Yeah, they've been in the Target stores down here (Ventura, CA) in good ole
USA for a little over two months now.  I've seen both Candy Blue (most
common) and Candy Purple w/Graphics (much less common).  I bought one of
both to add to the collection.  I've only seen the Candy Purple once,
they've been Candy Blue on the shelf ever since, now going for $59.95 as of
last night when I was last thru there.  There is also a couple of 1:10 RC
Beetles from Maisto that recently hit the sehlves as well, one of them being
a two tone Sea Foam Green & White.  Even if you bought any of these on line
at $41usd, after tax and shipping, it could probably come close to the
S59.95 at the store.  The only advantage would be to avoid the XMAS crowds,
but the local Target and Wally World has been strangely light this season.
