US Toy Purchase Part 1

I made a purchase from US Toy and got five vehicles. 
This post I'm going to look at the vehicles that look pretty close to the right size.

First up is a tow truck ($3.95).




The tow truck looks a little small, but not horribly so. I've seen pickups about this size before, so while I might not see it for a real tow truck, just as a compact pickup truck it looks fine. 

Next up is an antique roadster ($4.95).




The roadster looks pretty good. And I think it will fit in nicely with the cars I picked up from the Goodwill the other day.

Last up is a safari vehicle ($3.95).




I think this was the best size fit. The miniature is a little wider than normally so it might not be as obvious.
It was also one of the cheaper vehicles, so that was nice.
I might pick up some more of these later. Obviously the paint job has got to go.

Next post I'll have the 2 vehicles I got that I thought the sizes were unfortunately off a bit.

K-Mart Purchase

I swung by K-Mart and looked through their toys and found the following vehicle set ($5).


It has a race car, a pick up truck, and an equipment truck.

First up is the race car. It is undersized, I'd say probably 1:55 ratio. I don't think I'll end up using it, but who knows.



Next up is the pickup truck. It seems a bit tall, but not beyond the possible for some trucks I've seen.



Last up is the equipment truck. It actually looks to be an ambulance, 
so I'll probably take all the stickers off and return the paint job to that.
