fastest moving JL product

with the peg warmer thread I decided to start this one.
The holiday classics are by far the fastest JL product I`ve ever seen sell.A case of these are usually gone within 3-5 days[except for the tucker]
I believe they could double production of these and still sell great.

That's not what happened around here, several of them hung for a couple of weeks at least.

The first year of Holiday cars went real quick, and seemed to be impossible to get after the initial launch. But the following years, at least around here, they seemed to hang around forever.
Before this year, the Muscle Cars always seemed to go fast, and the Classic Gold didn't do bad, either. However, now it seems like everything is just sitting there. I have to believe that breaking the $4.00 mark has a lot to do with that.

I would say the VW's have moved the fastest(outside the General Lee cars).

Gadzooks N' Egads!!

I'd say that American Beauties were the fastest moving cars that
were sold off of the pegs . . . Although, I might add, we didn't see
much of this series on the shelves of our local stores.

Just about anything that gets put on the pegs. The only cars I see lingering at this point in time are the Torino and Mustang from the first PP release.

Around here, VW's, Muscle cars, HOW and Holiday Muscle move out of here fairly quickly. Every now and then there are a few peg warmers but most of the cars disappear rather quickly.

THe HHR is still hanging along with the 1995 Caprice.
Everything else has disappeared.

The General Lee is probably the fastest seller that I've noticed.

Definitely, that and Herbie. With all the comments on the prices, they seem to be moving anyway. The lower production runs are a big reason for this. That and it also seems like they've figured out you don't send 10 cases of the same release to one store.

Hard to say what is moving best - as Mike said, they aren't putting out as much, so I have no idea what is there. I saw my first 4 Wicked Wagons this week - may have been out already, no clue. Never saw the Dukes of Hazzard series until this week either.

Looks like the Wicked Wagons are going to fly. From the Dukes, I'll say it is Roscoe's Police cruiser that you will be hard-pressed to find on the pegs.

Really???? I was there yesterday around 6pm. Saw the orange tow truck (w/ black wheels) and the Cargo truck (w/ silver wheels). No Dukes stuff. I did snag the aqua AMX from Retro.
