they did use models sometime, but most of the time they used real cars...

know it's an old subject by now, but i went to the walmart here at my college, and boom...they had one sitting right in front. I took it home and began the body painting process...don't know if they hae more, if so, i'll probably try to ****** a few. I've done the firebird thing off ebay also, bought about two of them, one was larger, like 1/18 scale, and was a 1982, the other was an GTA in 1/24.

Nope. Every single store is supposed to have the exact same stuff. Now, there are some things that change, but they try to make it as uniform as possible. But for model cars though, they just say "ship model cars here." and they dont pay attention to what kind. Just whatever batch of cars from that brand they have laying in a warehouse. Heck, they even try to make all the store layouts similar.


I used to work there.
