Definately one of my favorite JL's. Finding one on the Pegs saved me some serious time trying to convert a Batmobile back to the Futura.

If I find anymore, I'd be sure to pick them up.

Thanks Wyatt for the latest edition of The Picture Of The Week.
Another nice casting from Johnny Lightning.

The version illustrated above was the initial release of this casting from Classic Gold 2 release 18.
I don't think that we ever got this release in Canada or atleast any store in my area.
I searched very hard for months for this casting without finding it in a retail store.
And I never saw any of the other castings that came in the same release in any store.
I ultimately bought one but they were selling for some very inflated prices when I acquired my copy.
I'm still glad that I ended up with a copy of it. This version is sweet.

This is the 10th Anniversary Edition that I believe was a random insert in JL cases at the time that it was released. I was fortunate enough to acquire this special casting from another American JL collector along with some other JL castings. I still like this version today.

I believe that this was a favourite JL casting for Lummox.
With him back visiting and posting here again, I'm sure that he will have a comment or two.
And we also know that Zilleonti likes this casting.
I will give the JL design team two thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif for making this casting.
Thank you.

Cheers. Cobra

We owe you big guy, If I ever meet you, the drinks are on me, for being responsible for getting the Futura done.
