Just wondering (and I hate to be critical) - what's the deal with this series?? I would be happy to bet one of my very few WL's that I could put together 5 complete sets of this series in about 3 hours without going more than 20 minutes from my front door. I've never seen anything collect dust like these cars. Was this just a massive over-production on the series, or was it total disinterest from the collectors?
You are absolutely correct.
And you probably could do the same thing with the Spiderman series.
I think that a lot, and I do mean a lot of these series were sent to all the Walmarts in Canada. Along with tons of Import Heat, Volkswagen series 1, 50th anniversary Corvette, and Monopoly. In September I visited a bunch of Walmarts in various locations and found lots of JL as previously mentioned.
Very few Zingers, just the Import Heat ones from various releases that obviously, no one wants. No muscle cars or Classic Gold to be found in any of the stores. Canada seems to be a dumping ground for JL junk that no one else wants or buys.
Cheers. Cobra
