Hi all. Did my grocery shopping this morning and look what I found for $9 USD? A nice big rig with the supermarket logo on it. Pretty good for superhero and zombie games, or any game in which you need a big rig. This thing is 17" from tip to tip. It says 1/38th scale, which might be a little big… But just to show, I lined up some 28mm-ish figures for scale. L-R, Heroclix, RAFM USX Modern Day Heroes, and Wargames Factory Zombie Vixen. Not too bad! Best of all, the cab separates from the trailer. The trailer has some fold-down legs and the back doors open, too. The trailer is a little over 11" on its own if you want to use it without the cab, as scenery or an objective, perhaps. Not bad for 9 bucks. Three guesses which grocery store I patronize?

Neat!

Score! Real question is at that price, maybe you should have got more?

I thought about it, McWong. Figured I could always just paint over the trailer and make a generic truck…or maybe get a couple more of these and use them as a truck depot.

both excellent ideas

Take the wheels and legs off the trailer, and you have a shipping container. So you might want some more…

Trailer park?

Looks good with those figs. Nice score.

Cool and the trailer detaches so you could get a few more and convert them.
