I found a large assortment of the neat 1/87th Dodge and Ford mid '70s Vans at Wal-Mart last night in the toy clearance isle...all were marked $1!
Also saw a few designs that I hadn't seen in the past. The Ford Van in red with a gold zig-zag stripe and the same stripe pattern on a black example. Also saw the Dodge van in a tan color with Easter Island head statues on the side. Hadn't seen any of these styles in the past.

| Yeah... I noticed the larger scales were on clearance, but I haven't found any more of the 1/87s. I scoured 4 wal-marts in my area. Looks like my customizing days are done.... I'll have to trickle out the few I have.

GIC, PM me if you're seriously wanting more. The Wal-Mart I was at last night had maybe two long full cases for $1 each. I bought another half dozen for myself.

Let me take stock of what I have and get back to you. I have about a dozen that I've repainted and have yet to design graphics for, and I might have stashed another dozen somewhere else. But if these won't be available elsewhere, anymore... that'll be it. Still, for $1 each I should just have you buy what you can and so be it...
Lemme get back to ya.

After seeing a decent group of the Street Whips Vans a week ago, I've had no luck finding any more at any other Wal-Marts in my area (Kansas City).
Same goes for the Athearn John Deere Tractors in 1/87th for a buck. I saw a handful of 1/50th Athearn John Deere Tractors, but no HO-scale for a $1.
Still Looking....

DFW Wally-Worlds do NOT have any 1/87th Whipz or JD tractors.
Only 1/64th.
