A puzzle for Scott (Britfarmer) and other barnyard specialists.
I bought the two items below at a toy store in France which is a bit like a toys r us. I thought it would be a good Christmas gift for my grandson. As you can see the box says Britains, 1:32 scale. In small print it is written, C 2007 Learning Curve Brands, Inc, Oak Brook, Illinois ... . Further is written, Distributed in the U.K. by RC2, Hembury House ... Exeter.
The website printed is, www.ertl.com
Here are my questions.
1. Doesn't Britains now belong to first gear?
2. How long has it been since Britains belonged to Ertl?
3. Might these be items which have sat on the shelf for a few years? Hard to believe.
4. Does Britains still have a 'farm life' line?
5. Does Ertl own the Britains 'farm life' line?
