Review of Walmart Exclusives
By Chris Pike

Recently, I got a sneak preview of the upcoming Johnny Lightning Wal-Mart exclusive release. Here are some of the highlights.

First, we get the '87 Monte Carlo SS in classic Burgundy Metallic. Yeah, the black was great but the burgundy paint really takes me back to the '80s. Spoiler #22 makes its appearance in the form of a blue '65 Chevelle, a real 'beaut. We've seen a lot of the '70 Cuda over the years, but it's never looked hotter than this. This one features a matte black paint job with gloss black flames that glisten as you roll the car under the light. It's a real scorcher!

The '65 Mustang is a personal favorite casting and shows up here in a really sharp green metallic finish with black and chrome wheels. If you like 'em nice and clean, this one's for you. Speaking of clean, you won't want to miss the '69 Camaro RS ZL1 in Metallic Blue with a white vinyl top. Lastly, the ’68 Shelby GT500KR makes its first appearance here with a sleek silver finish and blue stripes. Check out the photos below to see them for yourself.























I also managed to get some info on the White Lightning chase cars in this set; white tires and gold rims. There will also be five Lightning Strike cars, the ’70 Cuda, the '71 Camaro Z/28, the '69 Camaro, '68 Shelby GT500KR, and the '75 Corvette. Be on the lookout for these cars only at Walmart. See you there!
