New BRUDER for Hours of FUN!

Several NEW Bruder items have come in recently and offer great play value for children ages 3+.

Loaded with working features, these 1/16 scale items allow kids to spend lots of time in quality imaginative play indoors or out. Manufactured of High-Impact ABS Plastic, these items are sure to last for years.

Let's check out the two NEW Mercedes-Benz Arocs Trucks today...

MB developed the Arocs to meet their clients' needs of power, ruggedness and efficiency whether driving on the road or working at the construction site. In addition to adding technical features, they also overhauled the design accordingly. For instance, the front of the radiator grill now sports a "bucket tooth" design with the "teeth" intended to signify that the vehicle is tough and hands-on and to express shear power. When adopting the design of its real-world brother, BRUDER focused on the sturdiness customers have come to expect from BRUDER and fitted the driver's cab with opening doors to allow BRUDER's toy figures to climb in.

BRUDER - 03622  Mercedes-Benz Arocs Truck with Roll-Off-Container

• Doors can be Opened
• Transparent Windows
• Folding Outside Mirrors
• Container can be Lowered and Dropped Off from the Rear
• Tires with Tread Marks

 The transport container is fitted with two swinging doors on the end and can be set down towards the rear and picked up again by the gripper arm. When the container is placed on the ground and the doors are open, it is even possible to drive smaller BRUDER vehicles into the container and have them hauled away by the container truck.

Mercedes-Benz Arocs Cement Mixer Truck  BRUDER - 03654

• Opening Doors
• Transparent Windows
• Tires with Tread Marks
• Turning Mixing Barrel
• 2 Slip-On Discharge Chutes
• Folding Outside Mirror

Add sand or rice!
The barrel of the cement mixer can be turned by a crank handle concealed in the water tank (barrel with conveying and mixing spiral). Just as with the original, the barrel can be emptied by reversing its direction of rotation. The auger housed inside the barrel will then convey the filling material towards the rear discharge chute. 

And, don't forget to pick up a figure or two for even more FUN!

Constructing a Great Collection with NZG

My grandmother is from Germany, so maybe that's why NZG models are so attractive to me. Like a plate of schnitzel or sauerkraut, I find myself gravitating towards their finely detailed models . And I'm here to show you two recent 1/50 scale arrivals from NZG that might make your mouth water, too.

Starting off with the Doosan Moxy MT 31 Articulated Dump Truck (Item 820 - Price $84.95), you'll find a highly-detailed and attractive model in the sharp orange paint scheme of Doosan. Some highlights include grab rails on each side of the body; mesh light guards secured onto the front lights; clear windows to see the wonderfully detailed cab interior; and a working tailgate that raises along with the bed, complete with chains, hydraulic cylinders. If I was an 1/50 scale person, then the Doosan Moxy MT 31 would be my dump truck of choice.

In keeping with the construction and trucking theme, take a look at this Strohmaier Mercedes Benz Actros 8x4 Truck Mixer (Item 754-21 - Price $89.95). The Strohmaier paint and graphics are a nice touch on an already great model and the details of this model are similar to the Doosan Moxy along with detailed wheels, tires, and frame.

I think these two models would be a great addition to any construction enthusiast's collection or anyone who loves good German detailing and quality.
