Hey Folks,
I posted this on Lightning Lane, about the "White Lightnings" in the Creepsters series. There has been a few questions regarding this series, so I wanted to get the correct info. Here's a copy of the post, for those of you interested......

OK folks, since there seems to be a little bit of confusion on the possible White Lightnings in the Creepsters Series, I decided to give our friends at Playing Mantis a call......

The information that I just received, is that there are NO White Lightnings in this series...... I was told though, that the "GRAY" bodied Creepsters, ARE "CHASE VEHICLES"....The reason they are calling them Chase Vehicles, is that they are over 10% of the production run. Just from the conversation I had, I'm assuming that they are quite a bit over the 10%.

So, it looks like we don't have any TRUE White Lightnings in this series, but we do still have a Chase Vehicle to chase after.......

Hope this helps.........

...and the bottom drops out of the Creepsters "WL" (AKA Chase Vehicle) value as we speak.

J/K. Thanks for the info mental man...

Thanks for the info. Man chase vehicles in a kids toy line, is there a green stripe and Treasure Chest on the package?

It wouldn't make sense to have White Lightnings in a non-Johnny Lightning series. :devil:

Hmmmmmmm. A couple ways to look at this. Is this future training for WL hunting, if so, I'm not into it? If it is above 10% so kids have a fair shot at getting a chase car (and they do know what they are, don't kid yourself) then that is great especially since the scalpers and speculators may leave them alone due to the fact they are "kinda" common.

If it is a way to replicate variation interest like HW's I'm not keen on that either. I hope the base reason is to draw interest in them and give everybody a shot at getting both versions with a little effort. Anything more than that and I may have to pass.

I play games in my head with them where the grey ones are the Zombie Faction. :jest:

Has anybody at PM tried these on the Gravity track yet? If so, what were the results?

In my experiece, the do respond to gravity. They tend to drop to the floor quite quickly.

Somehow I've always had the impression that White Lightnings were 1% of the run. Is 10% now the accepted number?
