Quality control seems to be an issue with both Ertl and spec cast. Ertl toys quite often are missing parts. Spec Cast toys get shook a part during shipping.
Farm toys are getting much harder to find. The John Deere dealer use to carry every toy in the catalog. Last time I was at the dealership. They had moved the toys to a dark corner and only had five 1/16 toys.
I don't buy as many as I did for three reasons. One is price. When I started collecting in the 80's. $30 would buy almost any toy I wanted. The first precision classic I bought cost $72.95.
Reason number two. Toys are much harder to find. Have to order off the internet and pay $30 shipping. I found a 1980's order form in my closet from Zarse farm toys. UPS shipping $3 per order!
Reason number three. Toys are too new for my collection. I mainly like 1940's and 50's models.
I still customize and sell toys. I just put steel wheels on the newly released model B. Cost me $36.00 plus shipping to buy the B. The wheels came from Ebay.
