Picked up one of the M-Box Caddie ambulances the other day at a local Wal Mart along with 2 of the new color Pierce aerials. It appeared that the store had just put up a box of M-Box stuff.
Besides starting to show up at the 'Big Box' stores, these are also starting to show up at Lowe's Stores across the country as part of their Christmas toy line-up. While Lowe's doesn't carry the regular $1.00 Matchbox line, they are carrying the Mega-Rig line as well as assorted Matchbox 2-Packs and 5-Packs.
There is also a new (to me) 2-pack of the current Matchbox Rear-Mount and a Floodlight Trailer that I recently found in a Shopko Store. Again, these are in Lowe's Stores as well.
Checked toy section at local WalMart today and found they had just stocked the MB working rigs and I got 3 of the white aerials. Not much in the 1 - 100 line but it was low so they may be holding back trying to get "rid" of what is on shelf. Am going to check another nearby WalMart tomorrow.
