Only Vitaly is going to be 2000 or less
The rest is 4000 or less

[carslandfan_88]

I knew the others are but from now on? it will make it more hard as time goes on..

[wintermelon]

Hopefully they are going to have 5 super chase..
I am sick and tired of collecting them. Please don't start another wave with Spain super chase in it
I always have to overpay to get them.

We all know Flash, Frosty and Long Ge is 4000 and according to my friend Memos Rojas Jr is also 4000
so the only one which is 2000 is Russian Racer

now i really can't see me getting any of these super chases.

thank you mattel,you've certainly just quoshed my interest and enthusiasm in collecting these cars now.

Wow... you've got a great friend, wintermelon... It's a stunning Car... perhaps Mattel has had trouble selling enough of the cases with the Super Chases in them (other than case G with Flash, case assortments were not good) so they cut the order to 2000... and I hope this isn't a Russia only release... it just makes me think that we're not going to see Super Chase Cars released in retail stores in the US.

Thank you for sharing the photos... time to revise my wanted list.

If this is going to be a russian release only I guess we will have lots of problems getting it.

I like this one!

This is my new favourite, followed closely by Frosty, then Long Ge and Flash.

I want! and thanks for sharing pics wintermelon

See if your friend can send you more for all of us :P LOL


EDIT: a loose one has appeared on ebay:

Thre are more loose ones of them in Hongkong as well as loose Memo Rojas are available on ebay from Hongkong

Oh no... This has a Russia only release written alllllll over it... Only 2,000 released basically confirms that. This definitely made my decision clear that I'm not going to collect these Super Chases unless I see them in person at a store.

The main problem is, do we even know of anybody Russian that checks out any Cars sites to help us out?

[cac1959]

I'd be surprised if this were only released in Russia... I may be wrong, but I don't think there are a lot of retail stores... my guess as to only 2000 made is that since no US stores got in the cases with Flash and Long Ge, only online retailers such as PCD sponsor JMDL Toys, Mattel didn't sell 4000 of the G and H cases and didn't order as many Vitaly.

Think about it - we saw Long Ge in the US - Long Ge was not exclusive to China.

I think Frosty was big in Australia due to Mark being an Australian racer - I expect Target (Australia) negotiated to purchase them all if they could choose a custom case (Kmart 8 silver series racers minus McQueen plus Frosty)... I'd have ordered that case without thinking twice about it.

I'm thinking about placing an eBay bid for a loose one... I fully intend to open one each of Flash, Long Ge, and Frosty.

Is that a custom card? "Russian Racer" just sounds so...fake.

Chris, I am back. So before you bid on ebay for those loose one, send me a mail. I will get them for you.

that's a good point - haven't all the other super chase cars had the name on so far?
