Seems almost like there is one 1/24th WL per box. They are showing up in mass. The Cudas are going for only $25 on e-bay. That's like finding 1/64th WL on e-bay for $6. The Camaro is doing the best because it's a Camaro with white tires. The Mustang has white tires but seems do be doing only $35-$40...like finding a 1/64th WL on e-bay for $10. Actually those two are a great buy at those after market prices. Had the Camaro not had white tires it would have done less. Waiting for the 70 T/A to arrive. I think I'll pass on the regular and use the $13-$14 for the WL.

he somewhat does have a point .... but this 1/24s follow the same rules as the 1/64s right .... some of them have white interiors .... but a white interior by itself does not mean is a WL ....

Yea......actually it's just a rare error. I'm wondering if the base is a screw together. Most of the larger scales are. If so, someone could spray paint the interior.

Congrats on the finds. There's going to be some wicked stampedes each morning until they finally get the JLs around here!

I like the offerings from JL on these 1:24 scale cars..these are made by ERTL I presume...so I would guess the quality is about the same as the !:18 scale Ertl..can anyone who has them give any insight on the detail and quality.?

...I haven't seen any in Canada as yet..hope they come here too.
...buying from EB.. means hefty shipping per car..
...Great finds AJCBOSS..!

Thanks guys!
They're not quite the detail of a 1/18 but pretty good for $13.
Tampo's seem to be on straight and the engine compartment
and interior have some decent detail.

I really like my 1:24th Mach 1. It looks great from the outside and has amazing detail, but I generally don't collect larger scale cars. I might have to take some pictures later.

On a side note, I saw a '70 Boss 302 1:18th scale JL today at the hobby shop. Looked pretty sweet. I think the only regular 1:18th JL I plan on buying in this new series is the '67 Mustang that should be coming out later. Yeah, late 60's mustangs!!

Well I've been going to the local Target every day since I've heard they are arriving.
Paid off for me. Stopped in around 3PM and there right out in front was a 1969 Mustang white tire /base WL. There was also 11 carded WL's hanging. I guess someone took the WL but left the 1:24 Mustang WL.
It's great that I found the Mustang.... only I bought one for $40 on Ebay last week.
Soooooo now I have one FT I guess.

Marty
