I think this beautiful illustration from Caitlin/FPG sums it up nicely …

The squirrels took over the asylum but order has been restored …

So, yea, this case B above … um, not. The original CASE B was and is still CASE B.

Chick Hicks (1)
Shifty Drug (2)
Tank Coat (1)
Vitoline (2)

And yes, the CASE C you ordered is still the correct case C …

And CASE D will still be available as is …

So, what happened? Well, apparently sales got the new sheet and started selling based on that info and it took ALL this time before it got straightened out as it seems someone jumped the gun … the CASE B listed above is CASE B for later this year after they transition the card design.

Also note, Pit Race Off will then no longer be available to the big three BUT available to EVERYONE else (ie: The Alternative Channel in Mattel’s lingo).

Target, TRU & WM will have an exclusive on the LIGHTYEAR LAUNCHERS … (aka: Wheelers) … yes, this is more complicated than sending a man/woman to the moon.

So, what does this mean?

N20 Cola is coming as Pit Race Off launcher but not until late Summer or early Fall.

Rev ‘N Go might be available at the same time as a Pit Race Off launcher AND as a Lightyear launcher – later this year.

It DOES mean that Tank Coat & launcher will be easier to find soon. More CASE B are shipping and should be available to resellers in a few weeks.

AND Easy Idle, Mood Springs AND Fiber Fuel will be available in CASE C.

AND for those looking for Vinyl Toupee, he’s on the list of Pit Race Off launchers coming before 2009 is over. In case you don’t believe it – here’s the UPC: 0-27084-82917-4

Yea. A lot of man power and squirrel brains have been expended to bring you this information. And as my name is Phineas A. Squirrel … I swear things will not change again … unless the Sun comes out or a squirrel possibly loses his nut sack.

How about some photos to make us all feel better?
