Nov 2012: I went to Toys R Us today and discovered this new Garage by Fastlane. It comes mostly pre-assembled and I just needed to add the ramps. It has a gray base, blue tinted windows, white walls and a red roof. There is a red lift inside that moves up and down and there are sliding doors on each side of the garage.
The footprint of the garage is about 12 inches long by 8 inches wide by 4 inches high. Other accessories include a pickup truck, gas pumps, signage, lego style ramps for each door opening, and stickers and instructions for assembly. I plan on repurposing the garage and making it a car dealership for diorama table. Pictured above, you can see how some Matchbox and Johnny Lightnings scale in size to the garage. I plan to make some of my own signage and add some lighting on the interior which I will review in a future posting.
While I was in Toys R Us, I checked out the Tomica selection and there were a few buildings for sale including a gas station and dealership, however I noticed that the Tomica dealership was more than double the price of the Fastlane and had a much smaller footprint. I definitely think this Fastlane garage is pretty good value.
Grateful for sharing this post
