Walgreens Regals
My wife actually has worked for Walgreens for over 20 years. We have one of their main Midwest warehouses in Mt Vernon about 40 miles from us. (and not far from you GN RICK) Someone may have more connections but generally when they order they can only order the Motormax cars from that series. They can't actually order particular ones or specifically the Regals. I have found as many as 5 Regals at one store and then been to stores when there are not any to be found. I have bought approxamatly 8 of them so far and sold most all on E Bay or members of this board. For the last couple of months only Walgreens has carried any at all and they are always just the SWEET CHERRIES BLACK T TYPE. Toys R Us carried the FRESH CHERRIES GREY T TYPE. Now the past couple weeks or so they both have showed up at Wal Marts. Initially these cars were produced a while back(a year or more) by MOTORMAX and sold in 4 car sets in 4 different colors. You can still buy the sets from diecast vendors online. My feeling is the ones that are showing up now are leftovers and packaged under the FRESH and SWEET Cherries series that has been out for some time just to get rid of them. If you notice they never show the Regals on the back of the packages as they do the other cars from the series. Also MOTORMAX does not list them on their website at all! Most all of this mentioned before in these threads. Its been a great year for GN and Turbo Regal diecasts. These releases from Motormax. 5 or 6 differrent cars from Hot Wheels in three different series. JADA with the 1/18 scale scarface car. And Johnny Lightning with the different releases and now the awesome Calander Girl :biggrin: (I mean Car). I probably have forgot a couple too!
