i have also seen a line of semis with out trailers and a line of cat equpment in 1/87 and vans at wal-martLarry said:Was in my WM today & they are redoing all the shelves(new modular) & the single 1/87th cars are going for $1.00 now instead of $1.64 ea. Also, the new cars are in a 6 pack asst. Same vehicles, but, diff. colors & the set is cheaper.
Also, if you want to build a Nascar race track, they now have 1/87th scale
racecars. I found 12 diff. cars in a box of 24 vehicles. Yes, Jr's car is in there, (#8).
Also, found some dual wheeled JD farm tractors.
At my local Dollar Tree this week I found 6 diff. 1/87th semi's at a buck a pc.
At WM they have a new line of semi's w/tandem trailers.
That's all the news I have for 1/87th vehicles.
More later.

Larry not to be mean or anything, but its time to retract that comment:Larry said:The Semi tractors are not 1/87th.[...]

The only reason I said they weren't 1/87th, was, I took one out of the box & sat it next to the trucks that are marked as H.O.& it looked a lot bigger. I have some that are smaller than 1/87th & the pkgs. were marked as such.jbaakko said:Larry not to be mean or anything, but its time to retract that comment:

They ring up as "1 87 TRUCK" too, not that it means that much, but even if they aren't 1:87th exact, they're VERY close. Look at the pic, Malibu International truck with a Bowser 53' Schneider trailer, even the kingpin hole matches.
Havn't seen the vans or Tandem tractor trailer sets.
I only saw 5 packs, there WERE a few cars I hadn't got before @ $7.97.OldGettysk said:I just returned from my local WallyWorld and scored with two cars towing trailers. One was a Ford Tunderbird and the other was a Karmann Ghia . I don't remember a Ghia towing any trailers back in their day but who knows. They sold for $2.47 . The cars which were singles are now sold in 6 packs at around $8.00 but they are just repeats of what the singles were.
I've never picked these out of the singles, unless they never got here:OldGettysk said:Your right they might of been 5 packs but they were the singles which were repackaged. Colors may very but they were all of the old ones. OLDGETTYSK
