K-Line's lighted vending machines

[Anonymous]

Have you guys seen these in their new catalog? $9.95. They are just what the doctor ordered for my train museum and vehicle stars museum, but like all things in these catalogs, who knows when they'll be available. I checked the K-line site and found no mention of a release date.

Double post, sorry

There's a guy on the OGR forum who sells these, and has since long before K-line started advertising them.

and a word of caution, in real life they are not illuminated the way they are on his web site.

Yes, I know. False advertising from what I've heard. Also, I think the K-line ones look more realistic, don't you guys?

I have had a conversation with the OGR guy being referred to here and one of those conversations centered around "why can't I get mine to light up like yours are in the ad?". His answer was that he used a bit of Photo-Shop to improve the image.

We discussed possible alterations but I wasn't about to do any of them.

I was really disappointed knowing that they will NEVER appear like those in the ads. But I still like the 3 that I have.
