I am from California and can practically feel the mid western energy radiating from this picture. I also have no clue what the fuck a Menards is but ill hazard a guess that it is either a Minnesota or Wisconsin thing.
Save big money at Menards, but not on Menards…
^…save ^big ^money– Gaa! That jingle will never leave me. Damn you, midwest!
You’d have to be the saddest, weirdest kind of model train building person ever.
You mean, John Menard?
Is it just me or is that absolute garbage quality for the price?
It’s prebuilt and handmade, hence the price. Making it cheaper - molds and better plastic in them would never pay for itself. It’s a large model so either a huge injection molder, or one wall at a time. Add to it the fact that probably between 30 - 50k needs to be spent per mold (one for a single wall) Add in time for the dude to supervise the machine. Etc etc. Shit would add up. For this, an artist probably makes them, assembles them en masse, could probably use low volume techniques. It’ll be more expensive, but you can put 2 - 3 in each shop, not many people would buy them anyway and it gets free marketing (as we can see in this post). Depending on the time it takes to make one, the dude could easily be making $50 an hour doing that.
Plays the Menards “Save Big Money” Jingle
I’ll just go get my flamethrower.
Highly detailed, hand sculpted Jack the

Home Depot and Lowe’s are selling similar things this year. The depot actually had one for Halloween and one for Christmas, perfect to add to you Christmas village!

this is funny as shit, it’d fit right in with the obvious plant mockups
Is there an 11%rebate?
There’s always an 11% rebate.
Looks like it’s built to model railroading “O” scale.
EDIT: Oh, duh. It says so right in your picture. I guess if you want the sweet authenticity that only product placement can buy, this is your set.
To spend almost $140 on a Menards model for your model railroad, you either want some sort of very accurate representation of somewhere that has a Menards or you are way too big a fan of Menards.
Also, pretty much everyone I’ve known into model railroads is into HO scale, so who is even going to buy this?
I’ve never lived in a state with a Menards, and I’m still a big fan. Menards is worthy of some fandom.

Sounds like some of them nerds need to go big or fuckin’ go home!
There is at least one Menards with a railroad siding, or at least was 20 years ago when I lived in the area. (oakdale mn) I undrestand some deliveries came via rail to that store and them by truck to the rest of
And inside is another tiny Menards, it’s Menards all the way down
You can’t save big money in a nanoscale Menards.
I need a Kwik Trip version of this
I’d prefer a Culver’s.
I vaguely want one for diorama purposes with my MST3k Funko Pops.
It’s a playtime of savings, at Menard’s!
And a Giant Spider Invasion of savings!
