    Snagged a 1:24 die cast stallion at wally world today. I had almost given up hope until i saw a small cache of fresh cherries on the bottom shelf. clearing away all the "duke boys" orange chargers- there it was in a ll it's black and red glory. The last one. I took it out of the box for a second after i got it home, but I can't bring myself to undo the rubber bands and the plastic plate to actually remove it. It'll probably stay in there, too until I have a backup. I'm weird that way. Btw I noticed something disturbing while searching the aisles. My wal- mart no longer stocks models- honest to goodness little tiny pieces to glue together models!!! What a rip!! A big part of my childhood was putting together models with my dad and uncles. I hope they were just sold out and not gone for good. Oh, well. The light of my new toy outshines all darkness.

    I recently found one also. I havn't taken the bands off of mine either. I looked for models and they have none at the wal mart here either. Seems we were in the same mindset for a spell...

    Just got in from another wal mart, no models.
    Partner showed up and cleaned his mess... he even moved his stuff out to the other room. Now I have my own office :clap:...

    I kept trying to do it but Yahoo is all messed up. I cant send myself pics anymore for some reason. I have no other way of getting them into my pc unless I send them directly to someones phone or email.

    Is the black and silver one sold on its own like the red one or is it only with the truck? I really want to get my hands on a black/silver one!
