HOLY HOT-WHEELS folks, Jamie MIGHT have just hit on the best idea yet... with a
slight twist...
Since our beloved S scale is so close to the size of most Hot-Wheels, Matchbox,
Johnny Lightning, etc. cars and trucks that nearly ALL nation-wide store chains
(Toys-R-Us, Wal*Mart, K-Mart, Target, etc, etc, etc) have been selling for
years, why not try to market the structures to these store chains as
ACCESSORIES for these well-established lines!? Sure, this would most likely
require that they be sold BUILT-UP, but that would only make most of the lazy
(lazy = non-model-building, RTR loving) folks in this scale only too happy
anyways! TEN to ONE says that these national chains, and even most Hot-Wheels,
JL, Matchbox, etc collectors have no idea that suitable structures even exist!
The ONLY problem I can see with this idea is... meeting production needs.
Could our suppliers handle the potential demand?

But you would have to sell them built up. Here's an even batter
idea. Build them. Paint them to represent Ontario in June (snow
covered). Then you could sell them to the Department 56 crowd!
