Without going over everything written in 2008, I’ll just update some of the aspects of the Red Ransburg/Brainstorm 50 Saga. Keep in mind that what was known in 2008 might be different now 8 years later – I did not go back and make any changes to that post. As noted in the auction recap […]

Thanks “Tony” for the photo and heads up … available in Europe … have these specific racers been released in Europe? We started getting this series in 2012 and 2013 in the last of the Kmart CARS Day exclusives. I know Europe got some of these later but did they get the entire series? The […]

Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a new Mia & Tia … not vastly different but new expressions. Compared to regular Mia & Tia. Cardback. As John notes, only Christina Wheeland is actually correct for the back blurb as the other race fans are from CARS 1. […]

Thanks for the nice pics, “John H.” Let’s get it out of the way – Mattel claims it is NOT a D23 Expo CAR so … It is too nicely done to be a counterfeit. Unlike the country flag fakes or the multi-color LM’s – those were easy to do. This takes much more skill […]
