Lightyear Launchers have shipped … Samuel R. found these in South Dakota … And here’s it looks like open and displayed (Leak Less version). Much simpler mechanism (aka: cheaper). The actual case assortment is unknown as Rev ‘N Go was not listed.

More complicated than a 1962 V8 … Sadly, after removing the twist ties (pink) that hold the three CARS, I borked the […]

I can’t remember if it was under the Old or New Republic when things went to a Matty designed handbasket … There was a great disturbance in the ratio of human beings to personal space … Otherwise known as registration. 6:30 AM – let’s get in line! A theme that will be repeated … One […]

Available at ALL your favorite retailer or reseller. Even available internationally … as the international group pitched these as all new to retailers internationally … versus […]
