Bart,
The white interior is a third (and forth?)
version. It is the 'White Lightning'
ultra-rarity that is slipped in every so
often. So, if fact, there are likely
four variations (ignoring 'mistake'
cars):
Red interior with RWL tires
Red interior with blackwalls
White interior with RWL tires
White interior with
blackwalls
Good luck ever finding the white interior
in the pegs. If you 'must' have it,
expect to pay $50+ for it now, and no less
than $30 for it after the first six
months....when it pops up on
eBay.
The red-interior versions are only hard to
get now because JL isn't shipping
huge quantities so that every store gets
them. But eventually, they will get
there. Impatience will cost $5-$10 each
plus shipping on eBay, or you kick
back and eventually they'll be in the
store and $3-4.
My local Wal-Mart finally got some, as
this morning I grabbed one of each
red interior version (the only two there-
had there been more, I'd have grabbed
a second pair for myself, then any
additionals I'd have offered to any group
members that want them (because I didn't
learn my lesson after grabbing
two extra T-shirts that everyone wanted
'til I found them, and then those
folks vanished). Like the T-shirts, if
nobody actually wants them when I *do*
find more, but just wants to whine, then the extras I do grab will end up
on
eBay so I'm not stuck with them, and the whiners will have more to
whine
about.
Otherwise, just kick back. They'll get to
your store sooner or later.
Looking at the ones I just grabbed, I am
very impresed with the detail and
accuracy of proportions this time around.
It's an even beter casting than the
Hornet hatchback. Oh, how I wish they'd go back and
let the sculptor of the
Gremlin redo the humpster Javelin
offering. Done by the same guy, it'd be
far more accurate and
beautiful.
I also grabbed a Vega hatchback, Maverick
Grabber and a Buick Grand
National. I love the obscure models being
added to the line, especially
with such striking detail and accuracy.
Great stuff.
