Knew it was going to happen tho. They are only checking to ensure no damaged ones slip through the net, insert "tongue firmly in cheek smiley" Well that's what I was told. Not paying silly money for one, unless I get a nice lottery win, so, as I said, not paying silly money for one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to see if there’s one worth big money in the box 😂. Never mind would be nice to have a gold and silver but I’m not paying for them haha bought on for myself and one for the new born son He Might be a collector one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udimore Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 You have to be careful here as there are a lot of rumours made up by facebook warriors and the stories continue to grow. I have read some absolute garbage from people who have no idea Britains told me directly more than once that the Gold ones would come out identified in different trade boxes marked as A. They even were marked different on the invoice from Britains to us Sure enough within the trade boxes we found different quantities of Gold.... However UTS customers have informed me that on last count we had sent out 5 gold ones marked up without the A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I bought two, one from Jadlam and the other from Kings baby shop both had their seals broken and had been opened. I returned the one of them and have order one from Udimore, hopefully he will be kind and send me a gold one.😉 There should be a “name and shame” list if any of the manufactures decide to do something of that nature in the future, so potential customers can purchase from honest reputable dealers.

powerrabbit Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Revisiting this topic I recently bought one that was blue but there is a gold example listed on eBay with the price tag of £849 + £15 postage (or best offer) from the Netherlands, the underside of the tractor bears a serial number suffixed by an A but the base of the box is not a full picture so any numbers on it are not visible, saying that, the blue one I have has a serial number on the bottom of the QR code sticker that has the A suffix but obviously is no indication that the A in this instance that the box contains a gold model. Unless someone discovers otherwise I don’t think that there is any way of knowing without opening the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 A bit more research throws up the following, the contents of the boxes is completely random, 100 gold tractors mixed in with the 7500 total produced. There is nothing on the box anywhere that identifies what colour is in it. Here is a picture of the base of a box that contains a gold one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
