"Cheap "15mm" friendly toy vehicles?" Topic

Looking for cheap chinese dollar-store type vehicles that are suitable for modern and near future or hard sci-fi games. More interested in ones that look like military vics, but civilian ones might work with a paint job and a gun on top!

I found a few by Kai Jal but they seem to be out of business – shame!

No luck at WalMart and the Dollar Tree or Dollar General US chains.

Any suggestions especially for a chain that still carries cheap toys would be welcome!

One person said they dried up with covid in favor of other cheap medical stuff, so that's a possibliity.

I used Hotwheels and Matchbox vehicles when I did 15mm. Some are too big, but most are pretty close.

I literally picked up a bunch today, that I'm likely not going to use. I think I've decided to go with 28mm. I've got seven vehicles, two tractor trailers and two helicopters (primed). Say $25.00 USD postpaid for the lot. Email me if interested.

I got some packs of tanks at the Dollerama, that will convert to 15mm sf nicely. They were packaged with a ship and some anti aircraft guns that don't scale but were still pretty cheap. Add a few gubbins and paint them up and they'll look just fine.

Search with different keywords on Aliexpress e-shops. Very cheap, good quality.

Your local model railroad club who is having a swap-meet, or other, should have lots of "stuff" for your needs.

Stick a representative figure in your pocket and wander down the toy aisle. There lots of die cast vehicles that will work.

Tried several searches, not getting anything.
what were your search terms?

Hmmm, ali express won't let me verify an account without giving them my phone number – there's no other option to verify an account, despite the obvious norm of getting a code via email.

Seems fishy to me! As I don't want to get constant phone calls and text messages about Asian smut, I think I'll have to pass.
