I saw these at my local HEB (God's supermarket for you yankees). $24 USD each. The second picture has a quarter for scale reference. Looks like I am playing the Waiting for Christmas discounting game early.

In Waco. Up front with their Christmas decorations. |

Extra credit if you know what HEB stands for without Googling!! |

I know, I know. I was a kid in high school working as a stocker when they finally started selling alcohol. Talk about a world turned upside down. |

Those do look nice. Thrown for a loop for a moment, and thought the bug hit here too. Was expecting racks of apples, pears, etc.. |

I envy you. We get Central Market, but no HEB in DFW. |

I think that I would be buying up now just in case they sell out. |

They look rather shallow; more like a facade than a true model. |

wonder if those might be a Michael's or Hobby Lobby? Yes they appear a bit shallow but that might not be a hindrance. Yes, they have a South Western look but with a different paint scheme they could pass for Russian or Spanish. |

If they are too shallow, you could easily add a bit on to the back. A fancy facade with a plain building attached is completely in keeping with architecture in the Southwest. |

Not too bad, particularly if they ever go on clearance. Would work fine as simple facades, or backdrops for photos if you don't do a lot of work to create buildings out of them. |
