It’s been a while since the last act of remotely controlled violence here at TLCB Towers, so the Elves were gradually becoming more complacent. This of course gave the Elf that discovered this creation a golden opportunity, which it seized by driving the Krone through the Elven Cage Room with the whirling EasyCollect 600-2 easily collecting its sleeping colleagues. Our toy combines have lots of details, features, and moving parts to keep the interest going too. While they may appear to be all about fun, these toys also offer numerous benefits for children.

Which is marvellous if you want to cut down some Lego corn, but considerably less so if you’re an Elf asleep on the floor as it enters the Cage Room. It was quiet in TLCB Towers over the past few days. The Elves were out foraging for creations, thus allowing TLCB Staff to get whatever it is they do done, away from any Elf-related shenanigans. That productivity ended today. Thankfully all of the ‘Harshharvester’s contraptions are hand operated, meaning no remote control and that we won’t spend today getting Elf blood out of the office carpet.

For children who like playing with chunky toys, the John Deere Monster Tread Super Scale Combine is a serious contender. With gigantic, moveable wheels and button-activated lights and sounds, we think it’s a winner. Plus, this Tomy toy is designed to handle some serious outdoor terrain!

This enormous green and cream spiky looking arrangement is a Krone BigX 770 with an EasyCollect 600-2, and it is – if you’re a TLCB Elf – not something that you want to see at all. If your child is into the realistic details of toys, you can’t go wrong with the Claas Lexion 780 Combine by Bruder. The true-to-detail design is ideal for budding farmers who want the most realistic combine harvester. From the functional doors and steerable rear wheels to the iconic lime green and orange colouring, this toy is a must!Children will always be captivated by combine harvesters because, let's be honest, no matter how old you are, there’s nothing quite like the sight of a combine eating its way through a field – making it a truly exceptional gift choice! With XL Motor all-wheel-drive and Servo rear axle steering, Eric’s model is almost purpose-built for mashing the maximum number of sleeping Elves. A wide path of destruction was enabled by the deployable harvesting arms, each powered by Medium Motor, with the harvesting mechanism itself driven by an L Motor powered PTO, and another Medium Motor able to raise and lower the whole attachment to the optimum Elf-mangling height. The Elf at the controls fulfilled its self-appointed Grim Reaper role admirably, with the BigX and EasyCollect only halted due to an Elven body-part jam in the mechanism, following which it fled the scene giggling maniacally.
