Jason B Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hi I just picked up the new 1/32nd 9760STS Bullet Rotor "Collector combine. And I would just like to give my review of this new Collector combine. I think that Britans has done a pretty decent job on this model, it has all the handrails and warning lights on the machine. The cab detail is pretty good, although on future 1/32nd Collector Deere combines from Ertl/Britans, I would like to see more paint detail bringing out the different knobs and controls in the cab. In addition I would like to see the Green Star monitor mounted in the cab of future Collector Deere combines as well. The warning decals on the model make it look more realistic and they did a real nice job on the new rear chopper. Also Britans did a great job on the new dubble fold unloading auger on this model. Very impressed by this feature! It has all the standard work lights as well. One added detail I would like to see is a work light mounted on the unloading auger( but I can live with out it). Over all I am pretty impressed with this collector model. There are a few quality issues, but very tiney on my model and it seems that Britans is getting better at that. I give this model an 8.5 out of 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. I gave it an 8.5 instead of a 9 because of the small quality control issues, such as a couple small scratches in the plastic on the cab access ladder. Also the grain header still has that tiny fragile plastic belt that turns the reel and table auger in the grain head. This belt brakes very easily, I have had it happen on the other grain heads with my other 1/32nd Deere combines(ie: 9760STS Shelf version(2004 version, 9860STS Coll.ed, and 9880STS European version) This is something that needs to be changed.

Jason B Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hi Thanks for the posting the pictures GTS, I had planned to put some up but got busy, anyway it is a great model. I am trying to get the new 9880I STS for my collection but I have not had any luck. I am kinda hesitant to pay for shipping costs to Canada, as I am hopefully going going to school next September and need to save up for that. Hopefully some toy dealers get it in. Was told by Bill that the new 9880I STS won't be avalible in N/A : Take Care Jason B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyv78 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I just LOVE combines, they are like drugs for me, but I have a hard time with JD:s combine models, They looks like spacecraftships in some sort of way. Compared to Norscots 580 I think Britains 9880STS is a poor model. Is the new the same quality as the old one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Its a nice looking model but I just am not very keen on the shape of the STS - too 'stumpy' looking; but a model of one of the walker combines would be nice, a WTS perhaps? That 2266 that Britains/ERTL did a few years ago was OK apart from the fixed feeder house. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason B Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi I disagree about the Britans 1/32nd 9880STS combine being poor, I think it is a good model, the detail is excellent and is very nice looking over all. It may not be Siku or UH, but is a very nice model. Actually, I am kinda tired of hearing how Britans models, are poor and Siku and UH are great. I don't want to offend anyone, but I think Britans models are very nice, they have come along way, just look at the 2266 compared to the 9880STS.... Big difference in detail. Britains are getting better in my opnion. Take Care Jason B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Agree with you JB. Comparing detail for detail, the 9880 beat would beat the LEX 600 from Siku if the grain tank lids didnt look so plasticy. I was very pleased when I bought mine having bought the 2266 a year or two previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
