    there was one on ebay the other day. i couldn't figure out why it was about $12 when the others were about $4. supposedly it was not as common as the others because it had a white interior.:)

    I checked at our local Walmart today and they still don't have the Maverick. I think who ever orders the toy stock must be a Ch**y guy.:16suspect

    Three for me...two from eBay and one from Wal-mart. Not gonna buy any more from eBay since they're starting to show up locally. Wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to pay the shipping.

    FYI .. just picked up 2 today at Toys 'R Us if anybody is looking for any ... $3.29 each ... incredibly it is licensed by Ford Motor Company ... and Ford didn't notice that JL has the year incorrect.

    No Chevy guys at our local Wal-Marts because I can't even find the little Vegas (Sorry, I like them). No Mavericks here at all, and I've checked everywhere! The Johnny Lightning stock at all of the stores here are pretty well picked through. I'm starting to wonder if someone's grabbing them all to sell on Ebay :mad:.

    I bought a couple of JL Mavericks and a Gremlin off ebay a couple of weeks ago from the same vendor, $16.00 for all three with the shipping. I checked with a local diecast dealer here and he is going to order several of each for me, $4.50 each. I'm sure other dealer would do the same. He said he couldn't order them individually but had to buy the whole release. I have never had any luck with Wal-Mart, Toys-R-Us or target around here. They stock very little and it's usually Chevy or imports.
