(05/01/18) Free Flatcar with BNSF Truck from Menards!

Make it any train item $19.99 and higher, then I’d call it a deal! Lol!

This flatcar appears to have die-cast trucks, so that along with the larger die-cast vehicle means it's probably an above-$19.99 item by itself, hence the elevated qualifying purchase.

Nope...This flatcar with truck is only $19.99.

This is starting to become too much of a BAD thing.

Just asking and correct me if I'm wrong, but getting a FREE flatcar with an order is bad ? 

If you ask me its a great deal! Who can use another flat car? You can always take the truck off and put it on the layout! Put a different load on it!

Ok Menards this will go great on my layout since I model BNSF. It has been 45 days since the last building release. I hope the next building will be released before this deal ends. 45 days is too long . I need to feed my Menards addiction!

Gramps is right... good catch!  The axles are popped out of the trucks in the pic.  Even more reason the offer should be $19.99 instead of $24.99! Lol!

Bob it's not the flat car it's the trucks they put on them.  Everything is modern so it's of no play value to me and I really don't need another flat car unless it's a military flat.  BTW I really don't want that series of flats - both trucks broken.  Great advertisement Menards.

Wild Mary I'm with you a 100%. The only time it benefited me was when 60's mustangs as a free item. 

Hey LOOK  !!    the picture has been fixed !!!   Getting back to the FREE flatcar, I myself think its a great idea especially  if you needed something else for your pike. I needed two new die cast pcs. for my construction site and got the free items.  So, do I need them.. no,, but what gifts they make to others who  don't have them and appreciate them when they arrive.. Do  other Manufactures give away free stuff like Menards ? NO... My thoughts for the day and  I hope I didn't upset anyone.. Bob...

The only thing I am upset about is not having the extra cash for the BNSF Trucks! LOL

I have been wanting to order the diecast shipping container lift, the freebe flatcar with pick-up gets me off the fence. The pick-up will be pulled from the flat and find itself on the layout. I have a couple of these low end flatcars and they look pretty good with pipe loads.
