Has any fellow Canucks found any 914's in our stores yet?
I want 3 of them. One to stay original. One to paint L13M yellow. One to convert into a GT White.(like building a ship in a bottle, I know I can do it) |

After driving to 3 Targets and 5 Walmarts scattered across 4 states, I am proud to announce that I found....
exactly one 914. And yes, it was in the first store I visited. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

The Matchbox Gods must not like the Mid South here in Elvis Land . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Been to 4 different WalMarts/Targets several times and still no Matchbox 914's . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
It seems that Target for several weeks is almost wiped out of single car Matchbox cars . They have several multi pack but no single pack . A lot of Hot Wheel cars but hardly no Matchbox cars . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) What have we done to deserve this kind of treatment ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) We're jealous of the west of the Mississippi river folks .

I have done quite a bit of looking with no luck. However my son is starting to amass a pretty big collection of all of the other cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Did pick up this C6R Vette! |

Seventeen pages about a model that is, shall we say, "accuracy challenged"?
I'd wonder what the resultant frenzy would be if we had a 1/43 914 model with the fidelity that is provided by something like this...... Attached image(s) |

I've been to two Walmarts and no luck so far. I guess Target is the next stop.

I don't think any 914s have been shipped to Florida - Don't they know who I am ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I'm beginning to think they all went to Haiti T.C. |

OMG, Five more today, I have a fleet of them now. I think the best chance of finding any is in the rural area's. Walmart came through again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
