As you may know, most toys there usually go down in price the closer it gets to Christmas(usually 40% off a day or two before), but they also like to exclude Bruder & Ertl in those sales sometimes. They have so many toys packed in that store during their Christmas season, it's hard to see everything they have. I literally found a whole pallet full of the Ertl Big Farm Pete semis just randomly setting on the other side of the store. I'm getting that lowboy version if they go on sale.
Those Battat trucks look & sound very, very similar to Bruder. Awesome finds! I think my son has a Bruder truck with the crane that looks just about like the one in your pics. Looking forward to seeing more!
So...you talked me into going to Rural King yesterday (25 minutes away). It's all your fault. And holy cow, man... I could go broke in that place. They had an entire aisle - both sides - filled with the Bruder and Ertl stuff. If I had any excuse to bring home that Ertl lowboy and the covered (grain?) trailer version of the semi I would. Those things are so cool. I ended up grabbing the police Rubicon for my kids because that was my main Bruder item I've been trying to find this year and I didn't want to risk missing it while waiting for a sale. Those Rubicons have working steering wheels for crying out loud. I haven't seen features like that in ages. I am going to have to go back at sale time and see what else I can talk myself into buying.
For what it's worth, they also had some lower-end pickup trucks with horse trailers and a horse veterinarian van in roughly Joe scale. They aren't as well made and were a bit overpriced for that reason, so I left them on the shelf. I snapped a few crappy camera phone pictures but they turned out so badly I am not going to post them, but if they went to 40% off they could be worth picking up.
Here they are:
Horse vet van (just a LITTLE small for Joes, but it could work):
$34.98
Motor Mountain
(by Paradise Kids) toy truck with horse trailer and horse (for girls):
...can't find a stock image yet for this one yet...
$?? (no price tag on the shelf)
Imagination Adventure
"Outdoor Adventure" (by Treehouse Kids) toy truck with horse trailer and colt (for boys):
And they also had the RZR in a set with a truck and trailer (3 different color variations):
Last but not least, I have recently started seeing Joe-sized STEEL-bodied pickup trucks from the Maisto "Adventure Force" line (a Walmart brand line). This particular truck has lights and sounds and seems pretty well-built. Think back to the old Tonka pickups, only with lights and sounds. The ones I see are always a fairly dark blue truck so I don't know if there are any color variants or not. I can't find any stock pics of this one online either and I haven't taken any photos in person so far so I can't share anything else of substance yet. Suffice it to say, I already have two pickup trucks for the kids, and I regret not having this option to buy for them earlier. It's too late for me to bother with this one now, but I would be all over it if my kids didn't already have a couple of (inferior) Joe-scaled pickup trucks.
