**jerry moss** · 11-13-2007, 10:51 PM

sorry i don't have a picture. i just found it today at wallyworld, it's silver with a white top,69 blazer, working class R8 series. they only had one or i would have bought all of them. just thought you collectors would like the "heads up" for another one to look out for.

**special-K** · 11-14-2007, 07:06 AM

You and me both.I was amazed to actually find one at my Walmart.It was at the back of the last peg before walking away.

bouncytruck · 11-14-2007, 11:20 AM

I've seen them on ebay, but never in the stores. I did find one of the green ones in a store once. I bought a yellow one and the white ranger one on ebay. My dad found one of the coke models at wallyworld in Coos Bay and gave it to me. So I have 4 total.

weasel29gm · 11-14-2007, 11:51 AM

I'm in Wal-mart 6 days a week, always look 2-3 times for 'em. Almost every one I have came from there. When a new one comes out I'll wait till I find it at W/M. I'm not payin' 3-4 times what there worth.

dave2953 · 11-14-2007, 12:13 PM

I found mine at Toy R Us. It has been the best source of the diecasts for me. I found the blazer in question there and some of of the High Profile Cheyennes, too. Wal-Mart is hit and miss for me.

The old time vs money thing,I guess.

I picked up a yellow one with a white top back in June or July. I wonder how many colors they used? ...Joe

Here is a new treasure hunt truck.

ChaseDale3and8 · 11-14-2007, 06:42 PM

I'll post up a picture of the one that I have as soon as I get my computer up and running again. I'm running a virus scan on it right now and am using the wife's laptop. Hers doesn't have the software on it to do my pictures. I'll try to post up the pic later tonight or in the morning. ...Joe

ChaseDale3and8 · 11-15-2007, 02:54 PM

OOOPS! Thought mine had a white top. Turns out it has NO top!

Too many diecasts in my collection to remember them all! Here it is anyway. ...Joe

72Levi · 11-15-2007, 07:44 PM

Hey Chasedale you want to trade the yellow one for a Green, Red, or Silver JL Blazer. I have been looking for a yellow one. Or anyone else?

sick69 · 11-15-2007, 11:12 PM

I found one of the silver blazers at Target tonight. I guess it's time to try and find the rest of the Johnny Lightning blazers.

Anyone have a pic of all the Johnny Lightning blazers in one place? At least then i'll know how many I have to find.

Frank

5150 · 11-15-2007, 11:39 PM

I got one for my little girl at Toys R Us. Going to give it to her at Christmas. She's lost the red and the yellow blazers already. I can't find them anywhere. Maybe I should keep this one for myself.

1Ton · 11-16-2007, 09:55 AM

My brother got me the green one Release 34 for my B-Day.

Thanks anyway, but I think I'll keep my yellow one. I'll look for a yellow one for you around here if you want though. They have a way of turning up at flea markets at times. If I find one, I'll post it here to let you know.

You guys need to check your local Wal-Mart for this: they have came out with the "Dazed And Confused" black 1972 Chevrolet truck in 1/24 scale. Don't know how much they are, because I couldn't find a price. Stumbled across it this morning while looking for another yellow Blazer. They have several "movie" cars, including "Tommy Boy", and "Smokey And The Bandit". This was how I stumbled on the truck.

Since the others were available in 1/64 as well, I'll assume that the truck is too. I just didn't see one in the Wal-Mart that I stopped at this morning. I'll check the others around here this weekend. Just thought that 'd give ya all a heads up in case you want to buy one. ...Joe

Andy4639 · 11-17-2007, 07:44 PM

I have a couple of the green blazer's I'll sale or trade for. OOP's not suppose to sale on here. Sorry!
