Sweet Modern Vehicles from Rite Aid
« on: October 31, 2010, 03:45:18 AM »
Hello all USA LAFers! I just picked up three great vehicles from Rite Aid Pharmacy. They are metal body with plastic interior and under body made in China. They were $5 a piece. Here are some pictures with the DC heroeclix Harley Quinn (28mm) and a Ral Partha Shadowrun figure (25mm).

I believe the maker is Kinsmart.  The Hummer is marked 1/40 scale, but is very close in size to a 1/43 Motormax Humvee I have.  I'd be happy to pick a couple up and post them if you like.  I can't guarantee red or yellow though.  The only ones I've seen in those colors were the Hummer truck, not the SUV.  SUVs were black and white.  I'm planning to check a couple Rite Aids in another town this weekend, maybe I'll find what you're looking for there.

Let me know if alternate colors are acceptable.
All my best ideas are someone elses

--- Must be nice, because they're no where to be found in any of the Walgreens & CVS stores here in Augusta, Georgia.

I went to every Rite Aid store in the area and found only 2 Hummers at the right scale. Both white. Bought one.

The hunt for the yellow hummer continues.

The ones I have look about 1/40, they are from a Chinese toy maker and they seem to be not very scale conscious. All of them have rubber band motors.

I should have mentioned that the Postal van is from a Chinese street vendor who also sells a yellow "short" bus and full sized school bus. They are about 1/40 but of slightly cheaper manufacture than the Rite Aid vehicles. You need to check them because they occasionally have imperfections in the paint application.

If some needs any of these you can PM me.

Kudos to Kidterminal for starting this thread! ;)

Here are some pictures of Rite Aid Cars I picked up today:


Figure from Hasslefree


Figure from Hasslefree


The figure is an Artizan Submarine Commander (the closest thing to a Fire Chief that I had on hand...)


Figure from Hasslefree


This hot rod says 1/34 on the bottom but it doesn't seem that much larger than the others. The figure is a converted Heroclix Ben Daimyo

One thing to note: Cars that were tagged $5.99 on the shelf (the larger cars) still rang up at $4.99 at the register (score!).
