New clones at Walmart (brand = "Awesome"?)
I didn't get to look at them much because I was with my girlfriend (who thinks I have a serious problem with these things).
Anyway, I think the brand was called "Awesome". They had Fast n Furious bodies and they were much more proportional looking - wheels and bodies looked more proportional.
Anyone see these? Better yet, anyone have any feedback on them? I already did a search for them on the forums...

on that link u just posted the cars have a steerin wheel. i wonder what it'd be like driving with a steering wheel. it's probably something to get used to. i saw the motorworks in the walmart finally but decided to get a H2 64x instead. i like the looks of that truck.

I don't think we nailed it, yet.
I think the cars I saw were different from anything so far.
They definitely had F&F bodies and they came in a container *like* a bullet, but it was designed like a NOS bottle. I guess I'm going to have to buy one now and review it/take pics. Darnit [sarcasm].
I'll try to get back to you guys this weekend - busy with work and the condo, lately.

Here they are!!!
I found them on the "other" forum.
Here's a link to them on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=2565
What a RIP-OFF!!! Just pick 'em up at Walmart for $13.
here's the link to the "other" forum - you'll have to remove the spaces between the words...

That is a terrible rip off on ebay. The cars cost $15 or $17 (can't recall) at wallmart. There is a thread and pics of these cars in the zip zap forums posted by azimov I think.
