They look good, Mike. Until you mentioned it, it didn't occur to me that I also have one rack-less. Both harmon and I ordered ours from the same guy, and ended up with 2 trucks w/ 2 different sets of wheels. How about you?

Unfortunately all 4 of mine have roof racks. One has the Boyd wide 5 spoke wheels and the other three have the thin spoke C5-ish wheels.

There's several differences on this release from the first release. This release has plastic treadless tires whereas the original had treaded rubber tires. The interior, underbody and engine are black. The original has a grey interior and engine; the underbody is unpainted.

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Also noticed that this run has a plastic chassis, vs bare metal on the white/grey.

Vinnie,

Contact this store: http://www.troystoysinc.com/index.php

His site does not show any Typhoons, but he should have some of the new Tys and maybe 1 white Ty. I bought mine there in person on Tuesday. Good luck.

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Yeah, the white ones are very hard to come by. There is one seller on ebay thats selling them for $12-$15 EACH

As for the red ones, check WalMart, they should be showing up shortly.

Jimmy - did you just get lucky when you ordered them or did you order specific for what you wanted? Or did you just pick them up local?

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Hey Vin, I just got lucky. I ordered (5) from Milezones and thats what I got. My son actually pointed out to me about the roof racks.


I am going to take a run to Walmart today to see if they got any new JL's in.

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Since the guy I bought my red/grey from on Ebay didn't have any, I used Milezone.com this time. When I ordered my batch, they showed 44 available.
