    New JL Maverick

    Picked up 2 of these at ToysRUs yesterday, one has the slotted wheels and the other has whitewall tires and regular 71 hubcaps.

    Didn't notice the difference at first was just looking to see which one looked better and noticed the difference in the wheels. I see these on Ebay (both kinds) and they have the orange/ red one as well (going for 24.99 at the moment!) I don't know about that much for one though. Maybe the color is limited I have not seen one of these so far in the stores.

    The orange one is a "White Lightning." Those are limited production and very hard to find. Most go anywhere from $25 to $40 each. I paid $35 for one and figured it was a reasonable price.

    I just picked up 3 of the Green 70's cars at Toys-R-Us. One of them has white wall tires.

    They might look correct, however, they were not available until 73, so they would make them incorrect for the 71 in the package. I know, I know I am just being picky!

    There were actually two different Sprints...had different interiors but unfortunately neither of them had the Sprint colors in the interior.
    But like you said, they are all very nice cars.
