Sounds like a great haul :thumbsup:
Not a Bad Weekend for Collecting
Not bad at all. I found 7 brand new Lightnings at WalMart yesterday: Classic Gold Futura (2) and Eldorado, Pony Power Mustang and Javelin, Retro Talladega and Muscle Cars 1967 442. Then today I went to the Motorsports show in Atlantic City, and picked up 4 more: Working Class 55 Ford Panel, 50 Suburban, 66 CJ-5 and a Gold Series Boss 429. The cars today were only $4.00 a piece, which is real good for a show like that. In both places there were more new Lightnings to choose from, but I figured I had spent enough on Lightnings for one weekend. Besides, while at the A.C. show I also picked up a GMP Swamp Rat III (replaced one I broke) and three 70 car display cases. I wanted more, but I could only carry so many to the train station.

Now there's a nice boost for your collection! :thumbsup: Looks like you had a great weekend!
I saw a guy with two boxes of older Lightnings, but I didn't see any whites. Of course, I went on Sunday, so somebody else must have snatched them up before I got there. In the past, I've always gone with my boss on Friday afternoon. As of January 1, I have a new boss, so I didn't figure I could just get up and leave at 10:00 am to go toy collecting.
Anyway, I bought the Lightnings and the display cases from a guy from New York. He had a bunch of large scale die cast, the plexiglass cases, and a couple of rows of brand new Lightnings.
