I found a complete set of lightning rods R2, plus a dukes R4 road runner zinger WL This was the first WL I've found on the pegs in 7 years...and though I don't collect a lot of chase cars as a rule, it was quite a thrill to actually find one after all these years

Here is my haul from BL's.![]() Was stoked about finding this one, as it is one I didn't have in my Cyclone collection. ![]() Not real crazy about the "skittles" wheels on this one, so I may swap them out. ![]() They had quite a large selection which really surprised me. No whites(not a big deal as I don't collect them) and there was even a coupla of Zingers there. . Prices were pretty good to I thought considering these are some of J/L's better castings. Only 3 bucks a pop. EH |

Would love to have found one of those white mustangs. Nice scores all around. Ernest, that Tasca stang is sweet. I ordered one from an OLD back when they first came out, but would've snagged one or two extra if my BLs had them. And chase car finds aside, I'm just glad some people are able to find some cars that were never really made available at retail in most areas. Some of it, I don't think hit retail at all. It's a real shame when you see the reactions from folks who are finding both regular issues and chase cars on the pegs again, then think about the oportunity LC passed up by not playing straight with this line all along. |

I only stopped at 1 BL and they had plenty of them. Interesting note here that should be considered by those that can't find them in their BL; the BL that I went into did not have them in their toy section. They were not on pegs, they were placed on a shelf with other non-toy stuff, far from the toy section. |

I checked out my BLs again today. Thought I would see if the cars were picked over. They were, but not as badly as I expected. I asked the store manager if the four headers were his only stock. He said they were. So not exactly a huge selection, but more JL than I've seen in over a year. Afterward, I made my way over to TRU, where I was just a couple of minutes too late to actually be able to go through a couple of unopened cases of HWs. The guy that got there ahead of me, pulled out a car very quickly and scrambled off. I have a suspicion by the way he acted that I missed finding my first TH. Still, that was the closest I've ever come to one in the wild All this excitement lately actually got me a bit buzzed for the hunt...something I haven't felt in a very long time
