Excellent video. My only complaint if u will is the severe price increases on 2nd and 3rd party websites. I can order a truck directly from first gear for lets say 125 bucks...again example. Then 2 days later i can get on ebay or other dealers websites and see same truck going for 3 to 6 HUNDRED dollars...for what is the reasoning for this... ive been buying and selling dcp trucks for last 15 years and only in the last 2 have prices severely skyrocketed. I went t0 2013 national toy truck show in indy. Dropped a grand and came home with 11 trucks. Now if u go u maybe to touch 4 with same amount of money
Not all trucks are expensive. Some sell better than others. A T680 Kenworth vs a 389 Pete for example, the 389 will always bring better money than the T680.....normally.
The only thing about any colors I submitted is this comment "If it's in our book, you can use it". I've no idea how current their paintbooks or color code books are.
Great question. It is 84 cases of 6 unites. Perhaps it has more to do with shipping?? At one point you could order 150 units, then it was 252. Then it was raised to 504.
Thanks Eric very helpful information! Truly appreciated!

I have never had to get approval for any 'colors of paint' on any of the 10 runs I have done. Logos and graphics yes, paint color, no.

Why is it 504? It seems like a dumb number lol

@@RockinHFarmToys yeah you're probably right then. It's cool a company lets people do their own runs, pretty good business model if you ask me
