Kirely Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Was looking forward to this one but I'm not so sure of the 'names' in white lettering on the mudguards, look quite visible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 wasnt going to bother ,as its a bit to “old” timeline wise for me ,however after some pondering i have decided to get one, doubt i would be luck enough to get a gold one mind 😄 hard enough buying a blue 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Shame about the print inside the rear mudguards. The big ERTL.. MADE IN CHINA spoils it. Will probably still get one. Are the gold ones just going to be a random lucky find?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Looks good Barry, nice box too. Lucky man getting the Gold one !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I think they missed an opportunity here, seeing as they are made from diecast and not lead, a rear hitch could have been incorporated as per the E1A's. Get mine soon hopefully. Plenty for sale on a certain auction site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have recieved 14 cases from two different wholesalers. Every case had been opened prior to me receiving them. The gold ones have different codes, again another mistake by Britains. So all anyone needs to do is look on the underside of the box. So it is even happening to those buying wholesale. The only guarantee that you get unopened cases is direct from Britains!

As I understand it, the code has an 'A' on the end, so 43293A for the Gold one. This, therefore is printed on the underside of the model box, rather than the trade case. I can only make that assumption as each of my trade cases was opened, but none of the tractor boxes were...... Needless to say going by this, I haven't received any gold ones!

ford/nh fan Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 It will be interesting to see who does get a gold one , they should never have let it be known there were special ones . I did email Britain’s to ask if the boxes would be sealed as to stop people seeing if gold ones were in there . They replied yes they would be sealed . Mine had definitely had one of the stickers tampered with . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had definitely had one of the stickers tampered with . I had to open 5 of mine as there was something (turned out to be loose drivers) rattling around. You would struggle to see inside only removing one sticker, though I am happy to be corrected! As all my cases were opened, I still reckon the code is different. Had it not been, it would have been much fairer and also if they were sealed in a tamper proof way..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendtenator Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I was lucky enough to get a gold one, code on the box has no 'A' on the end. Bought from jadlam, nice to see they are an honest seller with what I am seeing elsewhere with these models. My driver was loose aswell. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few traders seem to be better than the majority, mine were opened, to check for damage apparently. There is no A on the Blue boxed ones either, presumably why traders are opening the boxes. I think Britains should have kept quiet about inserting random coloured ones, I don't doubt it would have got out eventually but everyone has the same chance then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Any reputable rerailers out there willing to sell an opend box out of a certain batch number as im interested in purchasing one but not off the said ones who open the boxes if you know what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I see them again in another local shop... won't give name for fear I'll get in trouble... But obvious signs off tabs peeled open. Maybe it's the supplier off the models to the shop. Maybe it's a cheeky buck hunting for one and damaging the boxes unnoticed to the shop keeper. Maybe it's the shop keeper himself .. Who knows. All I know is I'd have a better chance off winning the lotto or pay silly money on Ebay for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumC Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Both of mine came opened one seal pealed back and the other stretched from hinging Both models exactly the same. Knew it was going to happen tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
