NEW NEWS FOR
OCTOBER/NOVEMBER
There will be 16 Christmas cars available
in stores by the end of the month. The
16 cars consist of 4 cars with 4 different paint jobs. The 4 cars and their colors are: ’67 Camaro (red, white, blue and green), ’67
Dodge Charger (red, white, blue and green), Passion (red, white, silver, and
green) and the VW Bug (red, white, blue and green). Each store will have their own assortment of
cars and no store shipment will be the same.
Each different assortment will have one car that is specially colored
for that particular assortment. (That is
how you get 16 cars by finding that “extra” car color in each of the
stores!). They will be priced about $5
per car. Target will have the first
shipments and so far, from what I have heard, not all of their cases contain
the ’67 Camaro. You may have to search a
few stores to get the Camaros. Next the
Kmart stores then Toys R Us will get their shipments. Target will receive a second assortment that
is different from the first. If there
are any leftovers at Mattel, they will be sold through the HWC website. Stay tuned for more details.
Snap-On Tools is going to have 6 more cars
to make up a second series. The 6 cars
will be: ’57 Chevy (red), ’65 Ford
Mustang Convertible (white), ’69 Dodge Charger (white), and ’70 Plymouth
Barracuda Hardtop (red). The last 2
cars, I believe, come in a play set again like last time. They are:
Nissan Skyline and the Toyota Celica.
