Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

I got my JL Red's and Teal's in the mail today. It surprised me on how different they were than the White/Gray ones I have. The Teal's all are rackless, the Red/Gray's all have the C5 5 spoke and roof rack.

Truckless. For now.

Looks like I'm boycotting Walmart and Walgreens. They didn't even have spots on the wall for JL.

Good to know we aren't the only town that you can't find JL's at Walmart and Walgreens. We used to have a sweet old school hobby shop that sold them, but they closed a couple years ago. :tdown:

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Received my teal Tys today. The wheel/axle quality isn't nearly as good on these "forever 64" editions as they are on the white/gray regular JL "Muscle Cars". I know the retail on the "64"s is about a buck or 2 less than the other JL editions, but they look just as good. :tup:

I should have my black ones in a day or 2 and will post soon thereafter.

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

I think its cool that the JL Muscle Car series all come with a garage piece (ie: lifts, tool boxes, ramps, etc.)

Rumor is that the next Typhoon will be white/white and come with jackstands...;)

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

Anyone get the Teals but missed out on the Red/gray? I'd like to trade one-for-one. I must've been sleeping when the Teals were released. :(

i have a teal w/ a small crease on the top portion of the hard plastic of the encasement (came that way in the box :rant:) that i'd trade for a red/gray sans roof rack with non-C5 rims, or a red/gray with roof rack and C5 rims.

Re: Johnny Lightning Typhoon

aren't all the teals rackless?

So far, that's true.

Well, Dave, I think that might work. That will still leave me with ONE rackless red. Or, I can give you two RACKED reds for one teal??

Mike: Sorry, I only one C5 Red (w/rack).

2 for 1 trade :rotf: I already have 5 racked reds. I don't want anymore of that style and color. It would be nice to have a rackless red, but unless I find them at a store I am not going to go out of my way to find the different variations. I bought 5 teals, so I figure I can sacrifice one of those. If you want to wait to look around for a teal to see if they more pop up, that is fine. I don't care one way or another.
