Limited-Edition Tankers from DCP

March Madness is upon us! I'm hoping for a fine showing by my favorite team, the North Carolina Tar Heels, in the year's most thrilling tournament. The Tar Heels share some common traits with two limited-edition models from DCP: they both come from a quality institution and they are both composed of the finest components. While UNC's championship ingredients center around dominating interior scoring and innovative passing, DCP's models display Level Two detail which includes 5-stop positionable front wheels, detailed tractor interior, full working suspension, and a die-cast trailer. It's obvious, then, that you should pick the University of North Carolina to win this year's NCCA Tourney in any and all circumstances. What's more obvious is how fast you need to order these two DCP models; we have very limited quantities, they're in-stock and ready to ship, and when they're gone, they're gone for good!

DCP - 32643

1/64 scale

Price = $79.95

Wayne Transports - Peterbilt 379 63" Flat Top w/ Pneumatic Tanker (non vac)

DCP - 32644

Place your orders soon and have a great day!

Extraordinary Detail in New Cranes

As is widely known by now, 3000toys.com carries a broad selection of models, replicas, and toys (well over 3000!). Some of my favorite items are simple 1/64th scale cars and trucks.

The most intricate machines can make for the most interesting models and this is indeed the case for a few 1/50 scale cranes that we've just received. Read more about them below and place an order because these are in-stock and ready to ship!
