    surprise would be my first reaction! tonight we walk into the Walgreens drug store for a couple of things and in the toy isle hanging on a hook is a johnny lighting car...a 1971 maverick grabber, what are the chances?? I've looked for months to find these toys, so on to Walmart to get a few more things for my girl at college and we go down the toy isle...wam! we find 3 fresh cheeries...all 3 1970 mavericks, so we had to have em'!! needless to say that I was surprised and glad to finally find not only 1 but 4 total...well just thought I'd tell ya.:bananaman

    So has anybody found any colors other than yellow, red, & white? I have also seen the Pintos in 1/24 size by Fresh Cherries. We can only hope.

    I have 2 yellows that I am willing to let go to someone for COST + shipping. $2 each and what it cost to ship. Not trying to make a buck, just trying to spread the "wealth". They seem to be few and far between where I am too but I travel into NC every other weekend and sometimes I get lucky and find one.
