I think it's called Your Dollar Store with More. It may be a Canadian thing. www.dollarstore.ca

I've never seen any of them in our dollar stores and I've been in most of them in my city.

I was frankly shocked to find them. I had to pick up four. Yesterday I picked up a few Matchbox vehicles for my 1940s game. I'm going to tidy them up and get them game ready once this Kickstarter finishes.

I game with green and tan plastic Army Men figures, and vehicles. For my Tanks, I only painted the bits that differed from the plastic's color, then I applied Minwax Polyshades Royal Walnut, a dark brown colored stain-varnish (aka, The Dip) -- apply a matte clear coat to dull them down. I then applied peel-n-stick vinyl numbers on the turrets. They turned out quite good, I thought. Your tank models (toys) have decent paint jobs, but a bit of dirt, and shading (aka, The Dip), would do very nicely, I think. Just a friendly suggestion. Cheers!

I agree with SgtSlag. Painting the bits and giving them a wash or 'The Dip' should make them complete. The factory paint looks pretty good.

I've seen a pack of about 4 inch tall army men (4 to a pack) at the Dollar Tree. Was tempted to try to hack them into some kind of giants, but didn't pick them up that day.
