An pricier too.  Since all you're getting is a Lucas label and a set of cell 
caps
you might just fashion your own 'Lucas' battery by peeling the labels off your
Walmart version and sticking on a new label and some caps from a non-sealed
battery:

Some I've seen even cast the lead cell connectors for a really authentic 50s
look... my version is more mid-60s.
