+FunnyNose Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Ha someone is selling a White Jeep on eBay White Jeep WalMart still has these for $1.97 I've been putting them in caches as FTF pries.. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'm kind of surprised no one has bid on it yet. People will buy things for way too much at that site. Quote Link to comment
+The Foote Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'm kind of surprised no one has bid on it yet. People will buy things for way too much at that site. Less appeal without the travel bug tag on it. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 At least the listing person is honest in saying that's it's not a real jeep travel bug. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Would it really cost $4 to ship? wow. Quote Link to comment
+Bill & Tammy Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I have looked for them at every Wal-Mart I have been at (in various States) and haven't found them yet, even though I have heard it mentioned often that they can be found there. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 What size do you want? Quote Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 What size do you want? Super Size Me! Is that jumbo-sized Jeep a preview of what this year's WJTB's will look like? Quote Link to comment

+cache_test_dummies Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Any micro sized? Of course! Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Funny! Ok, I know I'm highjacking the thread. What happens when I know the tracking number of a missing WJTB, can I re-release it with a new tag? Sight unseen? Quote Link to comment
+sarhound Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 OK, I gotta know... Where did you find them? I've run into the same problem about not being able to locate them at WalMart or anywhere else. I tried the website, too-- nothing there. I've hit as many local WallyWorlds as I could, but it's like hunting the elusive Sasquatch. Quote Link to comment
+Drgnsrealm Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The allusive White Jeep While shopping at Walmat, for what seemed like the tenth time in two days, I made my way over to the toy section, to pick up a few...trinkets. There standing in the Hot Wheels section was a small child holding something tight to her chest. She stood no more than three feet tall, with long blonde hair that hung straight down her back. Her mother was a few feet away looking at other toys, asking the little girl if she had found a toy yet. The girl simply nodded while hiding her stash from prying eyes. When her mother turned her attention back, she was surprised to see her daughter clutching a small white and black car in her hands. "Honey? Are you sure you want that? Wouldn't you want something different, like a doll?" she asked. The child shook her head no, her green eyes sparkling with excitment. "It's a White Jeep Mommy. Just like the one Daddy's been searching for. See!" Holding the toy jeep up, she showed her new found treasure, but then her eyes narrowed as she drew it back, turning it over and over a few times before she started to frown. Stomping one foot she held her found treasure back up, her lower lip puckering. "Looky Mommy! Someone went and took the "dadgum" travel'n bug off and left the jeep. Isn't that's just...mean!" To say the least we were both surprised by the sudden outburst of this young child. Her mother stood there in shock as the child turned and placed the jeep back down. "I don't want it now," she went on to explain. "Not without the travel'n bug 'tached to it. Can I have a Dora Explore doll instead?" Well the mother reached down, picked the white jeep up and smiled. "Yes honey, you can have a Dora doll. I'll get this for daddy, okay?" The dear child looked up, her hands now resting on her hips. " It won't make daddy happy you know. It don't got no travel'n bug on it. Daddy gonna be so dis'pointed," and she took a deep sigh. We exchanged glances and I simply smiled. "Kids! They say the darnest things, don't they? Keep on caching," and I left them to find the Dora doll. I did go back, but the jeep was gone. I think that will be as close as I'll ever get to another one. I still wonder if 'daddy' got excited or not by his daughters find, and his wife's gift. But I'll know next time. If I see a white jeep, Travel'n bug or not, it's mine! Cache on!

+Rick618 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I've worked the shelves at numerous walmarts. It becomes a whole new cache hunt to turn the corner and see the full box of cars. To then start stacking the various blue, black, etc "others" out. Just a very few times does the single white jeep show itself. There still out there. I've even seen them sitting still in the box on the dash of a car I parked next to. I've found 4-5 of them and someone offered a significant amount for one. I paid for the shipping.

+dhenninger Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Never seen one in Wal-mart. I have looked many many times Quote Link to comment
+LaughingTerry Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Caching around Boston I ran across a TB tag for a white Jeep but the Jeep was missing and according to the logs it had been missing almost from the beginning. I drove to a Walmart and looked in the toy section. Wouldn't you know it there was a white Jeep! I hooked the tag on and sent it out as a real Jeep once again. I found 2 or 3 more white Jeeps at different Walmarts but gave them all away. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 It was googled image of Tonka Toys jeeps (I think it was Tonka), I can't link it, it's commercial! You should be able to find them in a toy store. It is not a preview for next year. (I have no information on future contests at this time.) Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 We have a brand new Wally World opening just down the road tomorrow. I'm going to go there and see if they have any white jeeps. Quote Link to comment
+Wojo1024 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 We just found one of these in a cache the other day. Being relatively new to this, we didn't know what it was we found other than that it was a travel bug. Too bad the contest if over! Quote Link to comment
+MAD-MUFFIN Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 What size do you want? Super Size Me! Is that jumbo-sized Jeep a preview of what this year's WJTB's will look like?

+ZackJones Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Just a quick follow up to my post on the 21st. The brand spanking new Wally World that just opened here in town doesn't have any white jeeps on the shelf. It wasn't a totally wasted trip though as I did score a FTB* on some popcorn at the snack bar *First To Buy Quote Link to comment
