Went on a beer run to get some "Blue Moon"...So I took a detour to Wallyworld. I practically destroyed the R/C section. I handled every R/C car in search of the elusive spyder no luck at the first stop then went by Target no luck there. So I am on a mission tomorrow, to visit every walmart and target in the area..

WOW these New Bright RC Spyder are AWESOME looking (did not open a box yet). I went to 3 walmart and found them at only one. They had only 8 on display they were in red and yellow only and I asked the manager of the toy department if he had more and is there another colors and he gave me a long story/history on New Bright and there RC toys, the short of it is if you want one run and find them as they will not be around for long so I bought 4 for now.

Firefly
10-31-2010, 07:34 PM
I spent the whole day looking for one---- arrrrg! no dice.

Tried 7 Walmarts, 3 Targets, 2 Meijer, 1 Big K, 3 Toys R Us.

No luck anywhere. All of them carried the New Bright branded RC toys.


If anyone comes across some--- I'll take at least one! Will buy 4 if I can--- one to keep in box, 1 to play with and mod, 2 for other peeps....

But I'll take what I can get-- and if that's only 1-- then so be it.

That makes far too much sense for it to actually happen.

Obviously the BRP dealer network would be a great way to market them.

I'm away from home now but add a zero on the front and back and you should have a full UPC code. OR try this number: 050211610390

I tried it myself and didn't come up with much. I read somewhere online that this item is a black Friday item. I'm thinking that it may take a few weeks for the toy spyders to find there way to your local Walmarts. I'll do my best to find more locally here in NJ.

The Walmart in Jane, Missouri currently has 29, they're in the back in boxes.

It helps if you print out the UPC code (earlier in this thread) and take that with you so they can scan it and see that they really do have them on-hand, then they'll go get them for you.

docdoru
11-02-2010, 02:59 PM
A sticker on the side of the box says 27MHz, does anyone have a different frequency? If not, we'll have to invent an alternative for racing them.
Most fixed frequency 27MHz toy RCs use the specific frequency of 27.145 MHz (Channel 4). However, some toy-grade vehicles have band selectable frequencies. This allows the user to select a narrow portion or band of the frequency to use. Typically the band selectable vehicle will have a channel switch on both the vehicle and the controller that changes between two and up to six bands or channels. In this way, two 27MHz band selectable vehicles can operate in the same area if each vehicle (and its corresponding controller) is set to a different band.

If you see an RC toy labeled as 27MHz but it says something like "Play with up to 3 vehicles at once" then what you have is a toy with selectable channels within the 27MHz range. The manufacturer rarely specifies what those specific channels are but if they use standard color coding, you might be able to figure it out:

26.995 MHz -- Channel 1 (Brown)
27.045 MHz -- Channel 2 (Red)
27.095 MHz -- Channel 3 (Orange)
27.145 MHz -- Channel 4 (Yellow)
27.195 MHz -- Channel 5 (Green)
27.255 MHz -- Channel 6 (Blue)

Hubby was seeing the dentist in an area with lots of stores. "Honey, since I'm here, do you want me to bring anything home?" Me... "Umm, how about two RC Spyders? They're at Wally World? They'll make great Christmas presents to each other?" Hubby... "Sure!":shemademe_smilie:

Off to Wally World he goes. Gets there and looks around in the RC section. "Honey, they don't have any." Me... "Let me give you the scew number." (Thank you, who ever posted those.) I rattled them off and he told them to the store clerk. "They don't have any." This goes on for a while with all the different packaging numbers. Me... "Well, not all the stores have them yet. Ah well, thanks for trying." Then he says...

"While I'm here, there are these neat RC scoots that look just like yours.":spyder:

True story. I said 'Spyder', he heard 'spider.' He was looking for giant RC tarantulas for his beloved. Gotta love him for it.

If your getting more than one make sure they are different channels. The offer 49MHz and 27Mhz. Once I get mine I'll probably convert it to work with my high end radios and gear and post it as a project showing how I did it.

There is a sticker on the side of the box with the channel. I think the red and yellow color of the Spyder indicate different frequencies but be sure to verify the frequency sticker. Otherwise you cannot run them at the same time without serious problems- it resembles a DPS failure and limp mode with backfiring all at once!;)

I found a rack full of em today in RTP, NC. I'm here on biz and don't have an easy way to carry them back with me otherwise I would have picked up 2.

I verified they are not channel selectable. My plan is to gut mine of the cheep servos, receiver, speed controller and motor and replace it all with quality RC gear I use in my other RC toys. This will be my winter project.

I'm also looking to deck out the lights and paint job to closer match my Phantom. My wife is already rolling her eyes!


Most fixed frequency 27MHz toy RCs use the specific frequency of 27.145 MHz (Channel 4). However, some toy-grade vehicles have band selectable frequencies. This allows the user to select a narrow portion or band of the frequency to use. Typically the band selectable vehicle will have a channel switch on both the vehicle and the controller that changes between two and up to six bands or channels. In this way, two 27MHz band selectable vehicles can operate in the same area if each vehicle (and its corresponding controller) is set to a different band.

If you see an RC toy labeled as 27MHz but it says something like "Play with up to 3 vehicles at once" then what you have is a toy with selectable channels within the 27MHz range. The manufacturer rarely specifies what those specific channels are but if they use standard color coding, you might be able to figure it out:

26.995 MHz -- Channel 1 (Brown)
27.045 MHz -- Channel 2 (Red)
27.095 MHz -- Channel 3 (Orange)
27.145 MHz -- Channel 4 (Yellow)
27.195 MHz -- Channel 5 (Green)
27.255 MHz -- Channel 6 (Blue)

After going to six Walmarts, I found a yellow one for my wife. It'll have to wait until Christmas.

Watch them as you choose yours. The first one I selected was missing the left mirror. Made me have to hunt through three more stores before I found another. Also saw some with scrapes on the rider's leg (road rash?) or damaged boxes.

Personally, I would choose 2.4ghz with a Futaba line of servos. I could easily use either my Futaba 14mz or my Futaba 3Pk. Both are on 2.4ghz.

Along with my Align 450Trex, 500Trex and my two MA-Fury's.

Went to WalMart to look for R/C Spyder. Couldn’t find one, so I went to customer service. Thanks to Omeobe, I showed them a copy of his receipt. They looked on the computer and they said they had 28 of them. So we went hunting. They were stored way up high in the xmas decorations area. The guy got a ladder and got one down for me. He said they were going to put them out for Black Friday sale. I got the first one. Give that guy a raise!!:2thumbs: That is what I call customer service! Posted some pictures.

By reading all the threads and talking to the Walmart people the stores should have kept them off of the sales floor until Sunday morning november 7th. I talked to people at my nearest store a couple of days ago and they had 28 in the stock room. They are aware that some stores did not follow policy but they called me today and said that I could come and get the ones I asked for 2 red and 2 yellow and they are different frequencies. My best quess is that Walmart stores will stock the sales floor on Sat. evening for the sale. I would think that as large as Walmart is that they shipped the spyders to all store and the quantity would depend on the store size and sales volume. Good luck to all and after you got your own dont forget the grandkids (ha ha)

I would be surprised (pleasantly) if they appear in all stores. Walmart's ads vary regionally, so not every Wally World has the same sales or promotions.

Questions
11-05-2010, 06:01 PM
Usually the ads pertain more to seasonal merchandise and the different areas that we live in, hopefully that would not affect the spyder and also with the toy season arriving. The different regions would be more apt to have different pricing tiers. I have confidence that everyone will be happily surprised if they check the stores this weekend.

Good luck to all and let me know if you got your spyder

Went to the Salinas Walmart and they did not have any. Asked them to call the store in Marina and they had 22 of them. Sue said well we might as well go over there "what's another 12 miles" we already went 50 so far. Went over there and found the display "wasn't with the other toys, they put them in an entirely different part of the store. Then I called SLO and he said he wanted one, so we picked up another, Sue said well we might as well call him and see if he wants to meet us half way. What is another 30 miles up the road. So on to Gilroy we go & meet at the Arby's, had a nice visit and then 75 miles back to King City. At least we got home before the Sharks hockey game.


Have you all looked at the stats on this thread? It must be too cold to ryde. :doorag:

Sharon we wound up in Union for these, sorry but they were the last two they had, said 8 more were on order however they may have just said that to get rid of us. On the way home we stopped at our Wally World and tried our tactics again without luck. Guess we were a bit too intense since a manager showed up to back up the two sales clerks we had pinned.

One might call it 'free enterprise' ... I call it somebody being an unethical @#$%! The things retail for about $50 bucks and the @#$%'s allowing bids on them for $100 or whatever some desparate person or person's willing to pay. That sets the law of supply and demand on 'em I suppose, but are we really that needy? Perhaps I'd allow myself to be so connived if there was an RT version ... or at least an RS in black.

Got 2 of them, one in each color. Found them at the Wal-Mart in Columbia. Had I been a little more patient I could've gotten them at the Wal-Mart in Jeff City but by the time they called me saying they found them in the stockroom I was already on my way back home from Columbia. So any other Mid-MO members that are still looking and keep striking out, try the Wal-Mart in Jeff City or the Wal-Mart in Columbia off of Conley Rd., from the Broadway Rd. exit off of Hwy 63.

I got 2 RED and 2Yellow ones. will keep one red and get it painted to look like my RT-S. The other yellow one is up for sale to the first one who gets to Cowtown on Wed 10 Nov AM while I am there with my RS getting lights put on. Want what I paid for it 50Bucks will cover all ie... S & H :roflblack:lol. Acutally with the tax it comes out to $52.60. Sooo one gets a break at $50. The other two (a red and yellow one) will be donated to the Spyderfest 2011. To be announced as to how they will be given out. maybe tickets in a barrel or something.That's on the list of MANY things to be taken care of in the future. I did find out that Salem Mo walmart has 18 on ORDER they are not in transit,in warehouse or in their stock room. THEY ARE ON ORDER!!!! whhooooppppeeee do. Sometime this year they might get in. They are in their catalog (W M) and can be order that wayalso.

Found two yellow & one red in our closest Wal-Mart. I wanted the red - but, after I looked at it several times discovered some blemishes on parts of the Spyder. Box was not damaged....just looked like poor quality pieces were used to build this one.
They did tell me that they have seven more red Spyders in transit.

So, I tried another Wal-Mart in the area while out & about - and hit pay dirt. They had an entire stack of yellow & red stacked in the middle of the aisle on the way to the toy section. Picked up a red one to match my current Spyder (it matches until I get my orange custom paint job).

Make sure you look at the bike closely to make sure you don't have a broken tail light, etc.
Anyhow - still trying to figure out how to charge the Spyder battery. Looking forward to playing!
