oh sh*t! $60! damn. I totally slept today instead of going to Walmart to get one of these on top of a bunch of errands.

Stormy320 · 10-08-2005, 01:50 AM

Went to Walmart tonight and it was closed.

Unbelievable.

I thought they stayed open all night.

Anyone see these somewhere else.

I'm not a Walmart fan.

WTF? I went to two different Walmarts and they didn't carry them? And they're not on the Walmart website. How do I find these things?

shay2nak · 10-08-2005, 09:59 PM

Walmart closed at 10pm tonight. I called them before I left because it's 10 miles away and I didn't see it on the website earlier (it's new it seems so that why I can't find it). The guy told me they don't have it. I checked ToysRus, Kaybee. Maybe Target or Kmart carries it?

I think the brand is Hitari.

You have to leave a deposit and get onto a waiting list.....

I thought Walmart was 24hrs? All the ones I've been to were.

Stormy320 · 10-09-2005, 12:09 PM

Guys - Walmart sucks in So Cal.

I've been to two and none of them have one.

Someone that knows where to get these should buy several and mark them above MSRP.

Does anyone have a skew number on them.

xxxotic · 10-09-2005, 12:14 PM

A new Target opened up a few blocks away from me the other day, and they dont have it, but I them it at WalMart. Got the last red one and they were hidden all the way on the top shelf. They come in red, orange and green. They are made by Hitari and their website is www.hitari.com and they are located in England. The model number is 8238 (at least on mine- might vary by color)It also says it is approvedand licensed product of Group Lotus Plc and also has www.lotuscars.co.uk on the box.

The phone number for the company is also on the box and it is 01582 609 853 so if you know how to call overseas or email Hitari maybe they could tell you what other stores have them.

If they are licensed by Lotus you would think that they would have them somewhere on the GroupLotus webstore, but I have not had time to check
to see if they are there. It would be nice if the dealers also carried them. People could play with their toy Exiges until their real ones arrive.

Warning- It is not for kids under 3 (so you cant lie and tell your wife you are buying them for the kids) and it takes 8 hours to charge the battery the first time you use it, so you cant use it right away, so I was driving it in my living/dining rooms at midnight and crashed into a few walls! Also it has 2 speeds but it is hard to find the button on the transmisson unless you really look for it.

Heres the link to it on their site.

I cant download the PDF file though since I must not have an up to date acrobat reader.

shay2nak · 10-09-2005, 06:52 PM

looks like ya'll on the east coast are getting these first. No surprise there. Since you did buy it at Walmart, I'll check again this weekend.

How does the car look? (quality)

Eye Candy · 10-09-2005, 08:44 PM

The quality of the car is excellent. Worth looking around for.

MickOpalak · 10-10-2005, 05:06 AM

I picked mine up yesterday at the Walmart in Cumming, GA. Ardent Red, of course. It's fun to drive it around the house with the dogs chasing it and barking hysterically.

shay2nak · 10-10-2005, 07:59 PM

LOL.

I went to Kaybee and Target today. Neither had it.

Stormy320 · 10-13-2005, 06:31 PM

If anyone is interested in one, let me know.

I have an extra in yellow.

Same here Stormy. You spend your dollars there, you pretty much support the Chinese economy and eminent domain to grab property that they need for their stores. Sam's Club obviously falls into the same category. A google containing words eminent domain, Wal-Mart or Sam's Club should enlighten those that are not enlightened alreay.

BTW, forgot to mention I will take my scale model with a running motor in a 1:1 scale instead.

choi0706 · 11-08-2005, 08:43 PM

asking too much for it. How do I know he's broken it in properly?

Stormy320 · 11-08-2005, 10:27 PM
