Facebook user Daniel Mccloud has stumbled upon a toy display shelf by Diecast Galaxy with what appears to be licensed diecast vehicles from our beloved G.I. Joe brand.
The photo showcases a G.I. Joe V.A.M.P and a Cobra Stinger at a RoadRunner convenience store (Kingsport).
Other fans have spotted the same at various 7-Elevens and at Lowe’s retail.
While the scale is not indicated, we speculated that the vehicles are at a 1:32 scale. It is also worth noting the similarity with Jada’s offering but without the package and the additional figure.
Each vehicle is priced at $7.99.

Is that the hardware store Lowe's? I just wanna make sure there's no other similar named chain lol.

Huh... It looks like the same display I impulse-bought a Mail Jeep from at my local Lowes (my first car was a DJ5 Mail Jeep). If that's the case, the Jeep says it's 1:26 scale fwiw.
I don't have many die-cast vehicles laying around, but here's a shot of the Jeep with a Hot Wheels and a Dreadnok Ground Assault 4WD.
Maybe I'll run up the road to my local store...
-edit: None in my nearby Lowes, but based on the rest of the vehicles, "scale" works like Hot Wheels - everything is roughly the same size. For example, there was a VW Beetle and it was the same size as a Kenworth Semi-cab which was the same size as a Ford GT (pretty typical for these cheapo die-cast cars).

Saw these last week at my local (Phoenix, AZ) Walgreens among a bunch of similarly scaled die-cast cars.
