I am looking for some cheap plastic 1/100, 15mm plastic VW Beetles to use in some games. Any out there that you know of?

There are lots of die cast HO scale Beetles but not sure what you call "cheap." Most run around $10 USD

A couple (5+?) years ago Walmart had some 1:100 vehicles, I'sure I picked up a Bug or two

Model Power Minis are 1:87 but tend to run a little smallish and look good with 1/100 or 15mm figures. Lots of train stores carry them. They do the bug in several colors as well as a bug towing a mini camper.

Zoneofcontrol is right on. HO scale is going to be pretty common and they look great with blobby 15mm.

I bought a handful of WW2 15mm Beetles at one of the HMGS cons, don't remember who made them though.
