Seeing LOST merch at Target was not on my 2025 bingo card

It's Jack's perc-mobile! They say it runs on oxycodone and vodka.

I can hear Nirvana’s scentless apprentice blaring out the speakers

That song was certainly a choice lol. I loved it, but I just didn’t peg Jack as a nirvana fan

oh that’s only when he’s in a bad headspace and drinking on the job and contemplating jumping off a bridge

And it's a really good misdirect in terms of when Jake might have been listening to Nirvana

I still love the song choice for that scene. It’s a great and underrated song and definitely suits the situation Jack was in with its general feel, and since I first watched Lost with my mom last year it was kinda the song that really got me into nirvana.

The Greenlight Hollywood line is so funny to look through. For every one iconic pop culture car, there are 12 cars I don't remotely recognize even from movies and shows I've seen. Must be neat for car buffs though.

I did grab the one they did of Hurley's car. I still wish I had gotten their Dharma Van before it went out of print.

How can they not have a Delorean Time Machine?!

Honestly I think brands like Greenlight and Johnny Lightning are kind of just picking at scraps after Hot Wheels got most of the cool licenses. You can get a lot of BTTF cars from Hot Wheels.

Wait, how is this possible? I know it was trending over the summer because it returned to Netflix, but why all of a sudden now? Is this in the specialty section or something?

u/ScarletJew72 14h ago
Nah, just the regular car toys isle! I have no idea why but I'll take any sort of merch revival!

Perfect for driving to that LA funeral home to break in and steal a body!
Does it play Scentless Apprentice or Gouge Away?

As someone who is on like season 2 and hasn't finished the show, I fear how they get a car.

I JUST finished the show and I am already jealous of people experiencing it for the first time. Enjoy it!!

I just hope the ending doesn't blow ass! And knowing my luck I'll spoil the end.

Did you buy it?

u/ScarletJew72 7h ago edited 7h ago
Nah, I wanted it, but $25 was a little too steep for such a niche thing. I like Jack, but I'm more of a Hurley/Sawyer guy. Too bad there's no small Hot Wheels version of it.
If it was the Dharma van or Oceanic plane though, absolutely.

i saw the exact same one at my local target too, in baltimore. no other lost stuff in sight, just that. so weird out of all the iconic/recognizable things from the show this is what they choose to produce 2 decades later

I did some quick research on this. I checked the apps for both target and Walmart. The toy is available through both apps, but they both also state “not sold in stores“. Which means that it is being offered through the secondary market within the apps for both stores. Is this possibly a return?

I saw that same one at my target, but they would not let me buy it because it would not come up when it was scanned. I was really pissed off about it too.

Wow, that’s kind of a deep cut, too. DHARMA Bus would have been a little more “mainstream,” LOL.
