I, know it's not VANAGON related but is VW and bus related so that's close enough ! I found a 1/33 scale model Samba at the Bay (Hudson's Bay Department Store for you non-Canucks) yesterday for $2.99 ! It's the same as the one on the cover of the new Volkswagen Camper & Commercial mag I was speaking of yesterday. What a coincidence. Just cruising through the Bay yesterday and in a pile of model cars displayed in the aisle I was cruisein' down there was this nice red Samba. Whoa ! Stop and have a look see. Say's RUFF N' TUFF Power Racer made by Maisto with pull back action, same as the models featured in issue 5 of VWC&C. Surprise ! So I look around and it's the only one. Take it to the counter 'cauz I just gotta have it and the S.O is freakin' and the salesmiss rings it up at $2.99 ! It's on sale to boot ! Well, that's about $.50 in US dollars so what a bargain ! Lucky me ! Now if I can just find a real life size Tristar for the same kinda bargain price I'll be havin' a Merry Christmas.
