Roger - you are correct... the Lewis launcher does not have the gap in his top front teeth... both the Kmart rubber tire racer and the plastic tire single do (or are supposed to)... I've looked at lots of Lewis singles (both Kmart and plastic tire) and have yet to see a Lewis single without the gap in this teeth.

I received this in the mail today... My Amazon.com order of the Cars Director's Edition...

[Bumper Save]

Now there's a quality box o' fun right there!

[boogity]

lasseter, you look just like a yellow duff wrecks with stars and stripes on, surely you could have come up with something a bit more original than that for yourself, cripes you could even say the same about cars 2 (sorry thats a bit close to the bone, but..)

New Additions: 3/9/12

Here are a few photos of some new arrivals... Chrome Apple customized by Shopluckey, Chrome Lewis Hamilton, and Lights and Sounds Sarge... Enjoy looking at the pictures...































I tried using my DSLR camera with the 55-200 mm lens and took these outside... please bear with me as I figure out how to take better pictures for us all to enjoy.

That Chrome Lewis looks awesome. I hope the Metallic TRU version of him looks similar. I really need to get one of those L&S Sarges also.

Vinyl Toupee UK Promo Car and Poster

Received this in the mail yesterday but didn't find out about it until this evening (Tuesday)...

Envelope...


Vinyl Toupee UK Promo Car and baggie and poster...


On the baggie...


Production code: 2357 EA

Poster:




It will be going into a small Hobby Lobby display case and then into one of my Carney Plastics display cases...

I now have every promo Car that's been released... Vinyl Toupee was the only one I was missing...

Look for an upcoming article on Vinyl Toupee once I get a package containing some custom launchers in the not too distant future...

Thanks for looking...

Nice one on the Vinyl Toupee, Cac. I never got that one since I scored a Dinoco 400 a while ago, and shortly thereafter got the RT KM version. I didn't know it came with the poster- now I'm kinda jealous. I'm not really a fan of all the chrome jobs surfacing these days, but the Lewis and that Apple are pretty stellar. Shopluckey has got some serious skillz.
