Merry Christmas to all of our Toy Tractor Times members. Stefanie and I hope that Santa was good to you this year. Mr. Claus brought Stefanie a pink 1/64 John Deere 9996 cotton picker for her growing collection of pink farm toys.

There were allot of exciting new farm toys released in 2008. Our annual "Best of" issue looks at your favorite new 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64 farm toys of the year. The year 2008 will be most remembered in farm toys for the new level of detail that was added in all scales and as a big year for 1/64 farm toys. Also make sure to read about our 2008 Toy Tractor Times Collector of the Year in this issue.

Thank you for your continued interest in Toy Tractor Times and support of our website over the past year. We have some new website features planned for your enjoyment in 2009. One of the new member benefits is our new image gallery featuring over 19,000 farm toy and tractor pictures. Follow the link highlighted below to start looking at all the great pictures. We are also excited to let you know the 2009 Toy Tractor Times 1/16 Anniversary Tractor will be unveiled at the 2009 St. Louis Farm Toy Show on January 31.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Until Next Times....

Jason and Stefamie Hasert
