I did have it out, Looking at it. I will have to buy a dupe of it, to display it in the glass display case. But I've got about 6 more different ones to buy from that company. They usually go for around 100 bucks apiece. They come with a numbered certificate too, but I forgot the number. George

That is one nice looking Bird George! With those kind of prices they should offer free shipping. I agree with more pictures. I love pictures!

Ha! I really don't know. I just find them on places like ebay and other diecast sights. On ebay, I type in Lane in the diecast section, or Exact Detail. They have tons of Mustangs and Camaros. About 15 different Firebirds, including some Christmas Cars that are given out to the workers for the company. Only way we normals can own them, is find someone buying them! If you look in my Tour thru Trans Am Motorsports tread, look at the 1/18th Lane in the boxes. The Green box is one of two different Firebirds that I was able to get. If I find a website, I'll post it up. George

I forgot to say, That last night at Wal Mart, I scored 3 of the new Johnny Lightning 40 years 1967 Firebird, white with the blue racing stripe. That was a good score, since my Wal Mart only gets one box in at a time. No White Lightnings though. George

That is a good find. My walmarts I go to on a regular basis is lucky to get one case of JL every 2 to three months. Most of the time the pegs stay empty. Hopefully with Christmas is around the corner they will keep the diecast area fully stocked. One can wish can't they.

My Wal Mart, And the next closest one, told me that they will no longer carry the 1/24th scale Johnny Lightning cars. Man, what a bummer! I have to drive out to the big cities, like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or Phoenix. Unless I go back to Daytona Beach. George

My wife don't say anything anymore. She just give that look and says take Jacob with you. Jacob is my 18 month son and he loves going to the car section. I'm training that boy right.

That is a bummer. I remember this old fashon toy store I used to got to. I would drive about an hour to a hour and a half to get there and they always had a huge selection of the coolest diecast, from matchbox up to 1/18 to nascar. Thats where I got most of my 1/24th cars and all of my 1/18th cars. One day I drove all of the way out just to find the store closed and totally cleared out, They closed up about 2 years ago, and I was soooo bummed out that day.

Oh, They do. Import cars. Ha! I got bummed out when Wal Mart stopped carring plastic models. And then the 1/18th scale Ultimate Soldier airplanes and tanks and figures. George

I found another cool find today. They only had one, and I drove around abit today, looking for the green '67 Firebird, and another one like I pictured above, as a dupe. No luck. At least I found this one. ;D George
