DID I Miss the " Sweet Cherries "memo at Toys R us??

I was shopping for the kids for Christmas last night just randomly looking at the Die Cast, llok down Bronze '71 Comet by Motor Max but called Sweet Cherries... AT Toys R Us!!

Did I miss this? did anyone else know about this?

 

I have NEVER, repeat NEVER seen one in person. Heard a lot and seen 'em online, but never in person.
The only Fresh Cherries I've ever held were either Pintos or Gremlins.

 

Sure did they have been out about 3 weeks in my area. A friend in the office who collects hotwheels found them and called me to see if I wanted him to pick them up for me you bet I do. now I have a nice collection.

That is the 1:24 size, isn't it? I picked one up a month or so ago. And a yellow 1:24 maverick to go with it.

 

Yep, can't believe the detail, anyone know if I can get put the 74 maverick bumper on the 71 Comet ?

 

I was thinking of the other way around...somehow straightening the small comet bumper and putting it on the mav...

 

My car is a 74 so big bumper conversion is what I would like to do

 

i got the sweet cherry 74 white maverick at tru it rang up as a promo

 

you can also get the 1:24 comet in an american graffity box

 

I picked up 2 of the 4 71 Fresh Cherries at Walmart today
1:24 scale Model
Both were silver, but they had 2 primer ones left.
They did have black but were out.

Are these the same cars your talking about?

 

Picked up A Yellow Maverick "Fresh Cherries" 1:24 at Walley World and then went over to TRU and picked up a "Sweet Cherries" Blue Comet. Maybe its got something to do with location or something.

Are the 2 cars identical and made by the same people?
