Gramps46 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I like bargains, especially when they are 1/24 scale. The other day I went to Michaels to pick up a framing order for my wife and decided I would check out the 5 Below store next door where everything is $5 or less. And surprise, they had $5 Bentley Continental GT V8 in 1/24 scale!! Way cool! Got home and did a little sleuthing and these are made in plastic and distributed by Braha Industries. If you don't have a $5 Below in your neighborhood there are plenty on eBay along with different colo(u)rs, a Corvette, Hummer H2, pickups and others.

Anglia105E Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Looks pretty good for $5, Gary..... and in 1:24 too. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Is that r/c? Google search turns this up. http://www.brahaindustries.com/SkyDrones_Cars_124.html and these are r/c cars. Or this is just an extra few bucks they can make? Looks good anyway. A little snakefu.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I bought says it is exclusive for 5 Below and is not R/C but it is a friction toy with a shallow interior. I already have the Corvette. I think I will go back today and buy the Hummer H2 just because it is cheap and I am foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Well now I'm gonna have to go to my stupid 5 Below this weekend. You guys are keeping me broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 We don't have 5 below here. Plus it's all too new for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I've got one or two of the R/C versions (no external antenna!), and am always on the lookout for more by this manufacturer. The Bentley has a decent if shallow interior, and the Porsche 918 is better detailed than most model kits - the 918 is almost indistinguishable from a model. Nice cars, almost always under $15, and available at Tuesday Morning, Ross, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and the like. Sometimes you will see the friction cars, too.

djflyer Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Rastar does the same thing - r/c and non r/c plastic bodies in 24th scale. I have their Ferrari FF and Range Rover Evoque Edited October 16, 2019 by djflyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 I went back and picked up a Hummer H2, hey, I have drug store pickups and SUVs so might as well have a Hummer H2 also. I was surprised several had sold since yesterday. I also checked Tuesday Morning and TJ Max as Jim suggested and where Lamborghinis seem to be popular for $9.99 but did not get any. We are approaching the holiday season and I have picked up some of these bargain models even at Aldi grocery stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
