New Bruder Models

[DieselKid]

I have been anticipating as I'm sure some of you have the arrival of the new 2010/2011 models that Bruder has to offer.

Thought the release of the new models would be no sooner than early winter but after browsing the 3000 Toys website tonight I see that's not the case, at least not when it comes to these...

The new JD combines have been out for a little while on the other side of the pond but are just now making their way to Ebay from US sellers who've imported them....

Nothing earth-shattering, especially if you're not a fan of Bruder (but honestly who isn't?)......but just thought I'd share for those like me who absolutely love and appreciate everything the Bruder pieces have to offer.:)

That combine sure would make a nice load.

Thanks Alex.

Agreed, and heck I haven't even seen one up close yet......just assumed it would be seeing how their original CAT Lexion combine was way off. Advertised as 1/16 and was more like 1/24.

Somebody's ruler's bent, that's for sure, LOL.:D

Yeah, I was thinking that the crane portion would look killer if somebody stripped it from the truck chassis and threw a 4x4 drivetrain under it....can we say all-terrain hydraulic crane?!:D Something like this LB here maybe...

Yeah that's the version I'm looking forward to, even more so than the one mounted on the Scania.

3000 toys has the same Granite crane truck you pre-ordered....if you still have time to cancel your order with Northern Tool I would, save yourself some cash with 3000's flat rate shipping of $7.95...

Yeah that would be sweet. I used to bid jobs for a large roofing company and the ower was a toy nut he ordered a new 379 truck that was a tri axle with 2 lift axles one in front of the driver and one in the rear and it had a large crane on the bed you could built a truck like that it would be sweet..

Thanks Alex. I only put the web site up to show the unit. I was able to get mine through the local toy store here in town. That way I save on shipping and he just charges the same price as the web. Rob
