Nice little red.
My sister in law worked at Toys R Us many years ago. There were quite a few people got their walking papers for either that or putting them aside for their friends. I remember being at a KB toys one day, 20 some years ago and an employee said, you’re not going to find anything special, the box is picked through before it goes on the floor. I’m sure it still happens.I have not seen any of these at my local Walmart up here in Ontario. However, one of their employees is a vendor at local toy shows. I have always suspected him of "cherry picking" the good stuff before we get to see it.
Check eBay, they’ll end up there.I think they are getting cherry picked before they hit the shelves.
How do I miss theseCool! I went to Wally World tonight and sadly didn’t see it, but I did get this

That happens all around the world. Even if they are not employees, the collectors have an insider doing their "Cherry Picking".I have not seen any of these at my local Walmart up here in Ontario.

One of the better days for pickin for the entire year!!!!!
Found an m2 kinda like that in my Walmart. Semi tractor with a flatbed trailer, with a yellow sixpack 69 rr just like mine on it. If it hadn't had some advertising logo on the car, I probably would have bought it, and set it on a shelf to collect dust.Cool!
