Blog Trackback from Tom Zahorsky, Johnny Lightning Senior Design Manager - The rumor of marked White Lightning cases coming out of our warehouse seems to be growing each day. Our silence may have added fuel to the discussion, but a response wouldn't have extinguished the fire. We know you're passionate about collecting and appreciate your continued loyalty to Johnny Lightning.

In an effort to confirm that White Lightning's were in fact being inserted at the correct rate, our Hong Kong office suggested that the White Lightning cases be marked. For obvious reasons, many of which you've touched upon, we didn't want the cases marked. Unfortunately, the factory didn't get that message and 1 days worth of cases were marked. This has been resolved and we can let the hunt begin once again.

I want to reassure each and every Johnny Lightning collector that White Lightnings make up 1% of the production run and are randomly inserted at the factory. Once they arrive in our warehouse, the product is shipped using an automated shipping system. There is no way we could monitor or control who gets what inventory, as the entire process is random.
