You had a lot of questions and we have lots of answers … some of them even pertaining to your question! 🙂 I know Mattel would never just make a case of new cars but…. why couldn’t Mattel ship a case of mostly new cars with a few McQ’s or some of the older ones […]

The first go-around of the Storytellers series was a big hit … Make that a surprise hit. Well, maybe not to us 🙂 Hence, the giant gap between Release 1.0 & Release 2.0 but then again, Target doesn’t seem to mind taking down displays only to put them up again later. The new lineup is […]

Of course, the official Apple logo is not a flat gray anymore but a beveled gray … So Aroldo has updated his Apple Piston Cup Racer to be compliant – ready for CARS 2. For typeface geeks, the “84” looks like it’s the Myriad Pro Black SemiExtended font. Myriad Pro is the quasi official current […]
