since WM seems to be the one overstocked ... they may have gotten a "great deal" from mattel on older cases.  so they have no problem deeply discounting the retail price.  Kmart is also discounting them as they empty out stores that are closing.  (like mine)

Target price-matched in my area recently (89 cents) ... but new mainline stock is only dribbling out.  (I don't think they got the "deal" that WM did, so they are hesitant to "give away HWs".  which I fully understand.)

the ship should right itself soon.  but with every distribution "iceberg", more diecast collectors seem to run aground ... permanently.
