Johhny Lightening ThirdGen!!!

Hey! I was at WalMart last night, and I happened to spot a ThirdGen Johhny Lightening in the Hot Wheels isle. Of course, I picked one up. It is part of their new commerative Camaro line, and it is a '91 RS. i will post a pic in a few days, assuming that this will not be locked, of course.

Yeah, I saw the same one. It looks just like the 82 Z28 Johnny Lightning car. It doesn't have the right ground effects or hood and if the hood opens I'll bet you money it has a crossfire engine.

I've got the 82 pace car, the 82 non-pace car, 85 Z28, 87 IROC (3 of those actually), black IROC (forget what year) and a few odds & ends.

Ive always had that same question, why always lots of camaros, but no birds, I personally think it goes by the same rules as this board, 50 camaros to every 1 firebird, notice how almost every thread is camaro oriented. All well guess that just makes us firebird guys more rarer.
