    MINI GT 40' Containers

    I recently saw some listings for MINI GT 40' containers.

    Coming March 2020

    They're a bit expensive at approx $24 - $25

    Does anyone know if anyone else makes containers, 40' and/or 20'?

    They look nicely done, but at them prices you'd almost think you'd get the truck along with it.

      Yes, the prices are a bit high for an empty container. The least they could do is fill them with some cargo. Maybe cases of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Greenlight.....

        Not a bad idea Michael, maybe if they gave you scaled pallets stacked with cases, and a scaled small forklift or pallet jack, we could create a nice little diorama … I remember during the Christmas season the TRU near me would always have a number of large containers dropped in the side parking lot, guess it allowed much of the holiday stock to be right on hand to restock the shelves.

          I thought i saw some of those on e-bay, but for around $15-20?... even then i can't see it, although i have gotten some tonkin intermodal boxes over the years- both with trailer chassis and in truck/trailer combos:

          At least traffic is moving smoothly out of the port... for once. It doesn't look too good going in the other direction.

          Once in awhile 3000 toys had them on clearance, but i haven't seen any lately.

            Thanks Phil. I have seen some DCP containers on Ebay for around $25. I'll have to look into the Tonkin. And I guess to do it right, I should look for some chassis/trailers too.

              i really like the tonkins- it's just a solid heavy metal box- with appropriate markings. the chassis are a little "ertl-ie" (i made that word up) compared to DCP/ First Gear, but you can't really see the undercarriage anyway.
