As noted previously, the cases with an Ultimate Chase have an “altered twin” offering without the Ultimate Chase … Kind of like the movie “Twins.” Strange but at least, it’s comic relief unlike this scary twin film. Here is the content for CASE H. Its twin is CASE V – as in Victor. Instead of […]

Thanks for the great pics, “Kevin NascarBronco.” It does look like this year they at least made more of a showcase for CARS diecast versus just lining them up in a cabinet so that’s a good sign going forward.

Starting tomorrow at Mattel’s booth at San Diego Comic Con … Spot the (Japanese dressed) Harajuku and whisper “Chuki,” in her ear and you get a pair of free knit socks. “Chuki” means ‘middle years’ – in car terms, it’s the middle years of a model design versus early (Zenki) and late (Kouki).
