I haven't seen any JLs at my WM in months...and they started out getting a random case of the 40th cars now and then. But now, forget about it. It's dry. |

Hot stuff

Congrats on your scores! Two at once, I havent done that in quite a while As for your thread title, I must admit, I have NO love for WM! I have never had much of any luck finding even a regular T-Hunt there. The ones around here are scalped heavily, (I suspect sometimes by employees) and other than HWs, don't stock much in the way of collectible diecast. |

I guess it was just timing, I found these 2 at 4:30 in the afternoon, and 4 fire eater hunts in a shipper at 10:30am, both in different stores I know are scalped. Not everything gets into scalpers hands. I've actually had more luck in walmart than anywhere else this year, thus the title. |

The only place I've seen any Johnnies lately is at TRU... Very, very, few at Wal-Marts... I love the Suburban, but don't like the wheels on the Mustang at all !!! |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Nice finds, and it seems even harder to find as not all stores carry them! My Walmarts just jacked up the prices big time--- JL new series WAS 1.96, as of this past week---$3.00 53% increase! M2 castings WAS 4.99, as of this past week----$6.00 20% increase |

Yes, great scores! As for the Fire Eater TH, I still haven't found a TH on the pegs in a long time. But I took a case off of the WM Pallet and got a basic Fire Eater TH. I pegged the rest of the cars (kept a couple Deloreans and others) but I technically didn't peg the TH
