I dont think they made their way to New England yet? I've been to 4 different TRU this week, nothing. I never saw the last round of 10 car boxes either.

Left class eaely today to go swing by the TRU over by school, nothing still. Went to another TRU not too far away and there they were. Saw all three sets. I even found my first wild white today, the 71 Olds 442, actually I found two. I got a weird stare from the lady that walked by me as I was dancing around. Wooohooo :thumbsup: Still havent seen any Big Boats though

I got the Firebirds from the Pony Power 2 & GM Muscle. (Yellow 68 & black 70/71 whatever it is) $2 each plus bought a few more custom wheel birds from the guy. {Thanks edseldave!!!!!} Beats paying $20 to get it. The Pony Power 1 yellow one (78) in the five pack is on the way. $2 + $1 shipping on e-bay. Beats paying $10 for it.

I know the feeling. I just checked today to see that my TRU got in another set of 2-packs, but no new 10-car sets... :rolleyes: And I could get them in the store too, if it wasn't for those darn licensing restrictions...

after you posted this I went and they had no jl`s but they did have that ertl pro stock come in.I couldn`t open it though because the local scalper started an argument.

I saw 2 of these I think, but is this the one with the black and white zebra-kinda stripes accross the back, and accross the fastback part? it's a pretty ugly paint scheme...:drunk:

Seen all three ten car sets in TRU Carle Place Friday afternoon. All looked real nice, they were on the top of the little kiosk. I left them behind, spent a ton of money on my 1/1 scale project this weekend!

MyTRU finally put out some cars. They should have been pulled on Thursday night to stock on Friday morning. But they pulled them on Friday night when I was there late. They had 1 case of the tru ex mopar no car & 1 case of classic plastic (I already had those). My real find was a case of ertl Pro Stock, 2 1968 mustangs & 2 Dusters, all were 1 of 1600.I am keeping a mustang & duster, the rest go to my sons who collect.

Grabbed one of each set today. Nice cars- and three new castings for me: '05 Mustang, '67 Nova, and '59 Impala.

By the way- I love the 1965 Mercury Cougar convertible...

I may have gotten more cars today, but I'd say you had the better shopping experience. :thumbsup:

Picked up the GM Muscle set yesterday. Passed on the Working Class Trucks set. Only 4 in that set that I would keep. '59 Impala & '67 Nova are nice castings. Would rather see a stock hood on the Nova, but the L79 air cleaner is really cool. Stock rims on both would have also been a big plus! :confused:

The GM Muscle box set lists a '69 Impala convertible. Was this casting scrubbed at the last minute and replaced with the 'Vette ? :confused: ? or is it just an error on the box?

It also says it's a "twelve car set" on the back of the box. The Pony Power set lists the '69 Cougar as a '65.

It also says it's a "twelve car set" on the back of the box. The Pony Power set lists the '69 Cougar as a '65.Considering the first year for the Cougar was 1967. Maybe there was a 1965 prototype. :D

Welcome to the board. Check out your TOYSRUs on Erie Blvd first..higher volume store. Also ask in bikes/boys for them to check in computer..SIS or intrant. I used to work in Syracuse Thought I'd help a fellow collector.GARY They should have the 2pks.

Found all three box sets today, but only got the GM and Pony Power. Not enough I wanted in the Working Class to warrant getting it.
