Order your PCD Custom Racer!

[cac1959]

I just placed an order for 50 3x3x3 boxes to be used to ship the custom racers - the boxes should be here on Thursday... I'll try to get some of them ready to ship out this weekend.

Really nice looking Chris!

If our Cars were just displayed we would have bought one but ours are all played with and although the little one is quite gentle whilst playing they do have the odd crash where paint chips happen. Be such a shame to ruin that lovely paint work

Someones put alot of effort into those, nice work sorting them out

Wow!! They really turned out great!!

The PCD custom racer is in the house!

I received a great package this morning... the PCD custom racer has arrived!











Approximately 39 remain, but some that have been ordered have not been paid for.

I'll try to ship out starting this weekend - I need to buy some smaller boxes more conducive to the size of the Car.

Many thanks to all who have made this happen.

As far as a name is concerned, as GotFrank said, Christopher Smith was the name during the design phase.

pirelliboy and I were mentioning a few possible names a few weeks ago... trying to incorporate bits and pieces behind the founding of PCD by Rippers with administrators MrBrownstone and me (cac1959)... I came up with Ripley Cacstone... but no name has been finalized... we might go with a contest... we might ask for submissions... for now it's PCD custom racer...

[GotFrank]

I think Christopher Smith was the working name. But not sure if that was finalized.

Maybe Christopher Shift... Contest idea maybe? Thoughts o' Admins?

[boogity]

what is this machine actually called?

If the translation from Chinese to English is correct, it looks like the shipment of PCD Custom Racers may have arrived in the US, at Chicago.

Due to various factors beyond our control, the final production consists of only 70 PCD custom racers and not 100... order while you can.

They shipped this morning... I will let everyone know when I receive them.

In the meantime, here are some photos (not my pictures - I haven't seen them yet):

Good thing I ordered mine early! At least you now don't have to worry about having 75 of these in your collection, Chris!

GREAT NEWS!! Look forward to adding one of these to my collection Chris!

[cac1959]

Production of the PCD custom racer has finished... they should ship to me in the next day or so.

I'll add photos as soon as I get them.

[cac1959]

I hope to have photos of the finished custom racer in a few days... I will be sure to post them here...

The number on the top of the Car is 11... PixarCarsDiecast.com was founded by Rippers at the end of April 2011... as a history of PCD we chose the number 11... it might look like a 7 - there are a lot of fonts and the font for the number was substituted during the conversion process (Adobe .PDF file to Corel Draw .CDR file).

I appreciate all the work that was put into the design of the PCD custom racer, from the creation of the original concept art to implementing it as a prototype and those involved in making it a reality... thanks to those of you who have ordered and paid for your custom Cars in advance... I hope that others will order them once the finished Car is in hand... If I end up with 75 of these in my collection my wife won't be happy with me... and I'll be paying back our friend who paid for the production run for quite awhile.
