The response by those who are able to buy the Malibu International 1:87 scale cars is great and for those of you not able to get them at your local WalMart you should contact the toy manager in your store and ask him/her to order them. The same is true with the Athearn brand 1:87 John Deere tractors and the Norscot brand 1:87 Caterpillar yellow construction equipment. "If you ask them, they will order it." If they do not, contact WalMart headquarters at walmart.com. I have contacted Jonathan B. Tager, the vice president of Model Power (Malibu International Toys) and he said they were going to add some new (older) cars to their line in the future. These new cars are those being displaying on their website - modelpower.com. I did ask him if they would be doing any others and he said they did not have plans to do others at this time. Here is a new idea!! In all of the Walmart stores in my area they stock 1:72 scale cars made by Yat Ming right next to the 1:87 scale Malibu cars. These cars are as nice as the Malibu cars and sell for $1.44, that's less than the others. The shipments of 1:87th sell very quickly but the 1:72 just sit there for obvious reasons, THEY ARE TOO BIG FOR US TO USE! I have emailed Yat Ming and asked them to make older cars (30's, 40's and 50's) in the right scale, 1:87th. After the third email I did get an answer - I'm not sure he read what I wrote, so I have written again to ask for 1:87 scale. Any of you who are as interested in WalMart stocking more of the 1:87 scale cars for us might like to also write to Yat Ming to encourage them to change scales. If they hear from enough of us, they may just think it would be a good idea to give us what we want. Brian D. Thompson Office Manager Yat Ming USA, Inc.
