The boards are full of discussions like this. The local Target has been relatively empty for weeks now, but both Walmarts have been relatively full. We have seen a mix of older cases and G & H cases at WM. Both WMs have just put out additional boxes of mystery cars. Whether the situation is the result of reduced sales because of the economy or a decrease in collector interest, I am afraid it is going to result in a reduction of numbers produced. Sales to or for kids will likely not suffer, but we collectors may find it a lot harder to find new stuff on a regular basis. gunslinger gary wilcox
