Just to let every one know.Walmart has die cast Pintos.The company name is Fresh Cherries and distributed by Motormax.The work is excellent,I plan on getting some more when i can find them.
HMMM Interesting!!!!
If toy manufactures are making Pintos?????
What's next???
From Pintony
I doubt the walmart I work at will carry them. they didn't have the watch there, but if I see any pinto merchandise, I'll buy it all :exclamation:
krazi
i have seen them listed on ebay they come in 1/64 and 1/24 scale. i was wondering what store carried them. thanks for the info.more cars to add to the 4000+ cars :lol:
They used my 73 as a basis for their models. I sent about 20 photos of my car. I even got one of the first ones made. It was sent to my house. The model I got was green with a white top. If you look closely at your model you will see a line on the top. This was a seam in my vinyl top that was put there when the previous owner had it redone. The upholsterer said he didn't have enough material in avocado green to do a one piece top so he had to put that seam down the middle. There are also aftermarket speakers in the doors, these were also taken from the many photos of my interior that were sent along with the exterior shots. If you look closely at the rear license plate you will see a frame that says Friendly Ford, this was also on the car when the photos were taken. I had a PCCA sticker on the car but that did not make it on to the model. I may have the option of buying a couple of cases to resell, If I do the prices will be very reasonable, of course my sons want a couple for their own, I am trying to teach them the value of Pintos as well as all vintage Fords. All in all this was a great little bit of nostalgia for me and produced a few memories. I found out about this opportunity right here on this board, Motormax put out a call for someone to allow them to photograph a Pinto and I responded. Johnny Lightning is supposed to be putting out a 1/64 Pinto this year. Pretty cool huh?
Tercin
I got my walmart Pinto last night & it's actually pretty good quality for the 2 bucks.
That's a cool story, I'm going to try and get some!!!
can anyone post a picture of the toy?
Hello 78pinto.

Yeah, whats up with that?
I think I might stop by the ole Wal-Mart and see what they have.
Just got back from Wally-World...bought all they had...(2) a whopping $4.23 out the door...more dust collector`s... ;D
Its interesting they call it a 1970 Pinto....... :o
Yeah really..... you think they could have at least called it a 71! ::) :what: what is it about finding Pinto models? These are the first I've ever seen, besides the plastic dealer electric promo 71 my dad has....... I got to get me one!!! (or two, or three...... in blue of course........maybe paint my own little gold accent strips.....) ;D :D ;) :) :)
I hope to have the 1:24 available mid April. They are green with a white top. I will post a note to let people know the price. It will be reasonable.
Tercin
Hello Tercin,
They already have them on ebay.
From Pintony
Pintony
I am not looking to make any money, more of a convenience thing. I thought these looked cool and I have an opportunity to get them cheaply and that is how I plan to sell them, Cheaply.
Tercin
Hello Tercin,
I will take the fresh cherries Pintos 1 in every color.
PM Me with what you need for them and I will stop by on my way to Ca and pick them up.
From Pintony
just got back from walmart as came home with 2 1/24 scale pintos a green and brown. it is labled as a 1974.the price was $9.94 each. they said they just came in and the 1/64 should be there soon. on the back drop in the box there is a little story about the history of the pinto and even mentions PCCA and Fordpinto.com.
very cool car
Yeah, I just went today to get some things and decided to stop and see if they had any. They did! all they had left was two Poppy red ones, labeled 1970, and they also had a yellow 1970 Ford Maverick so I picked that up too! So cute! I didn't see any of the 1/24 scale ones though...oh well, I got my $6.48 worth! ( I wish they would have had a dark blue one, that would have really made my day...)
Yes I know, I have a sad life. :drunk:
;D :D ;) :) ::)
Hello BlueGoldPinto,
Not a sad life a happy Pinto one, now that there is something to look for at wallyworld other than tooth paste and paper plates. :)

The average age is 45-50
I must be just a young collector based upon your age group . this is what my wife gets to look at every morning when she wakes up .it's only 1 of 3 walls coated - not to mention the other 4 rooms in the house . even my kids have told me i have too many toys . my wife says it's not a collection - it's an obsession .
Hello group
I am curious about what was written on the box. I sent Motormax some information from my 73 sales brochure. The model I got came in a generic box. I guess the retail box that you have was not ready when they sent mine out. See my previous post and let me know if some of the details are included in the model sold at WM.
Tercin
I like the wallpaper that Philstoys uses. I have a similar design in my basement. It is an obsession, but it is legal and you can't get any social diseases that I am aware of. Pintony did manage to kick it cold turkey.
Tercin
Hey Tercin,
I`ve included a couple pic`s of the Fresh Cherrie`s Pinto in the package...the print is too small to read...so here is the quote from the back of the package:
"A Pinto is a small horse with a patchwork coat; it`s also a small car Ford produced in the U.S. The Pinto was an important car in the 1970`s,partly due to it`s fuel economy during the oil crisies of that decade.It was available in two-door sedanor hatchback and station wagon bodystyles.Although Ford sold thousand`s of Pinto`s,there aren`t too many around anymore.Nevertheless,club`s such as the Pinto Car Club of America and websites such as www.fordpinto.com,continue to spread the word and preserve the legacy of Ford`s trusty Pinto."
73pintogeek
Thanks for the info. Sounds like they did a bit of justice to our cars.
Tercin
Swung by the local wally world last weekend. Either they were totally out or don't stock them...
Tercin,
the detail you described is the same as the one I picked up at wallmart. the saying is different on the 1/24 car.
" Pinto as it is named , is a small horsewith patches; A small car that Ford introduced into the U.S. car market, after their sucess with the bib brother Mustang.
The Pintos was an important car in the 70's, partly due to the its fuel econemy in the oil crisis.
It was made in 2 doors, 3 doors hatch back, and station wagon format.
Thousands of these were sold, but most did not last long. Now we have clubs like " Pinto Car Club of America", and web sites, such as www.Fordpinto.com that linked the once and now owners together, and share their memories and experiences with this little car that has made history but lacking the attion of what a historic car should have."
the gramatical errors and all. the last pare is hard to read in the box , but the boys need one out for there shelf.
Philstoys
Your shelf looks great. The Pinto certainly should be the centerpiece. My local WM has the space already labeled and ready to go. All they need now are the toys. The woman that runs the toy dept here is not always helpful to us collectors, some of the people that work for her are the best. The Pintos will arrive sooner or later.
Tercin
Went to wallyworld this morn. to see if there were any and lo and behold, 3 differ'nt colors, western washington got'em in stock now, but still no pinto watches

thank you for the complement on the shelf. I have been watching for the Johnny lightning one as well . I first saw it listed to apear this spring then it dissapered from the list. it was part of an all Ford set.
I ordered that all Ford set because of the Pinto but when it came no Pinto. They said I could send it back but I just kept it because of the other cool Fords. It is listed to come out this summer.
Tercin
What are you taliking about Pintony? I always go to Dollar General for toothpaste and paper plates!!! ( Yes! I love to go get my toothpaste!!!) ;D
oh man im smack in the middle of that age group!?! i usually go to a indoor flea market to find the better detailed hot wheels, jl s an even some match box. i started off opening them an put them in those clear plastic cases,(which i cant find any more) now im stuffing them in suit cases. gotta get some of those little pintos.i dont collect any cars that aint american stock or muscle,kinda particular that way. pintok
yeah, thats where i went get mypinto t-shirts. pintok
hey scott, i may be older than most of you, but still am very young at heart.my wife always asking me when im gonna grow up. dont think i ve ever answerd her question :D
guess i have to goto wally world after the races tonight.
Been to every dang wally world in upstate South Carolina, The only thing I got was "You are looking for what kinda watch?! And what kinda Toy Car?!" Even tried going to wally world website. Guess I will have to get mine online or suffer. And there is a huge wally world warehouse about 30 minutes away.
i also went on a road trip today looking for the 1/64 size and no luck i did find 10 more 1/24 size as well as the 6 my local walmart still has, i guess i am the only one in my area who wants one. If any one is intrested i can get the 1/24 for $ 10 plus shipping probaly about $5 been a while sence i have mailed something that size.
I went to a Wal-Mart today and they had nothing Pinto related. :(
They did have a 4'x18' pool though. ;D
Hello Group,
I went to Terre Haute Indiana today and stopped at Vandalia and Effingham.
I got 4 Blue Pintos and 4 Orange Pintos + 2 red mav 2 yellow Mav and 2 green MII and 2 Black MII
Seems that there is only 12 cars in a box.
So if the pegs are empty then they are Gone!!!!!!
From Pintony
Went to WM Friday morning after work they had put out a case of 1:64 cars, bought all of them. I still need a few more of the Pintos though, I plan to customized them.
Tercin
How many are in a case?
Pintony
12 cars in a case but only 4 Pintos. The rest are Mustang IIs and Mavericks.

They are cool little cars.
From Pintony
hmm, wonder if we have any pull at Motormax Toys (we being the collective FordPinto.com who is mentioned on the back of the packaging on the Fresh Cherries die-cast cars) to request other years *cou-1976-gh* / styles *cou-stationwagon-gh* or colors *cou-fordorange-gh*? Sorry, must have a tickle in my throat.
http://www.motormaxtoy.com/ (http://www.motormaxtoy.com/)
oh, I swung by walmart this evening. They actually had a few in stock so I picked up an orange one, and yellow one. I'm impressed with the detail on them.
I have not seen the Yello Pinto yet???
From Pintony
well, I guess some would argue that it is very light orange, not yellow. Compared to the Red/Orange one it looks yellow to me. If all the packaging is the same, it's the one printed on the front, behind where the car sits.
If that doesn't help, I'll try and take a pic of it and get it posted.
No... I know there is a yellow Pinto in this set.
I'm just saying that I have not found one yet.
I still have not seen any 1:24 scale Pintos.

ah, I gotcha. If I see another one I'll grab it for ya.
I haven't seen any 1:24's either, except on ebay. Just noticed that one of the little ones has a bid on it for over $14!! I paid $1.97 for the same one at wally world. hmm, might have to snag up all I can find locally. With returns like that, I could fund my turbo pinto project! The ol' lady can't say anything, she has a box of beany babies stashed in the closet collecting dust!
Motormax told me that we could get some made with our logo on them but it would be a pretty large minimum. I don't know if we could sell them and someone would have to come up with the $ up front. A risky proposition considering the problems with the first calendars. I still haven't seen the 1:24s at WM yet.
Tercin
I would love to see a 1:24 1978 Cruising Wagon - the silver one with the candy stripes
Amen to that.
went to wally world this sat. morning, just got them in, i scored 2-blue & 1-red 1/64, also picked up 1 each brown & white and green & white 1/24 they are cool even though my real one is a :7: :8:, i'm thinking about painting one the color of my car...... :lost:
I got a nice gift from my dad recently. The guy wet to 4 walmarts before he found me a small pinto. Then to top it all off he found me the 1:24 scale car.
Proof positive my daddy loves me ;D & apparently my obsession with the Pinto. They will be with me to Carlisle.
The green and white 1:24 showed up at my local WM. I can pick up some extras if anyone wants one. $10 plus shipping, probably around $5. I was going to order a case from Motormax but I think I will hold off. Since they are showing up all over the place I don't want to get stuck with them. I am still looking for the other colors beside the green and white. I also still need some 1:64s.
Tercin
could anyone post upc's for this product? I work at the walmart here in hastings, and I'd like see if it's in our system.
krazi
krazi, the upc on the back of my red one is #6173273600 hope this helps! sky :swirl:
I found the yellow F.C. Pinto!
I hope this werks.
I bought the 1/25 version last night. It's actually the same color as my car ;D Even if it is a sports appearance package & an early model. Looking the model over as a model car builder, it's actually a really good replica. Granted the diecast compromises are there, but overall, it's a convincing replica.
Been to two w-m's and no pintos. :lost:
I will not buy them on ebay for what people are re-selling them for, and I hope the IRS gets them if they are not paying income tax on that money.
Bill
my lovely wife got me 2 blue 1/64s and 2 1/24s. The 1/24 are green and white and brown and white.
The hood and doors on the 1/24 work. Also you can turn the front wheels.
Just found one of the orange and white 1/24 models yesterday. heh, didn't notice the front wheels turn. They were out of the other colors and didn't have any matchbox sized ones again so I know I'm not the only one buying them! I did notice that they are making a 1/24th scale Gremlin which was all black. Cute in a misfit sorta way. Might have to buy one just because.
Been to 2 walmarts (on in MA one in RI) and haven't found any yet...
The hunt continues :D
Just got back from W/M with my pinto. Finally they had them. I could get any color I wanted as long as it was green or brown. Still want an orange one to match my wifes car. Might need to contact someone in ohio.
Bill
I finally found them! I bought two of the green '74 pintos. there were plenty of the gremlins there, I also found the 1/60 scale cars. no pintos in that selection though. I got the '77 mustang in two colors, and a yellow '70 maverick. I hope they get more in, especially a light blue maverick, like the one my gramps had. it's like christmas!

Scarfed one up for me!
If y'all can believe this, there's been four pages of dicussion of this over on another forum I'm a member of, "Scale Auto Magazine" . The topic includes both the Pinto & Gremin diecsats, but for there to be this much interest at a "mainstream" car guy site is impressive, & a welcome change in atitude toward our "Lil Horses".
Linky..... http://www.scaleautomag.com/sca/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33677
You shouldn't have to register to read.
I now have both the 1:24 scale pintos and the orange 1:64 one. The larger ones are going to be re-done when I get the chance. One will be remodeled to look like my car does now (that sunroof is going to be a pain!). The other will be rebuilt to match my car when (read: IF EVER) I finish with it... I'll have to dig thru model supply houses to find the proper wheels, scale engines and such...
As for the large scale ones, apart from the roof seam, the back is seems little off... It's like the roof is a little long and the hatch angle is a bit too steep.

That is the one.
walmart finaly got the 1/64 scale in . I got a blue and an orange. now i have to wait for the rc.
Well, if not for this site mentioning this topic awhile back I wouldn'tve had a clue about these diecast Pinto's. So first, I'd like to thank you guys for the heads up, as I collected Pinto's years ago and still LUV them.
Anyway, my son & I went to Walmart just a couple evenings ago, and sure enough there was two, there was also 3 of Mavericks and a Mustang II.
I grabbed them all!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not usually one for buying toys so my son looked at me like .... :surprised: then once he saw what kinda cars they were he was like, Oh KOOOOOOOOOL! ;D
I have pics here of all of them but will only post the Pintos here. If anyone is interested I will sell all except for the red Pinto.
Thanks again, and have a good weekend everybody! :peace:

Funny you should ask this...
I'm going to be contacting the mfgr of these cars & see if I can get them mfgr some CHEVY LUV's ;D
There was a company called Yatming, made 1/64 scale Step-side Luv's back in the 80's, I have 3 of those trucks here, don't know much more about that company or what else they ever made.You might wanna check & see if they ever made any Pinto's back then... :search:
I'll keep you guys posted as to what might become of my idea for having some new LUV's made.

Just got my RC last night!! Really cool too!!! $19.74 at wallys, they also had a RC Pacer for the AMC folks.
I got a small blue pinto, and got a green and white 1/24 scale one. Can you tell me what the packaging of the r/c car looks like or maybe provide a pic? I hunted for the r/c but couldn't find it, I may have looked right at it and not realized it, there are so many toy cars in that isle.

Did anyone else take notice of the door speakers on the 1/24 scale? and my steering wheel is glued on upside down too. anyone else notice the pinto emblem on the steering wheel is upside down? I figured out what is funky about the hatch, the guy who let them use his car for the model said he had the roof vinyl made and the seam came from the upholsterer not having a big enough piece to make it one piece, and the weird hatchline comes from the trim piece around the back of the vinyl roof. it gives it a squarish line instead of a round one. and it is supposed to be a 74 whats with the small bumpers?

Can't we all just be thankfull that they even make these lil cars & not pick them all to pieces? I don't even own a real life scale Pinto but collected them years ago. I think the toy makers have done a great job!
They could've vetoed the Pinto and made YUGO's instead! :lol: :nocool: :sleep: :showback: :rolleye: :cheesy_p: :stop: :peace:

can anyone tell me what the R/C cars packaging looks like?? Does it look like the others with the fresh cherries theme?
dirt track,
here is one i found on ebay also have a black one. I have not seen any rc around here.
Thank you very much Phils Toys, knowing that the packaging is the same, will make it alot easier. I guess I'm off to walmart again. Surely one of the 5 gazillion wally worlds in PA will have one. I also noticed that KB toys has the fresh cherries line, but the one I was in, only had the AMC stuff. Thanx again. I'll probably have to get 2 of them if i find them, I want to make one look like my dirt tracker. I was going to use one of the 1/24th scale ones but I think one that moves would be even more "shiney" :police:
Just got my rc car from wally world. Boy what fun it is. By mistake I ran it off the sidewalk & flipped it, but I don't care. I just bought it for the fun of it.
By the way... Any Ohio people... The Wal Mart located on East Waterloo in Canal Winchester is full of the die cast & rc cars. Get em while they last.
Well, I got mine today.. Was hoping to find a wagon, but I guess they don't exist. I will be using mine as an inspiration to keep working on mine. I know I have not posted in a while. But with building a house and working on my other projects it has been hard. Here are a couple pictures
well I havent had any luck yet, glad you found one. Im going to try my luck while im in carlisle at the show this weekend. Hit the local wally worlds down there.
Well, I must give yall a report:
There is NO Remote control Pinto's to be found in any Walmart in the entire Texas panhandle (which , I know is bigger than most states..LOL!) Each Walmart I walked out of, I was like... :ih8u: :mad: :nocool:
But...there are ALOT of the 1/24 scale cars, at least 10 in each store I've been in. ALL are red w/ white top. I bought ONE, sold it, now going to buy more. If any one else is interested just drop me a line here or at: lilbluechevyluv4x4@yahoo.com, thats my main email address.
I will slightly over charge what Wally wants for these cars because I do have to wrap the box in paper pay the shipping costs and....
That gold called gasoline.... :nocool:
to get to the P.O. and back, ya know.
:drunk:
There are a couple of R/C Pintos at my local WM if someone needs one I will help out. I just want the price I pay plus shipping.
Tercin
I finally got my R/C Pinto!!!!!! :fastcar:
I gave 25 bucks for it at the carlisle show, I figured the xtra five was worth me not having to run around every walmart in the area hoping to finally find one.
I ran a set of batteries dead already chasing the cat around the house. :devil:
Just picked up a couple of the 1:64 JL's the other day. May go back to see if they've restocked. Gold seems to be the only color...
Seems that may be a feature, not a bug. Both of mine are upside down as well!
I picked up a johnny lightning pinto the other day. I also picked up the pacers and gremlins in three colors each. I have yet to find other colors for the pintos and mustang II's
krazi
Anyone else wanting a RC Pinto let me know as my Walmart has several in the red and black colors.
Hey guys, I am in Mexico and my Walmart doesn't have any of these Fresh Cherries cars. If any of you are willing to send them to Mexico I would appreciate it. I can pay with Paypal if you have an account with them. Please let me know at mason@fat2.net .
Thanks
Update: We have 6 Walmart stores here and they are all stocked full to the brim with racks and racks of the 1/64 scale pinto's in most every color. There's also a few 1/24 scale models but only available in red w/ white top. NO RC cars at all.
If anyone in USA is interested just drop me a line and I'll work with you on this.
ok..
I went to 2 walmart stores today and NO PINTO CARS!
WAHHH!!! :what:
I want one to put in my car...
If anyone is willing to pick me up one I can paypal or send a money order....

i just happen to have ONE Blue 1/65 Pinto for sale ;D
I bought one of those "F.C." Pintos from Wal-Mart. I was initially interested in this "One Bad Ride" 64scale CHEVROLET S10 4X4 Heavy Duty, but as if some kind of force drew me in... as Madden would say... "BOOM!", there was these 64scale Pintos staring me right in the face, almost to say "Buy me". I wembled over the S10 or the Pinto for a few, and ultimately bought the Pinto. And now seeing you guys talkin` 'bout them, I feel I have to buy a few more. I DO really want to find the 24scale Pintos. I also want to find any replicas of the AMC Pacer. My grandmother had one and aside the transmission going out, I loved that car too. The "Bubbletop" cab forward design, the giant doors (My grandmother's favorite feature as well)... and so on. It was white with a graphics of a rose on the bonnet (Hood)...
Anyway, back on topic here, I think I will round up some more of those toy Pintos.
P.S. My first ever car I owned was a 1975 Ford Pinto. It was so rusted that every time I slammed the doors shut, parts of the bodywork fell off. But I loved that car more than life itself.
check out the new model kit also expect to see a larger RC they had the pacer and gremlin in 1/32 scale RC for about $50. the model kit was $10 see pictures
more pictures the gray one is listed as customize your self. the parts picture is not that great but i hope you get the idea.
Man, just when i thought it was safe to go back into walmart. These motormax people really want my paychecks.
I wanta model car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 of em, hell 500 i have so many ideas. now i wont be able to sleep at night again. im going to have to build a new shelf just for the pinto toys ive got. the cats all hate me since i picked up the remote control one. Oh well. I can find new cats anywhere, but the pinto stuff is hard to find. :D
We need to start sending motormax letters every week demanding a station wagon version. and suggest that the wagon version of the model comes with optional cruising wagon accessories.
My brain just locked up for 5 minutes. "lowered version, 4x4 version, street rod version, stock version, tubbed version, etc etc." someone hit me over the head make it stop make it stop.
Gotta get them to include the Squire option as well. Now with the models out, I will not have to cut up a die-cast ( 1/24th scale on clearence for 2.oo at Walmart) to get the parts I need to build my wagon
A Pinto, Turbo Coupe, and some kind of car model with good wheels & tires would make for an interesting combination.

I'm assuming that each color (all 2 of them) are a different frequency, right?
The local walmart finally had 1 black one in, so I snagged it. Yes, my cat hates me! }:->
They also had the diy 1/24th primer model.
I WANT A STATION WAGON!!
Someone send this thread to Motormax. We want more Pinto goodness!
FINALLY GOT MY 2 1/64 FRESH CHERRIES PINTOS BACK FROM THE BODY SHOP, NOW THEY ARE MED. JADE 1978 PINTO GREEN CODE 7W. I REASSEMBLED THEM, BUT NOT UNTIL THE INTERIORS WERE PAINTED DARK GREEN W/WHITE INSERTS. THEY LOOK PRETTY COOL, EVEN IF THEY ARE A LITTLE OLDER MODEL THAN MY REAL ONE. :swirl: :swirl: :swirl: :swirl: :lol:
I found a primered model, i need to get a couple more, i'll have to wait til they restock.
Has anyone seen the engine models they have? They are made by revell, so far I have only seen the Ford 427 SOHC, the 327 fuel injected chevy, and the 350 chevy street rod motor. I bought the 427, it is really cool, there was over 100 pieces some of it goes together with screws some of it needs glued. If anyone gets one use superglue to put it together cause half the pieces are plastic and half are diecast. I dont know what the difference is between the platings on this model and regular model cars but it was a pain in the butt to scrape the coatings off to make the glue stick better. The detail was very good, and so was the quality.
Got my model last weekend...woo-hoo! Take`s me back 40 year`s...now I have the patience to build `em...but not the steady hand`s!!! :rolleye:
I found a few radio controlled pintos at walmart last night. They have red and black, i bought one of each and they still have some on the shelf. E mail me at foxbody@pa.net if interested.
Are any of these cars in Canada?
I have a few but got them off e bay

Hey Phill,
COOL!
I will have to look for those NEW colors.
I guess FOMOGO is saying they are showing up in the CLEARANCE ISLE????
From Pintony
Nope... on the shelf with all the other toys... just a misspricing in the computer I think... The shelf said $9.98 on the diecasts... and $1988 on the RC cars. :D
I call it good luck for me... ;)
Jim
i got one of the hotwheels sized cars it was an ugly green i looked for orange but there wasnt one
they also had a big remote control car but i didnt have enough on me for the bigger of small toys lol
when i was looking at the back i noticed on the card that it had this site wrote on it i was like holy crap im on there (i was thinking wow am i retarted soon after) lol
yeahi bought and played with a red remote controlled car, i noticed it out of the corner of my eyes, and my girlfriend saw how huge my eyeballs got, and the "boy with a b.b. gun at christmas" look in my face. the thing is friggin slow, and i noticed the walmart i went to alson had AMC gremlins, and Pacers. and they had them in small, not so small, and FRIGGIN HUGE! and all they had in the pintos was not so small. :wow:
My local Wal-Mart have those Fresh Cherries Pintos in red and white on sale for $3. I picked one up for a Christmas present but I believe they had about ten left. I am in Virginia Beach.
they got a remote control pinto too
Has anyone asked FC if they were going to produce the larger RC car....I have to have a few if they do...I did buy the little RC's and yes they are slow, but man they are kewl....I might have to ask the Kids for batteries for christmas..LOL

Hello Bill,
Who makes the wagons>>>
From Pintony
PINTONY
THEY ARE FRESS CHERRIES FROM MORTOR MAX. THEY WERE $1.97
AND COME IN A NICE DISPLAY CASE. THEY ARE FASTENED AT THE
BASE WITH A NEAT LITTLE PLASTIC TAB, AS TO MAKE IT EASY TO
FASTEN BACK ON TO THE BASE WHEN I'M DONE PLAYING (DROOLING)
WITH IT. THESE ARE REALLY NICE. A MUST HAVE!!!!
BILL

Dave

:amazed: Hey Phil,

I stand corrected... :amazed:
blink77
Thanks for posting the pic.
I ran to wallyworld after your first post and did not find any.
Are they the same size as a hot wheel?
Dave
DAVE
THESE 1:87 SCALE. THEY ARE ONLY 2 INCHES LONG. OTHER THAN THE GAS
FILLER IN THE WRONG SPOT, THE DETAIL IS INCREDIBLY ACCURATE. NOW,
IF THEY WOULD MAKE ONE OF EVERY PINTO IN, LET'S SAY 1:24 SCALE. IT WOULD
SEEM THAT SOMEONE AT MOTOR-MAX DOES HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR OUR
FAVORITE LITTLE CAR. IT WOULD BE REALLY NEAT IF THEY WOULD RELEASE
THESE IN THE ORIGINAL PAINT SCHEME. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO SHOPPING.
BILL
Now my brother realy likes me . He just supprised me with one of each of the waagons. He said he was the first one in in the case. First the rock now the cars. :hypno: :drunk: chears to brothers.
