Couldn't Help it
Walmart just stole #36 from the truck budget......But I couldn't help myself.

Re: Couldn't Help it
If our local Walmart stores actually carried any of this stuff my pockets would be lighter too!

Re: Couldn't Help it
Continuously reading about all these cool toys on the market, the wife and I decided to go on a mission and see how many of these cool trucks could be found locally. We hit 2 Walmart stores, Toys R Us, Shopko, Target, a hobby shop, and even a local high volume oddball store that sells models and toys. The only thing we found was this 1/64th 1972 Chevy:
It’s my first venture into the 67-72 world. But since it was painted the “correct” color I couldn’t pass it up! I guess this adventure confirms why I almost never bother shopping for anything locally except groceries. It’s not only that I hate crowds or I’m too lazy to go - more importantly our local retail stores carry almost nothing I’m interested in. For clothing, car parts, tools, or toys the internet happens to be the only place I can find what I want.

Re: Couldn't Help it
Might have to take a trip to Walmart tonite...They're usually kind of hit-or-miss for this stuff, but there's also a Toys R Us across the street! Nice score!!
