Thanks Tom! Got the hearse and ambo and they're both great!

[Abnorml]

I got lucky and have find all but the NHAA ambulance so far. I was really surprised that I found the Lensey hearse. I usually don't find anything like this in stores. Check Big Lots for the Ecto-1. I find a couple in the toy section then saw another display and found a couple more.
I would love it if JL would make a 73 hearse, in a light blue. I think the newest is 66 that I have seen any company make.

The one thing I HATE about my area is how long it takes the stores here to get any die casts. It took forever for the Hot Wheels ectos to appear. Im still looking for the NHAA JL but nothing yet. I may just have to start watching ebay. I do hope that JL moves to some of the newer Caddy Hearses like the 80's cars. As far as I know none exist.

Two Saturdays worth of loot.

Tom, I must throw congrats your way for what appears to be a successful release. 2 of 3 TRU in the area received 2.0 JL4 cars within the last couple weeks and they're *all* sold already.

Been driving a distance to the furthest remaining TRU twice a week waiting for them to hit. With 2.0 JL still on the peg, I didn't know what would turn up really... Last Sat, nothing. Today - only 2 Galaxies remain from the JL4 box. Impressive!

One Wal-Mart had twelve of the new gold and white Matchbox ambulances......they don't now!

[Boogeyman Con Carne]

Five Wal-Marts turned up two of the NHAA ambulances this weekend!

Damn... Still nothing around here (8 walmarts within 15 minute drive)

Tom Z, can you let us know if additional Release 4 cases will come in next or if this will be a one time deal, with Release 5 upcoming? Thank you again for everything.

Strongly advise poking in TRU and checking now though for those looking.[/QUOTE]

This is a one time run.

Finally hitting TRU. UPC #036881515814. These are the cards to look for:



Note black card, 2.0 series, and JL4 in upper right corner. If you see black 2.0 series that are JL1, JL2, etc. ask an associate to check stock. Some stores can find out if/when more product is coming in, others can not (or the person simply doesn't know how/hasn't proper authority).

Assume for now there are 2 per case. Also, they are $3 more than the ambulance version is @ Walmart.

And there is the much anticipated NHAA packaging! Thank you for the link.

Looks like the ambulance with the NHAA logo is starting to hit Ebay now. Here is a white lightning version. 1957-Chevy-AMBULANCE-WHITE-LIGHTNING

Well im on the left coast close to san fran, and if i know what to look for and where and when to expect them to come out, i dont mind looking and even buying a few for others. i have no intrest in them myself, and not looking to make money on them either. i just like helping out, and know what its like trying to find things.

[TZLightning]

Tom, I have NEVER seen 2.0 cars in Walmarts around the Dallas Tx area. It would appear that there will be no retail finds for me on this... Thanks for trying...

The JL2.0 is only at Toys R Us and Hobby stores.
