Dang it, I would like to check those Matchbox goodies out. However, I shall Never Never step foot inside a Wallmart.

Just read up on how they treat their workers, and how even if you don't work there, your life is being negatively impated by their greedy ways.

Low cost now, pay up big later. Ahh, just Korporate AmeriKa at it's finest...

Hi volks

While shopping at Wallmart for gifts for children this week-end, I came upon a Matchbox microbus, scale 1:58. It's white with the sides in blue.

For those interrested, it was in a Matchbox vertical packaging of 5 or 6 cars. There was the Mercedes Smart and Porsche Boxter in there, don't remember the others.

I do appreciate the new microbus, but looking at it, I personally think that the new microbus looks more like a Toyota Previa than the classic vw split bus from the sixties. VW should work a little bit more on it's nostagia...
