Ours had all of these, and 71 Demon, 68 Coronet convertible, Sod Buster pickup, 70 Buick Wildcat, 65 Chevelle AWB. It's strange that Walmart can get all these new release kits, but Hobby Lobby can't get any. It kind of makes their 40% off pretty worthless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not every Wal*Mart carried models, only the locations that have a proven track record of moving units in past years. Every time Wally tries to expand the selection to a broader base of stores they wind up supplying Ollie's with a truckload of "unsaleable" product - as seen earlier this year when the 2023 Christmas Displays were liquidated.

You are correct, the first number that came up was 486. from a 2011 article. My point is that Walmart has more buying power and bigger contracts with Round 2, even if the items do not sell, they are under contract to buy. And some reap the benefit of buying them later at blowout prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
