Long-awaited First Gear models coming NEXT week!!

These NEW models from First Gear will be getting here next week!  Order yours now so that we can ship as soon as they come in.

Personally, I think this is going to be one of my new favorite models.  The paint job is super cool, it's a beautiful truck, and I know First Gear will do a good job with the details.  I definitely wanted to get my hands on it, so we'll be doing a Details that Matter (what's that? click here) publication a couple weeks from now, and hopefully a video demo (those too?? click here) in the near future.

Bruder Classics and New Releases

I remember several years back when my younger brothers would play with this particular Bruder Jeep for hours.  Even with their rough play, that thing was around for a long time.  My brother Jacob especially really liked Bruder toys when he was younger.  There was a time when my parents would have to work hard to keep him away from the warehouse, because if he got in, he was bound to end up with several Bruder boxes opened up, playing with the cars and trucks on the floor.  

Those days are gone, but Bruder is still one of my favorite brands that we sell.  All their toys are made of high impact ABS plastic, which is fade-resistant and doesn't break very easily.  

Sand-box season is still in full-swing, or these toys are great playthings any time of year.

On top of all the classics from Bruder, like the Jeeps my brothers used to play with, we have just received several new sets and figures from Bruder.  Check them out!  Click on any of the pictures or item numbers to find out more.
