I've never seen any at TRU. I thought Wally and Rite-Aid were the only ones who carried them

Wal-mart is dropping the 1/24th line. Only to carry the 1/64th according to one district manager. They don't move them very well in our area at all.

I have 3 TRU in my area. They each got a case of 4 in.
That was about 3 weeks ago. Made the rounds today and
out of 12 1/24 cars just one of them has sold. So they are
not jumping off the shelves.

Yes, I agree that at $20, it will be hard to sell. I went to the same TRU 2 different weeks and got the same 1/24 WLs. The Silver Thunderbolt white tires/tom zarsky written on tires. I was reluctant to get 2nd WL, but what the hell. The remaining 6 from the assortment are still sitting on shelves.

I wonder if it's just me or are the 1/24ths less skillfully produced than their 1/64th scale cars? Lots of flaws. At any rate, Wal Marts around here closed 'em out at $5.00 a copy. Bought a stack of Superbirds.

Over the past couple of years I have found more flaws on 1/64th's.

We have them at the Apponaug Hobby Shop in Rhode Island for $15.09-$17.16. We can't compete with Wal Mart but carry all the assortments. www.hobbyri.com

My local Wally is doing a remodel. They just finished the toy dept. and there is a space for the 1/24. They have moved their existing stock there and the price, which was $11.00 on clearance, is back to $14.88.

Looks like they will continue to carry them.
