I'd say the local scalper will grab all that come here, if any.. So they'll more than likely be a guaranteed sellout.

That is the dumbest test I have ever heard of. Of course one box will sell out.
A true test would be stocking 10 cases and see how many sell. That way the scalper factor gets eliminated. Then they can gauge how well they will sell.

The scalpers will buy all 10 cases because it's a new and HOT ITEM, then in a couple of weeks, return any cars that they didn't sell.

Did anyone find these??? A few stores up here got them but I was working and couldnt get there in time to get anything! I guess we were right about the scalpers. I managed to get an empty greenlight box--thats all! Its up for trade.

I'll check out K-Mart tomorrow. Since My local TRU stores went out of business, it's my only hope to find GL's at retail.

THEERRRRRRRE HEEEEEEERRRREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Picked up a whole box for $4.38 each, Including tax! So for basicly $50 Bucks I have the whole set! Found at a K-mart in Chattanooga Tennessee! I will sell or trade some of them on our sale board, but I just could not pass up on the chance to pick up the whole 12 car set at once!

I really only wanted the Mustangs, but the 70 1/2' Camaro and the Blue Chevy (both from the stock version) look GREAT! These are better looking than the first run! Should I look for any one a car in other Marts? Let me know.

Same here. My local K is not even showing a hint of any GLs. No biggie though. Got 2 cases on order anyway.

So-far,Zilch here.

Seeing how they stock regular K-Mart diecast items,does "Sears Essentials" qualify as a K-Mart?

I stopped by the big K today....I found one GL Impala hanging on the pegs with the HW Ultra Hots.

Wow im hoping my store will get them someday.....I guess the GL gods are mad at me for spilling the beans!

Found my second store with a nice GL selection. They had 10 of the 12 car case hanging on the hook. It look so good to see them in a retail market. I hope they do great! I did'ent buy any today, as I picked up a case yesterday.

NYSWLHUNTER
08-15-2006, 11:55 PM
Well they will do well if all of us continue to buy them! The store trigger is 0 so buy them all and trade if you have to so they can get more in faster! -Trigger(verb)-a specific amount of items "on hand " in kmart to be reached before more can be ordered. i.e. GL's trigger is 0 that means kmart has to have 0 cars before the computer will automatically reorder. heres a tip hotwheels trigger is 50, johnny lightning trigger is 12. So if you see any hidden items remember kmart will not reorder until they are sold! OR if you know someone........

One store in the area got one case yesterday. 8 other stores, nada.

I'm set though, got all the Mustangs in the series, really love the detail and look. VERY NICE! No Green machines, but didn't expect to see one actually at 2% of the run.

Thanks for the heads up.........

I stopped by the big K tonight to pick up some sandwich bags and as always had to make a pass by the diecast section in search of bwf JL or HW. To my surprise I saw 2 greenlights on the pegs and really to my surprise I saw the stock and custom impala GREEN MACHINE. I don't know how this was one of only two left on pegs but, I am glad my first greenlight is a green machine and it is sweet.

Checked Cromwell yesterday. They said they never got any of them and I saw no evidence (marked pegs) to dispute that. I'll try the Milford store but I don't expect much luck there.

I saw the pegs labled GL but no product,as of yet.
Aparrently,there are multiple toy pallets in the stockroom,waiting for pricing.
(Christmas) shelf stocking has started,so it shouldn't be long.

I have been to K-mart every other day for the last 2 weeks. They still have empty pegs, without labels, so I'm guessing they haven't gotten them in yet. However, I walked into TRU yesterday after work and all 12 cars were hanging on 2 pegs. I started doing the dance, not the WL dance but similar. Got all 6 stocks. Not a single green machine in the group. So no GM dance. I guess the west coast trial worked pretty good. They were $3.99 each. Cool cars. The first I've seen.

Here's a pic of the Green Machine that I found at K-MART 2 weeks ago.

My local TRU got them in this week too! No Green Machine at TRU.

Local hobby stores in my area got them also, but they are $7.00 a pop.
