Die Cast Promotions, the #2 Farm Toy Producer




Die Cast Promotions
Overall Rank: #2
Types of agricultural products sold: Big Buds’, Rites’, and 1/64 Valley Center Pivot irrigation system, 1/64 semi tractors and trailers, Big Roys’.
Signature product: Probably the most recognizable are the 747 Big Buds they produced a few years ago but all of their products feature excellent detail.
Availability and pricing: Mostly at toy shows and online dealers. Prices are much higher than Ertl (usually 5-8 times), but worth the detail.
Positives: Great detail, offers models Ertl doesn’t produce.
Negatives: High prices scare away some collectors.
My impression: If Die Cast Promotions produced a wider variety of models, they would be #1 by far. Although the prices are higher, it is worth the level of detail you get, especially when comparing to the price of a custom made model.
