2024 Spring/Summer New Releases 

ERTL Farm Toys

Greetings from Dyersville!

As soon as you think winter is over, mother nature sends us some more snow. The nice thing about spring snow is that it doesn’t last long. As we look into Summer now we are excited for the Summer Farm Toy Show coming up in June!

I apologize for the long delay in getting out this blog. I did some traveling, including a trip to the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany. It was great meeting with our Britains team and talking about some of the new projects we have in the works. 

Case IH

Switching over to new releases and product news, we are now shipping our new 1:16 Precision Heritage IH 986 Tractor with 720 plow (Sku: 44309). The plow is all new tooling and has some impressive features. Each bottom individually trips and we have hydraulic hoses that will connect to the tractor. 

Coming out in June 2024 is our 1:16 Steiger CA325 Industrial Tractor (Sku: 44348OTP). This is a one-time production run and features the authentic industrial yellow and black paint scheme, dual wheels with opening hood and doors.

In 1:64 scale we have a Case 970 and 1070 Black Knight set (Sku: 44368) also coming out in June. This “Prestige” set features the Black Knight paint scheme, 3-point hitch detail, and detailed interior.
