Isn't there a number on the cases that contain white lightnings that is different then the cases without?

I thought that they were randomly inserted, but I don't know the official percentage from PM.

I guess there were no WLs in F&F.

you have to look at the number on the master case to tell if it has a WL. but I do not know the number you are looking for, Im sure someone knows it here

This is the way to tell if there are WL's in your 12 car slot case:

T-Jets:

Series 1 - these were in 12 car cases, no master cases. The number on the case needs to be greater than 2500.

Series 2 - not sure if there was a way to tell with series 2 or not.

Series 3 & 4 - depending on where they were in the master case determines whether or not they had a WL. Each master case contained 6 inner cases of 12, 3 of the inners had WL's.

Series 5, 6 & 7 - There is a Roman numeral on the side of each 12 car inner case. The Roman numeral not only tells you if there was a WL, but which one it is. Roman numeral I is no WL, II, III and IV (for relases that had 3 WL's) are WL cases.

Bowtie Brigade - No Roman numeral, but there is a letter code on each inner indicating if there is a WL, and which one it is. Codes are A, B, C and D. A is no WL.

X-Tracs:

Series 1 - uses the same Roman numeral codes as T-Jets 5, 6 and 7 (see above)

Fast & Furious 1 & 2 - no WL's.

Mopar Muscle - uses the same letter code as Bowtie Brigade (see above)

As an example:
I have a box of series R6 and it has a Roman numeral III on the box.
The WL is a Cuda...

Opened it and 12 cars - No White Lightning. Now don't get me wrong - I bought the set for the twelve cars, But I got a little bummed when I opened the case expecting a Whitey. Oh well, It's all about the trip anyway.

Sounds like you got hosed, if it was factory sealed... Either that, or that's the first case I've heard of where that's happened...

for his wonderful dad :wave:

Neither had a White Lightning. Of course if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. :confused:

Hey Pickdad... I thought it was just me... :D I didn't know anything about the different case markings but I do know that there was only one layer of box tape on the ones that I got. NO W/L's in any of them...

Going out later today to get me some good luck charms... :thumbsup:

We could be called "Unlucky Lightning Losers" or the ULL for short. :cry:
