Several weeks back I had alittle free time before going to work and stopped in a closeout store called Fallas. Its been dead diecast wise at any of the discount or closeout stores lately and did not expect to find these. The only one I left behind was the Fire Station but I might go back and get it this weekend. I just wished they had the Hospitol and the fast food joint but I can't complain on the ones I did get. I am not to crazy for the base of the dioramas because its made for a single car to pass through. Later down the road I might grind down the tabs underneath to put the actual buildings on bigger property.

Agreed...I'd be happy to buy a couple of those gas and police stations off of you if they have more.

We have a small chain of stores out here called Fallas Paredas...I wonder if they're connected in any way.

Same here- but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The gas station is my favorite here....at least part of which is because of the prices.

Yes, they are the same outfit. I think they just shortened the name. They are also called Factory 2 U in some places. Thats what they were called before going to Fallas Paredas.

I see what I can do. I don't hardly get the chance to hunt in my old neighborhood much. I have been wanting to go back and get the Firestation. Hopefully my trip to my Mom's might get the time I need if my car does not start acting up again.

Funny that you said that. I thought the same thing when I first saw it. Hey Sean, I like the gas prices too. I wish they were like that again.

i'm sure they also have an airport setup as well. how easy is it to get rid of the flight deck from the police station?

Well, the control tower looking thing fits in a slot in the roof. It can come off and on with no fuss. I will try to take pics of it tomorrow,
