Hickory NC area - gotta take a ride
None in Hickory, BUT the marvelous Dusty at the Hickory Wally World located some in Gastonia and Statesville. I made the ride to Statesville; although the computer said they had 33, I found less than 10. Of course, they may not have put them all out on the shelves; they do take up quite a bit of space.
FYI, none in Hickory, Lenoir, Morganton, Taylorsville, Granite Falls, Lincolnton... Dusty checked a lot of stores. Statesville and Gastonia were the closest stores that had any. Gastonia had not put them on the shelves yet.
Now... how difficult is it to paint one of these things? I'm wondering if I can find some itty bitty Ed Hardy decals...

Found some R/C Spyders
I spent too much time yesterday afternoon going to one Toys R Us 3, Walmarts, and three Targets in search of the illusive R/C Spyder. Ended up about 50. . miles from my house with no luck. Saw plenty of R/c vehicles ranging from cars to trucks but no helkicopters but no Spyders Then on the way home I took an alternate route to try to avoid rush hour traffic. Spotted another Walmarts about 30 miles from my house, with the only problem being it was on the opposite side of the direction I was going. Debated whether it was worth it to wait in line to make a u turn across the highway. Got into there without much hope and also I was now hungry as it was near supper time. Finally found their small R/C section in their toy department and they had 7 Spyders. I couldn't believe it. I bought a yellow one so they have three red ones and three yellow ones left. In case any of you Jersey Spyder riders are interested, here's the address and phone. no:
Walmart Store #1807
265 N Route 73
West Berlin, NJ 08091
(856) 753-8787
The receipt also lists the Manager's name as Helena Lee at the same phone number.

It's been over 2 weeks that no one has posted a message here, so I guess we have a rc spyder or you all have given up trying to find them.

As of this past Sunday, there were still at least 25 of them in the Wal-Mart closest to us. I guess living out in the sticks not too many people know what they are.

+I doubt they were available for $19 without a major sales snafu.
MiniMe's bike is currently sitting on my office table at work.
Ride on.

They had their ads printed and sent out saying $49 - which is what we all have seen. Maybe they mistook another toy for the Spyder like the person who saw the 'blue' ones.....which were Raptors...
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Well i didn't need to buy them and, they were wrapped up in shrink wrap so you couldn't get to them until 5 am. I wasn't there for the madness. They only had two on the skid. so $19 dollars was what it was.

Paying it forward???
Ok, so here's my little way of paying it forward to all my extended Spyder Family members that might be doing without (TheRC Spyder) this Holiday Season.
I stopped by my local Wally World in Florence KY & they had a few on the shelves. If you contact me, we'll set up a way for you to pay & I will go down there, get what you want & ship it directly to you. No additional costs, you just pay for the unit, taxes & shipping & that's it. I know I'm not really doing a major service, but hey, if you can't get them local, this is gonna be the next best way. Of course, this is as long as they have them in stock.
Just send me a PM with your contact info & which one or how many you want & I'll get right back with you to set it all up.
So, HO HO HO & Happy Holidays to ALL

Beautiful and PATRIOTIC!
I hope my Spyder can survive the work hours being cut back. I would love to continue playing with mine. Either sand it down and give it a weathered look with the aircraft scheme or a nice bright flag scheme.

I've been looking but can't find any here in Newfoundland. I've checked all Walmarts in the city and two outside upto 100km away... no luck. .
