I really don't understand Spin Master's distribution???!!!

My opinion ... some stores got so saturated with some of the earlier releases that they aren't restocking, since what they have isn't moving .... case of over-production, I think ....

My stores had Rusty all the way til he retired, Racing Champions was the best because they made the main scheme and more drivers were produced. The 1992-94 were the best years for Racing Champions diecast. My stores always had Sadler, Marlin and Kahne and Kasey Kahne was the last non-COT I purchased in 2006. Copies of the Morgan McClure 4 Kodak car sat on our Roses's shelves for years up to 2008. But the Roses store got torn down and was coverted into a new strip mall and dorms for Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Agreed! Racing Champions had tons of different drivers, some special paint schemes, and they were the cheapest! Which was all that mattered to me as a kid. How many die casts can I get for the fewest $$$$

You are lucky, or have a good eye. I examine cars before I buy them, if a wheel or the chassis is out of whack I am not getting it. Nor am I getting it if there is a stray decal, like on Biffle's car I got. I managed to scrape the stray decal of and good as new.

That's a good point. The plan should be Main Scheme first, alternate scheme second. Also, more copies of drivers like Newman or Truex and not make them so rare to find in these waves. They basically treat the cars like action figures and no one will tell the difference, its almost as if they believe the consumer is stupid and does not know what NASCAR is.

My store hasn't had a delivery of Spinmasters in like 3-4 weeks or longer. The hangers are bare and still no Spinmasters.

One of the Wal-Marts I go to has been pretty decent with re-stocking, but another one still has all of the first wave, like they havent sold at all.

Thats weird. What store doesn't have any? A Meijer near me has never had spin masters.
