SYSCO Alaska

We've been offered an opportunity to add the SYSCO Alaska truck by DCP to our inventory here at 3000toys. The SYSCO trucks have always been popular for us. It's so fun for me to be driving down the road with my family and suddenly say "hey, we have that truck!" Although I see lots of SYSCO trucks everywhere, I don't think I've seen a SYSCO Alaska one (obviously, since we're far from the "land of the midnight sun"). Someday I'm going to convince my husband that we need to move to Alaska. Any comments that might help me in this endevour will be used repeatedly.



This Freightliner Columbia, equipped with a unique looking Bull Bar, with SYSCO graphics comes with chromed double pup trailers, which is always a treat for me. We just received it last week, so they are ready to ship today. These will go fast because of a show an Discovery called "Ice Road Truckers," so be sure to get your hands on this limited item before it's gone!

Brand New Norscot models arriving any day now!

Norscot is one of the most exciting lines for me. The models are always so well done - really the best in their field. Keep your eyes out for items that we are having done exclusively for us. I'll fill you in on those more later.

In our next shipment, to arrive any day now, we will be receiving a single, astonishing item that is new us.

Here we have a Caterpillar Kenworth W900 Tri-Axle Day Cab with Trail King Lowboy Trailer and 950H Wheel Loader. This is one very beautiful truck. Now, lets say you love the truck, but maybe you already have the construction piece that it's hauling. Or maybe you like the whole thing, but would prefer to load the truck with a piece you already have in you collection. Well, there's good new for you. One of the exclusive items we are doing is this very same truck, without the load, to arrive in November! Aren't you amazed?


We are planning on bringing in several new items September first, so keep checking back! I'm so excited.

New Owner Operator Trucks

New Owner Operator designs PLUS new Knight, Swift, Marten, and Western Distributors are all on 3000toys now! All are in 1/87 scale, and some feature Tonkin’s NEW Peterbilt 389 model!

I am always excited to see new owner-operator truck announced. They are so popular, having no graphics, because it leaves room to customize with your own graphics at home, and they're great for those hard working people who do own their own rig. These are all available in 1/87 scale, perfect for HO collectors or maybe even featured in a train layout! Listed below are just a few examples of the latest releases:

Mattel Ferrari Merchandise for 2008

Now on www.3000toys.com is the 2008 Ferrari lineup.

Please submit your order quickly, as production will be limited for each car. The first of the models are expected to start arriving this month, and new releases will ship intermittently thru November as they arrive.

Speedracer 1/64 Set

Speedracer has been one of this year’s anticipated movies, and has gained popularity with people of all ages. The reviews have varied from excellent to horrible, but I think the movie accomplished was it was meant for. Having watched the cartoon while growing up, I didn’t expect a whole lot from the movie. Just pretty lights and some racing cars. Good enough for me.

Now, all the [important] vehicles from the movie are now featured in a 1/64 set by Johnny Lightning. These little guys are so cute! There are even little accessories to go with the cars.
