hody21 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Are these models rare or quite common. My dad is thinning out his large collection and has one to sell. I was very surprised how well built they are, I thought they were all plastic but they have quite a few diecast parts in them. I cant remember seeing one for sale so was just wondering. Anybody clued up on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I think they are quite hard to find these days, I once had one and it was only around £20 but I've seen them going for a lot more. I dont know if the Replicagri model might affect the value of it now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Replicagri one looks a nice model but its too expensive and on a layout I find the tractors from them a little under scaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Apart from the lack of decals and the header not coming off I did think the Jaditoys model was a good likeness. I always said I would instantly buy suer detail models of an 8000 Clayson and a Dominator 85 if they ever came out, but surprised myself by not bothering!

Anybody clued up on them? They were fetching loads, I must say as soon as I heard Replicagri were doing one, I fished mine out and chucked it on eBay. I can’t remember what it made but well over £100. I would suspect they are now worth a fraction of that Due to a far better model now being available, as it’s not as if the jaditoy brand will really have any collectibility either. Have a go, you never know, but I suspect you might be 12 months late. Good luck though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'd say they wouldn't be described as rare but more uncommon. I bought a boxed one 2 years ago for the lower end of what has been suggested on here but others have seen them for sale at Zwolle show for 4x what I payed. I think the replicagri will have devalued them yes but definatley not down to their original price of £15 - £20! The model is a good likeness, I did a bit of work to mine and it no longer looks like a toy. It'd be interesting to put it side by side with the replicagri one to see their differences.

SPN Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I have one which was bought retail back in the 90s, and a second MIB which I bought about three years ago from a member at the then current value. At the time I joked that as sure as I'd buy it, some manufacturer would bring out a new more detailed version It's a lovely model, but the MIB will be staying MIB and the older one will be paired up with a Replicagri and some 10 series for a mid 1980s harvest scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf aphid Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Bit off topic, but similar tale, the Ertl case 856 suddenly became very Sought after, I had a job lot of 3 spare ones and I was sold all of them for £80+ each, I think today you’d buy them for £15-20 again in the event of other models hitting the market .....
