1:87 scale automobiles at Wal-Mart for $1.67

I discovered the Malibu International 1:87 scale cars at Wal-Mart about a month ago and have already purchased 37 of them from four different stores in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. What a gold mine of cars for my future layout. I also picked up several John Deere tractors by Athearn. The quality of these little cars is really good and the $1.67 price is wonderful for vehicles in 1:87 scale of this quality. <br /> <br />When I first found them there were only a few in the local Wal-Mart, but I started looking for them in every Wal-Mart I could find in my area. My only disappointment was that there were not that many older cars. The VW's and '55 Chevy are nice but I would love to see them manufacture more cars and trucks from the '30's, '40's, & '50's. I have emailed Wal-Mart and let them know how I feel and received a phone call from the manager of the toy department of my local Wal-Mart saying he would see what he could do. I was unable to find Malibu International Toys on the internet, even though they printed there site on the car boxes, but I did find all of your comments here on Model Railroader Magazine's site. <br /> <br />Hey guys, since you love these little cars as much as I do, email Wal-Mart and ask them to ask Malibu to make more of them for us to buy. Wouldn't be great to get some '40 Fords, '32 Chevys, '48 Dodges, and some old '30's, '40's , & '50's pick-ups? <br /> <br />Jim Peters <br />Broadway, VA <br />
