Lightning girls promotion...worth it?

[triple20]

First off I would like to say...DuckieD and her Lightning Girls have done an outstanding top notch job at providing the service they were hired to do.

My question is...Do you think RC2 has seen a return on their promotional investment with the concept of the Lightning Girls?

I wouldn't think so. The Calendar cars didn't even hit in the States, and came to Canada on clearance.

The Nomads were good at first, but only to those getting a red shot when they got a case.(By the way, do you need 1 or 6 of them? I can hook you up!)

I'd say probably, The Calender girl cars are next to Impossisble to find, and American Beauties sold very well despite the fact that 2 of the cars didn't match the pics (pet peeve, sorry.).
Those ARE the Lightning Girls right?

Wow, I need all of the Calender cars, and 3 or 4 of that Maverick.

If you can give me one at a good price, you can hook me up with one at Auto Fest. Thanks

No, he has a school bus yellow Aztek

I don't know...I would say they wouldn't have sold 100 of the nomads without the free red test shot... I know I was not going to buy one until they made that deal.

As for the other series, they seemed to work out ok for both sides I think

Thanks Paul, I owe you one. That was a bad year for us and all things that are Fest.

Hey Ron,

Hot cars and even hotter girls are a classic combination but not for the Wal-Mart/Target market. JL would get a decent return on the concept with Hobby-only and limited edition (custom orders) as they are mainly the 'adult collectible' institutions. I know if I were to ever order a custom as a business promo I'd rather have a Lightning Girl poster with it than a collector card.

Actually PM did Playmate cars... but they left any mention of PM or JL off of them, they felt it was not what they wanted to be known for I think.

RC2 had no such moral dilemmas
