They've been all over ebay too, since September.
Just need to find a seller who will ship to Canada!
A month or so back an ebay seller in North Dakota had something like 40 WIX sets he was selling for a buy it now of $39.95 each! I'd already bought a set for around twice that price, but bought a second set from him, and sold the '70 Challenger from that set (to a guy from Canada) for $37.50.  So I ended up with a second '09 model for about the cost of shipping.  :)

After the last year or two of seeing them at Wal-Mart, I finally picked up one of these tonight:

I bought a T/A Challenger and took the ralley rims off it and put them on this one, then repainted the white top and interior black, finally added the bumble bee stripe. Looks pretty good except the R/T logos I felt I couldn't get off.

I can try. I know a lot of them had small cracks in the cases for whatever reason and I figure if I'm paying that much for a 1/64th, it had better be good. They cost $10.00 plus tax if I see them again. I'll be out tomorrow and if I see them I'll pick up a couple for you and whoever else may want one. For those that have never seen them at your local Wal-Mart, they are usually piled into a blue American Graffitti box with a couple dozen of other cars and mini displays like this one. You may have to dig through them to find them. Chryco, I'll shoot you a note if I find you one.  :)
