Hey Guys, I have emailed WalMart twice about the Malibu cars and both times gotten a phone call from the manager of the toy department in our local WalMart saying they were getting more in a couple of weeks. He did say that Malibu International Toys was probably just a name used by the manufacturer making the cars for WalMart. The company which makes the cars is Model Power which (unlike Malibu) is on the web at www.modelpower.com. I emailed Model Power telling them how much we all love the little cars they make, but that we all wished they would make more of the older models, like the 30's, 40's, and 50's. They do have on their site some models not carried by WalMart at this time as far as I know. They are a 1953 Cadillac Eldorado, 1963 Ford Thunderbird, 1969 Oldsmobile 442, 1956 Ford F-100 Pick up Truck, they also picture a 60's Mustang and Corvette and some cars pulling little camping trailers. In my email I encouraged them to produce a larger variety of years and models, and I believe if they really understood the market out here they would give us what we want, SO GO TO THEIR SITE AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT. If enough of us tell them they may just do it. I had a U. S. Congressman tell me one time that when he gets a letter from someone he figures that there are at least 10,000 more people that feel the same about an issue. If the Model Power people see it the same way your communication could have some real clout!
