[quote user="SchemerBob"]<p>[quote user="TheAntiGates"]Not just "cheap products"...CHEAP, CRAPPY PRODUCTS!!<br>[/quote]</p> <p>UPDATE - Yesterday I purchased all 6 "Enamelized" freight cars at Wal-Mart. Yes, I know I'm probably going to be beaten up because of that, but I don't really see what's wrong with them. I have a lot of these same trains (engines, accessories, track), and I heard about these cars and thought they would be a perfect, realistic addition to my collection.</p> <p>First of all, THESE TRAINS ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO "CRAPPY"!! EVERY car's main body is die cast metal with plastic parts. If you aren't careful with them, sure they're going to get busted, but isn't that how everything is? What I would call "crappy" are those HO train sets they have during Christmastime....every car is plastic!</p> <p>I realize I may be supporting something that is not good (Wal-Mart), but that's the only place you can get them, so you don't really have a choice. IMHO these trains are very well made and they are at a reasonable price. What else is there to say?</p>[/quote]<br> <br> More power to you Bob. It is possible to find <b><i>some</i></b> quality mechandise inside a walmart. <br> <br> Selling the top brands is NOT what made walmart ubiquitous though.<br> <br> Hey, if I wanted to buy a bare bones fish net for one season, as cheaply as possible, and realize that I'd be throwing it away and getting a new one next year, then i'd probably go to walmart for it. THAT is the mentality they serve...best.<br> <br> Look at the cookware sold a Wallyworld tha pots, pans and skillets, they don't have a quality offering in the store.<br> <br> I will go shopping at Walmart when I can't find what i'm looking for anywhere else, but the last time I went there looking for cookware, I laughed my way out of the store, it was all like rummage sale cookware, without the scratches.<br> <br> I do buy my soda pop there, made in america and cheaper than anywhere else, other than the 6 time per year blow outs, at Kroger.<br> <br> I'd rather buy quality products from a local mom and pop merchant, anyday <br>
