I got one of these and it's nice. I like the silver trim. Here's a good review, including comparison to the previous Johnny Lightning versions from many years ago.

In the July 2022 Round2 product spotlight video (on youtube), they showed a new Johnny Lightning re-release of the 1/64 Green Hornet Black Beauty. Appeared to be the same car as above, but a carded version without the figures and box. Also, the base of the car in the new carded version was green vs. metallic in the Mijo exclusive shown in this thread.

Target is undergoing some changes...the one location’s collector section is 4’ wide. The other location I couldn’t get into due to rep Avon get the Parking lot.

Back in stock with box and figures

I've been looking in Target(s) all over the country this summer and no joy as yet on this. I seem to see a ton of the convertible from Dr No however...

I broke down and Ebayed mine. I don't think it cost much more than if I found it in the wild but glancing, they look like they have gone up in price.

Walmart got this wave, too, and I saw one JL Green Hornet Black Beauty at a Walmart about 3 weeks ago. Haven't seen it since at other Walmarts, and not at a Target since end of August 2022.
