Bruder toys are fantastic..
Ok, they are manufactured out of plastic, but they have been tested to extensive lengths by my 2 yearold son (And me lay: ), and are still in great condition..
They a very realistic, have great play features (esp the fire engine with working waterpump, great for soaking an unaware wife :lol: ) and are a BIG 1/16 scale..

Downside is that they are expensive, the low loader cost me £55.00, but it was worth it :thumb:

Camus,

Yes the toys sound expensive. But if you (and your son) get as much use out of them, it makes a lot more sense from an economic perspective.

The thing that intrigues me about these toys is the fact that they

have great play features (esp the fire engine with working waterpump, great for soaking an unaware wife :lol: ) and are a BIG 1/16 scale..

You are having fun and creating memories with your son. Can't put a price on that, right?
As he gets older, the price of his "toys" will increase. :yes:
Just enjoy him.

Well. we bought our son his first bruder toy, a Mercedes skip truck, when he was 1 year old.
Its been sat on, thrown down the staircase, and been generally abused for over a year, but it's till as good as new, not a mark on it.
Goes to show how well made they are, so the extra money they cost is worth it in the long run :thumb:

Reminds me of my Tonka Trucks as a kid. They were heavy gauge metal stampings. These are probably a good bit more safe that those. And the detail accuracy is amazing! Heck, I might have to buy a couple for my "car" collection!

That's true! :yes: I had one of those and rode on it as well as others. A Livestock trailer and tractor, dozer, lowboy and tractor, plus a blue pickup. I told my wife about my childhood toys years ago, and so about a year later she found a new in box pickup truck. Just like when I was a Kid! HA! :thumb:
