Keep an eye out on The Toy Peddler then. Frequently cheaper than eBay and good for finding many different procar toys.

Got a couple of them a while ago off of eBay...

You know this has to be chapping the asses of some people in some other, more professional club...... not mentioning any club names or anything....just saying.

The Johnny Lightnings around here on the pegs are like a year old. I think they hold this stuff back in the stockroom until the pegs are cleared. Same with Matchbox. I've been tempted to grab the 20 Matchbox "Lesney Editions" (mostly Jaguars and Land Cruisers) that have been on the pegs at Wal-Mart since Christmas and throw them behind the puzzles or something, just to see if a new case would be put out...

Todd, if you're talking about hiding MB @ Walmart - probably won't work. Their system is auto-replenishing and goes off stock quantity, not what is visible. What DOES work is having an associate with a gun check all stock however off UPC. Then merchandise in back, on order, at warehouse, or in transit comes up. This is how I came up with both of my JL ambulances (2nd just this morning) - which enabled freeing the worse condition to shoot high res:



(1024x576 size constrained here. Right click & view image for more detail).

In regard to the MB you mentioned, it helps relaying something along these lines to an associate/toy manager: "There is room for an additional 10 cars on the pegs. 12 come to a box. I'll buy 3 and would much appreciate you help saving my repeated trips for this one item."

All the discussion made me interested in hitting the stores again this weekend. Still no JL but I did get lucky at wal-mart and found 3 of the blue and white lesney edition matchbox hearses, so I guess that is better than nothing.

I will keep looking till I find some, but so far.....
