WILD CHERRIES AT MY LHS!

[jktrains]

UPDATE! - Got the Walthers E-newsletter today & they are showing the Fresh Cherries for $4.50 each[:D]

Yeah, I saw this in the on-line catalog - mentioned it a month & a half ago in this thread. Looks like there still ain’t no sale on those (they were listed as $4.50 last month…)

And Brakie, I understand your point, and trust me I try to pay as little as possible, but if the Wal*Marts around here decide NOT to carry Fresh Cherries (oddly, they started getting in NEW Malibu releases, such as a late model XK Jag - grabbed one of those right quick), then you either gotta pay up (and we’re talking 2 bucks here, not 200 bucks) or go without - life ain’t nothin’ but a series of compromises [xx(]
(Oh, forgot to mention - that is the on-line Walther’s (MSRP) price - I’m probably gonna have to order the Escort & Tempo BEFORE they’re all sold out and going on eBay for fricking 20 bucks a pop)

I don’t mean to sound harsh against all LHS…It just those that insist on charging FULL MSRP and won’t back off the price when you want to buy several items such as cars,locomotives,track or switches.Both full price hobby shops is a 52 mile round trip yet,these dealers won’t give those that drive several miles a modest price break…A mere 10% would be appreciated by those of us that drive several miles to shop in their shop.So,the heck with 'em.

As far as Walthers their lowest prices isn’t that low when you compare them to most on line prices!!! So,in that light I only order from Walthers(or Horizon) on a has needed bases for detail parts even though I can get some Atlas detail parts cheaper directly from Atlas…

So to follow that

The Fresh Cherries are now available as six-packs. The cars are less expensive per vehicle in the 6 pack. Hopefully there will be some new colors in the packs, will let you know when they arrive later this week.

MSRP is 19.95 for 6, 3.33 a car vs. the 4.50 MSRP for the singles.

I have two of the six packs heading to my home right now from Walthers, they have been shipped , at least I’ll have some of these " normal cars" on my layout. Not everyone in town can drive Beemers and Mercedes, supposed to be on my doorstep Thursday.

Well the 2 six-packs that arrived yesterday have the same colors that have been available previously. Still not a bad way to purchase them if you need some more '70s and '80s vehicles.
