ertl toy catalogs

Picked up the new 2014 toy catalog boy times have changed use to be the good stuff was in the front and kidy junk in the back now the junk is up front and the good stuff gets 2 pages in the back
 
Used to be there wasn't any kiddy junk. It was all the same high quality toys. I don't know why people think kids today shouldn't have the same quality toys that we had? Throw away society I guess. I still have this one and almost every other one I ever got too.

I wish things would go back to the quality of the one you got there . They are adding more detail now than before but they aren't meant to farm with like the one in the pic . They should start and run for the price they charge now days ! Picked up a 1/64 scale 4 row planter it was almost 9 bucks I remember when stuff like that was 75 cents
 
Ya,this stuff just got so out of hand,I started collecting the real thing instead.
I can still tell you the tractor that destroyed my interest. I wanted to have all of the 2 Cylinder Club tractors as they came out. By about the third or fourth one the price went from $40 to $100. I bought one,but came home from that show so disgusted I was ready to throw all of them on a wagon and put it in the front yard with a for sale sign on it. That was the last 2 Cylinder Club tractor I bought and I've bought darned few of any kind since. If I find something old for a good price I'll pick it up,otherwise,forget it.
 
I love my toy tractors to much to give up entirely but you're right a guy can buy an old piece of equipment for what these toys cost I usually spend about 2500 bucks a year on toy tractors but I've started slowing down I need to put the money into my showroom . I've been trying to get most of the foxfire farm series and I have a 20 of the original precision series and a couple of the key series I'm not sure about this new precision series .
 
That is a beautiful collection not to many white ones it doesn't look like .I have a few case my favorite is the case traction engine . My favorite of your collection has to be 30 / 40 series 4wd pulling the chopper

I"m with you guys. i collect too, but i want super detail and some of the prices are just wild. i usually go after Spec-Cast and the precison series from Ertl which are numbered but i don"t see anywhere to tell me which models are which numbers. I"m looking for (I think)#7 which is a later Ford 5000, but what are #"s 1 through 6 or higher? it looks like John Deere is numbered up into the 20"s or more, but i have no idea what is what. mine are just for display and no one under 25 years of age is going to touch them.
