I don't get it. someone put stickers on a JL Ty and made a new card for it and now it's a collectible?

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Well I'm having as many probs getting a toy Ty as my real one. :rotf:

ebay sucks. Seller doesn't respond for 2 weeks then charges 3x shipping vs what I paid on another Ty after I lost patience with this loser. :tdown:

4.99 for the Ty and 26.99 for USPS PRiority shipping which is :bs: as the other one shipped for $9.95.

:rant:

That is correct. (and a pretty crappy card too)

Now that the die has been cast, expect more Ty limited run "collectibles".

Thee place mentioned before (troys toys?) sent two of them to me for 17.93 after shipping... im guessing if urr in the UK it would cost more to ship but it sounds better than your ebay hunt....

I guess. I have bought about 85% of my collection from them, so I'd figure I'd add to it!

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Just picked this off the JL site. Red/grey coming!!

"70 Plymouth Cuda
10/02/2009 04:56:00 PM
Just got back from setting up at the Dallas Toy Show and had lots of new releases and models waiting for my return. First, I got some revised test shots of the 70 Cuda. This is scheduled for the third release of the Forever 64 line. I also got in the tool model of the 1977 Dodge Monaco that looks spot on and the second assortment of release 2 in the Forever 64 line. That assortment includes a Black with Flames Malibu and Challenger, a pink AMX, Spoiler #16 and a red/silver Typhoon. Oh, and an Allison Nova race car. Hope to post some pics next week. Have a nice weekend!

You've made 3 posts total, and confused me on 2 of them (haven't looked for your third either). Is there actually a point you are trying to make?

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

I ordered some from troystoysinc.com and got them in a few days. I quickly found out that it's really not meant to be played with as my 5yr son immediately pulled the tires off. He hasn't taken the hood off yet but i'm sure it's only a matter of time.

Last night, I gave my good friend's 5 year old son, JL Typhoon for Christmas. About 2 minutes after playing with it, the wheel and tire fell off. The 5 years old "This truck is a peice of crap" :rotf: I told him it's a realistic toy. He got a kick out of it.

I bought him a Syclone 3 years ago and its still going strong. I going to give these out as a present to young kids going forward.

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Well, they are officially out!!!

Ordered a few from this guy here. They look pretty sharp. Unfortunately, the red/gray one I have sitting in pieces in the garage has the stock wheels and this one has ZR-1 wheels:rant:

Guess you can't win them all, but at least JL is showing some waaay over due respect for the Ty guys...:tup:
