Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

I got mine in the mail today. Handed one to my son before he took his nap, the other is going to stay in the package for a while. The banner is a cool touch, just wish it was a little larger (easier to read).

Just picked up a few. I hope to have a cool "car room" some day to display the shitload of diecast cars I've accumulated over the years!! :rotf:

I even have some of the early Peachstate 1:18 Turbo Regals (GNs) that have been in boxes for many years. :(

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Don't waste your time driving around to all the Walmarts in the U.S. Order them online and have them delivered to your mailbox. The shipping costs will be less than time/gas spent searching in futility at local stores. Been there, done that. :squint:

Until now, I wasn't wasting my time. Most of my JL collection came from the local walmarts. I may have ordered one or two online. Online is usually a waste also because all of the vultures on here snatch up any and everything syty related within hours.

"Hey guys...milezone has 50 left."


"I just bought 16."

"I just bought 10"

"I just bought 2. Only two left."

One hour later: "man, milezone is out of stock. :rant:"

**** that too. lol Read the JL thread. You'll see.

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

its seems that every time i go to mileszone they are not available. I see them but cant click add to cart. I'm assuming out of stock but would be nice if it said that. Now i'm wondering if the site has issues.

Where do you guys buy them from on line? Local stores by me are a waste of time never found one in years.

"Hello everyone. Wondering if someone would sell me one of your extra ___/___ (color) JL Tys".

I usually only buy 3 at a time but others on here might have extras to sell. :dunno:

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

I agree that often the JL sell out very quickly, it can be very frustrating. The last batch of white/white was not like that. However, I have been able to get all of my JL Ty online retailers/eBay and not over pay.

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Our local Walmarts seem to have given up on JL. Toys R Us still carries them, but I've bought the majority of mine lately online.

Finally picked up two R18 at Walmart. I think they went up in price. $3.47! I seem to recall they were $2 or $2.50 at Walmart before.

I just got my 3 white 93 ty's in the mail. Can't go wrong for under $10.00 for all 3. You can't find them up in Canada so had to shop around.
