My 4-year old son (Nicholas) and I visited your facility Thursday 05-22-2008. He & I had a great time and enjoyed ourselves.
I was in looking at the collectors toys for sale, my question is: How can I acquire (purchase) the 1/32 John Deere 9530 Gold Edition Tractor that Ertl offers? Money is no object when it comes to my little guy… Can you keep me on file or give me your comments if one can be gotten?
