They actually look nicer than the photos originally supplied by Mattel … The only color “bulbs” appear to be blue & green … However, as interesting as they look, they have no functionality outside of them remaining sealed … because the bulb shapes are the blisters so when you open them, they remain attached to […]

If it’s not mostly silver with a yellow and red flame jobby, DO NOT WANT. Yep, collection mostly done 🙂 Did Darrell Cartrip actually drive a silver chrome NASCAR car with red & yellow flames?

This is how it begins. The cutting slash of retail capitalism … Woolworth’s replaced a million five-n’-dimes, Kmart crushed Woolworth’s, and Walmart took down Kmart … Monty Wards was replaced by Sears and Target has knocked down Sears … and so it goes … and now, Lewis Drugs has struck the first blow against Walmart […]

McQueen has paid a visit to the “greatest toy store in France.” (PicWic) Yea, makes me sad to see that there are very few giant toy stores left in the US (if any) where you could drive a McQueen into a store and still have room to drive another car through … Oh oh, looks […]
