As I was car hunting this past weekend in the beautifully overpopulated Miami area I went into a Walmart looking for Cars items on clearance. After not finding anything in the clearance aisles, I went to the normal Cars aisle to check as usual, my wife was looking at the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks for my son AJ. The cars were down the aisle, I looked from afar and saw what looked like the Popemobile! I almost knocked my wife over as I immediately shouted, ” there's a Popemobile!” I walked briskly like a power walker down the aisle, didnt want to run and look pathetic, lol and there it was! A Popemobile! And two megas behind was a Pope! I couldnt believ my eyes! There werent any more, so I assume someone elsegot the other two in the case but there was a Pinion Tanaka there as well. Perhaps my ultimate find as of late. So they are out there in the wild, good luck to all!

If it had been me, I would have done the Olympic long jump to get to it.

Cone-gratz on the find! Now if my calculations are correct, Pinion will not show up at Wal-Mart. I will have to find him at K-Mart like Kingpin, and the Pope and Popemobile will be found around December.

I would love to find these at Wal-mart as they have the best "not-on-sale" prices. Finding these guys at Kohl's/Gordman's/etc are really expensive.

Our Walmarts (and every other store around here) are still buried in FMM deluxes.
I split a case with another T5er but would pick up a spare if they ever show up in the wild.
