That yellow really looks great.  Like I told Geno with his green one, I'd like the white strips to be black.  Black with this yellow would be an eye-catcher.

50/50 George, prefer the white on Genos green version but yes black would look better with the yellow.

Geno,

Those are outstanding pics and that color combo's outstanding to me too.  Good Lord I love it.  I've never seen that model either. I usually hunt them down at Walmart.  Steve 

Thought I'd have a look at whats available and wow, M2 have produced a heap, all in new colors. Love the blue!

Here's my M2 '71 Challenger purchased at a Walmart about 15 years ago.  It's an odd color, looks like light gold poly with a slight greenish tint.  I think it would look better with black stripes.  I'm sure George would agree!

I'm surprised that you haven't worked your "magic" on that Challenger. Steve

Well gosh darn it, it looks like it's time for me to hit up a Walmart.

To each their own.  But for me that white with the green is just too distracting and to my eyes doesn't flow nicely.  Black would be softer with the green.  As I said, to each their own.  Smile

So over the years, and many times, I've been to several different Wal-Mart stores and I've NEVER seen any M2 1:24 scale models.  NEVER!  I've seen some of the 1:64 tweezer size,  of which I've no clue why anyone would collect that size, but we're all different, so I'm sure there are some out there that prefer that really, really little size.  But 1:24's, nope never seen them at Wal-Mart, and if I did see them, I'd me in the check-out line with them.

Geoff and everyone, I visited TWO Wallmart stores today and as usual neither of them had any M2 1:24 scale cars.  So again I read here all the time how you guys find them at Walmart, but I've never seen a one at any Wallmart's here.  Frustrating.

@georgeschire Man, that's a bummer George. Ours generally keeps a regular supply on hand. Several of mine have come from our local store.

Oh yea, a bummer!  Hey, if I saw M2 1:24 scale (American) car models, I'd buy one each of all the different ones they had on the self.  I'd be in the check-out line faster than a rabbit being chased by a dog.  Smile I've actually got 3 Wallmarts to choose from in my local area, and not one of them have every carried them.  Weird.

@georgeschire George, that is strange, pretty much every Walmart in our area have some assortment of 1/24 M2 models, as does our Hobby Lobby stores.

Interesting that YOUR Hobby Lobby stores carry M2 1:24's too.  Ours doesn't!  And I go there often with my wife when she goes to by yarn.  I'm feeling really left out here in Minnesota.  

Displeased
