Sarge's Surplus Hut Building from Cars

Man, that looks great, I wondered why I hadn't seen one on a layout yet!

That's the only Sarge-related licensed thing I don't own yet. I own a real WW2 Jeep, so I collect everything Sarge-related:

This isn’t all of it, I have added to the collection since this shot. Note the photo of the character in the background, that was signed by the voice actor for the character in the films.

And I so badly want to get to Disneyland to see this in person someday:

My 5 year old would love to see that on my layout. He is a big fan of lightning McQueen.

 I went there a couple of years ago when I was in Anaheim for the Star Wars Celebration. 

Spent the whole day just in cars land. It is actually a shop you can buy things in.

Great accessory. "Now drop and give me 20 miles"

Does it play the morning "Reveille"?

I have not looked at the Menards site yet, but are there more buildings available?

Or is this the first in a series?

This is not available from Menards. It is a Mattel product, I got mine from Amazon, but I see that Toys R Us has it also.

Sorry about that. I had it my head that this was a Menards item.

Thanks for the heads up on where to look.

Online they do but I've not even heard of a retail store that has them.

My problem is I can't put that on my layout and I have no room to display it elsewhere.

Going to buy one anyway, though as I can't not get that.

MILNYC; How does it fit in scale wise, really does look sharp and you did a great job working into the layout.

It is a good fit for O scale. The overall size of the base is 10" X 12". Without the sign, the hut is 9" X 6" and 3&1/2" high.

That looks awesome on your layout! Cool idea.

You have to get there with your 5 year old. We visited cars land in March and our 7 and 3 year went bonkers seeing it...so did I!!!
