Sweet Modern Vehicles from Rite Aid

[Heldrak]

See? I'm 5' 9" and they seem perfectly in scale..!

I went to a new and different Rite Aid today and they had a significantly different stock of cars:


1962 Volkswagen Bus (with Hasslefree Wolsey/Not-Shaggy)


1955 Chevy Nomad (with Artizan Sky Pirate)


1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner (with our own Professor Witcheimer)


Modern Police Car (with Pulp Figures Detective)


1955 Ford Thunderbird (with Artizan Ernest Hemmingway)

I know, I know, they're all too large...

Yep, NotShaggy looks like an eight year old next to the VW camper, but still, those are nice looking PJs you have there, good job that señor.

Yes... take a 28mm miniature with you... not all the vehicles are the same scale.  Some are way too big and some are too small but many look great.

Yes all the 1/40 cars are way too big. Thought I do use the 1/40 Hummer because it's supposed to look big. The 1/40 pickup trucks look too large as well. They do sell some 1/43 cars, which are a good size.

Even the oversized vehicles can have uses.  I bought the VW to armor it up and use as a post apoc vehicle.  Hopefully, when I'm done, you won't be able to tell it's a VW rather than a large school/passenger bus.

Interesting! Please post a picture here when you've finished it.

Because they are so cheap, you can also use the larger/smaller vehicles as scrap!

Heh I have that van and it is actually 1/32 according to the text on the bottom

New Chrysler PT Cruiser from Duane Reade! It's 1/43 scale. (For you in the rest of the country is should be in Walgreens. They bought out Duane Reade recently to they will have all their suppliers.)

The Foundry pirate is 28mm to the eye.

Chrysler PT Cruiser 1/43 with Hummer 1/40 next to Heroclix Harley 30mm to the eye.

Please note the Postal Van is actually 1/43 scale not 1/40th. There is no scale listed on the underside of the vehicle but it scales up correctly with the caddy 1/43 and the PT Cruiser 1/43.


Happy hunting! Rob

Someone willing to get me a red and a yellow hummer and post it out? (I'll paypal you).

PM me please.

The Commander

So what happened to all these offers of hummers I got then?

PM me people!

[Eldorf.Dragonsbane]

Went up the the Rite Aid nearest to me to see if they happened to have the vehicles back in. They did. I picked up two hummers (one Red and one Yellow), the Mail Truck and a Black Police Cruiser (Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor).

Commander Sorry but you cant have my hummers, the yellow one is currently in repaint so that it will now be black.

[TheMightyFlip]

Can you post a shot of the Camper from the other side please?

Last time I checked (a couple weeks ago),  the local Rite Aid stores had switched to 1/25th cars.  I'd be happy to re-check them, but as I mentioned above, my local stores didn't have red or yellow.  I think black and white were the option.  If any alternate color is acceptable, I need to know before I buy.

All sorted now cheers

And heresy painting over the yellow one with anything other than a big number three on each side!
