Here is an update on all the Next Gen racers out plus all the variants.

Thanks, “Bobby D,” for the photos. Presumably this is a one-shot error but keep a lookout …  

Thanks for the heads up, “Paul C.” Preview of the next singles … Heyday Smokey (first time on singles card – previously a 2-pack). Leroy Heming – first release ever.  

Thanks for the photos and heads up, “Samuel K.” It looks like 2018 Tow Cap JD Pillar is a variant from his 2017. JD Pillar now has window supports on the back window (as he should have had all along). A little hard to see as he;s in the dark zone of the 11-pack but it […]

It looks like Canada is starting to get 2019 CARS already – it’s looking likely that the current design motif is continuing though 2019 … though based on the poster, are there new “banners” sub-categories? (I don’t keep track of the banner sub-categories). It looks like a fun design.

Thanks “Samuel K.” for the heads up, the Thailand re-release of Bobby Swift is definitely a variant. It’s hard to tell when next to each other, he definitely more purple than mauve (left is 2017 Booby Swift). Also his windshield has a dark outline so it looks pushed in but its just the black outline […]

The first 4 singles XRS Xtreme Racers Series Diecast Singles are available on Amazon Lightning McQueen XRS Cruz Ramirez XRS Jackson Storm & Barry DePedal (RPM).

Thanks “Jeff B” for the heads up. He spotted these on eBay … It looks like the Demo Derby with Accessory series is returning. Yes, they are odd in the 2017 card design but I guess if the warning legalese needs to be that giant block of text, why update it with a screenshot that […]

A much better/larger preview of a new diecast Expanded Universe Series – XRS – Extreme Racing Series … Official description: ‘XRS Mud Racing die-casts! Inspired by Thunder Hollow, these favorite character vehicles bring innovation to competition play and collecting and can tear up the demolition derby track and do big off road damage! Each 1:55 […]
