Motor Max 1/24th spotted at local Wal-mart ( Pinto )

[Jerry Casper <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

 I made a round of some of the "local" Wal-marts
today, hitting 3 of them. At one, I found the 1/24th
scale Motor Max Fresh Cherries series, they had 12
cars out, all Ford Pintos. Green with white top, and
brown with white top. So, that seems to answer the
question about where the Motor Max 1/24th Gremlins
will show up. <grin> The boxes were light green and
yellow, with a background red cherry. Not the blue and
yellow boxes of their usual cars. 
 Found no JL Gremlins, still all the old JL series up,
I guess they're not selling, and they're not pulling
and restocking fresh stuff. Only really fresh stuff by
JL is Eye Candy series ( Toys R Us ), something like
that, with some nice women on the cardstock, and
various car models. Nothing I want. Camaro, Hemi Cuda,
GTO, etc. 
  So, guess I'll be waiting for the old stuff to sell
first, before they'll restock. Target has plenty of
empty JL pegs, or almost, and still they haven't
restocked. Sheesh. Sad. Oh well. 
 Anticipating the arrival of the "big" Gremlins, may
be another month or so, depending on Pinto sales, I
guess. Rep said end of April, Wal-mart is getting them
out quicker, so maybe the Gremlins will come sooner,
too. I'll keep my eyes open.
