A german guy bought a model kit, you'll see at the photo. Now he wants to know, if it's a toy or a advertising gift. It looks expensive (Ertl) but and made by LEGO.
Can anybody tell me anything about this model kit? The GT must be a 4xx or a compact

Looks like a "LEGO" toy kit featuring John Deere. I would guess that there were many of those produced at the time, the tractor body styles look to be of a "newer" model.

I would say its just a toy do to the age rating on the top corner and the warning label on the front. A similar box , different toy on ebay

Ok, I know it looks LEGO, but I think LEGO would have put it's name on the box. My kids have occasionally gotten "fake" LEGO stuff from friends and family who don't know any better, so I would say this is some sort of LEGO copy. Ertl is a US toy company, they may have decided to branch out a bit, or they may have commissioned this from a LEGO copycat. And since it says "John Deere" all over it, I'm further guessing that John Deere either requested it or licensed it, and that a lot of them ended up in dealer showrooms as something for the kids. So, it is advertising, but not as a special giveaway, just as another way for the John Deere dealer to slide money out of your wallet.
