Minty Fresh

The month of June has brought some hot weather our way. Long sleeves have been traded for short, and shivering has officially been replaced by sweating. But one thing never changes around the 3000toys.com offices: new, exciting, and very cool models are always arriving.

Some of our newest models just came in from Die Cast Promotions and they are a burst of fresh air. Minty fresh. In addition to their minty freshness, these 1/64 scale DCP models are all finely detailed and just waiting to be a part of your collection!

A [Live] Ringer

Everyone likes a ring. If you're a sports fan you know that the professional players are all striving to win a championship ring. Outside of athletics, I can remember searching for the perfect ring for my wife before I proposed to her. When she said yes, I decided that rings are great.

We don't have diamond encrusted rings at 3000toys.com, but we do have a sweet Mammoet Ring crane. It's the Mammoet PTC 35 DS - Platform TwinRing Double Stacked Heavy Lift Ringer Crane, to be exact. That's certainly a mouthful and this WSI made, 1/50 scale replica is also quite a handful.

Item: M410046 -- 1/50 Scale

Price: $2195.00

Beautifully detailed and an especially substantial model, the Mammoet PTC 35 DS is a Special Edition version of the famous Mammoet PTC Crane Model. This configuration is stronger and has a larger maximum capacity at a longer boom length. It will be delivered in an exclusive Mammoet package with an instruction guide and certificate, and will be produced in a limited edition of 250 pieces!

Check it out today and make sure to look at the rest of our WSI models!
