Just a minor nitpick, but I think on the 24-piece set, the image is not accurate.  It shows an extra tractor in place of the extra VW bus.  On the web page for the product, one of the image shows the set correctly, and the other shows it wrong.

 

Otherwise, all of these are great.  I especially like the 24-piece set for the larger variety of industrial vehicles.

Yep, wife and I spotted these yesterday at Menards.  However they were all jumbled together into a large cardboard box.  We found a PRR end loader, and a car.  Would have gotten a Des Moines ambulance but was the newer "boxy" style of 70 to now,  not older Cadillac hearse style of 50-60 of my layout era.

Matt,

 

I didn't take Jon's comment as a complaint. It's obvious the ATV's and motorcycles are oversized but we aren't tying to fool anyone here.

Mark, Jon and I are pretty good friends, just giving him a friendly ribbing. I really like some of the stuff you guys put out and I really like the fact that Menards is bringing the hobby to a wider array of people. Keep it up Mark. I just wish I didnt already have all the buildings

Dear Mr. Menard,

 

I stopped at my local Menard's store today (Sioux City, IA) and was told NO! The models are NOT in the store and it would be 1 to 2 weeks before the stuff was here. 

 

What's the official word vs. a store merchandisers word? And she called me "honey" twicw which I hate.

Dick,

 

The majority of our stores have these die cast cars in a bin located in the aisle between the hardware and seasonal departments and towards the front of the store. I will have to double check if that is the case for Sioux City or not. These cars are also being marketed as toys (blasphemy ) and that is more than likely where the confusion came from.
