***BREAKING TIME SENSITIVE NEWS***
JL Release 15 has finally started showing up at Walmarts in various parts of the US within the last 2 days. As of this writing, there are none even available 2nd hand via eBay or toy sites yet. Again, 1 '57 Chevy hearse per case of 12; one case and done. These will NOT hang on pegs long (if at all, given feedback already) - best bet is to try and snag one as they come in. So if you want this version, try one of these options and do not delay:
1. Stop @ a Walmart and look, pronto. If R15 isn't on pegs, have an associate scan the UPC of remaining cars. They all have the same UPC. 12/24/36 can be either On Order (more than a week out), Warehouse (3/- days), In Transit (usually same day, sometimes next), or In Store (might be box in back not yet on floor).
2. Call Walmart corporate 800-WALMART and have store stock checked in your radius, use this UPC:
Have them run 036881 502982, then 36881 50298 (sometimes dropping end numbers works better). This method isn't as reliable as checking in store (counts can be off, no UPC difference between release series, can't tell what is coming in) but does save time/gas.
Don't cry later if you miss out!

I am an avid collector of diecast hearses, but have not hunted for any cars in the last 2 months. If you don't get it when they are in stores, just wait a bit. The gottahaveit's will get theirs and the price will come down on Ebay...
Thank you Atti for the heads up. Went to Walmart and the JL rack was full. It has had the same few cars on the rack for a couple of months now, so I didn't expect to find any and found 3.
