tractorman314 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The New Holland Combine looks very good, but Ninety quid for a toy suitable for 3yrs and up seems to me to be getting very expensive for a toy. tractorman314. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britains are only shooting themselfs in the foot and making toys from the likes of New Ray and Bruder more attractive to a cash strapped parent in a toyshop. It's all about value for money. Maybe that's why Smyths Toys stopped selling Britains!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I buy myself one is an entire different question tho haha but it is a shame combines and foragers will always and have always been more expensive than a britains tractor but not this much. I did think about the newray newholland and might actually go for one yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smyths have a New Ray box set of a Newholland C9 combine, T7. 270 tractor & trailer, grain silo and a few more little bits for under €40.. Put that on a shelf opposite the Britains NH combine and see which moves the quickest in sales... It was not too long ago a UH C9 combine was between €90 to €100. Never tought I'd see a Britains push up to that price so quickly. Now I know the NewRay is a pure carpet farming toy.. But Britains are also.. A parent will steer the purchase obviously towards va New Ray or a bigger Bruder.. Britains have basically increased their prices by 100%+ in under 10 years. Who's wages have matched that??

For a carpet farmer looking to buy his own kit you would have to wash a lot of cars and windows or work a good fue hours on the farm to get money gathered up for a combine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I remember as a boy in the early 70s buying my daily packet of Smiths salt & shake crisps at the corner shop for 2 1/2 pence, that was the peak of the £pounds purchasing power. It is now all but knackered and a similar packet of crisps in now over 50 pence! So as the sand runs out of the timer faster towards the end its not surprising to see model prices gettingto daft levels. It does beg the question however, how can UH roll out the current crop of very accurate tractor models (except MF 6S/7S) for only £65 each.
