Guiseppe or Giuseppe? Who is Francesco's Crew Chief?

I saw the posts in the What's Hot on eBay thread... so I thought I'd check mine at home as well as ones in stores... Here's a picture from Meijer last week:


Guiseppe on the front and the back.

I checked again this morning:



Both have Guiseppe on the front... one has Guiseppe on the back and the other has Giuseppe on the back.


From RCcars5 in post 79 of the thread: http://www.pixarcarsdiecast.com/foru...Bay-2015/page8

"I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but some 2015 Francesco 2-packs have the name 'Guiseppe' or 'Giuseppe (the 'u' and the 'i' switched).

For example, if you look at this seller's 2-pack it says 'Giuseppe' http://www.ebay.com/itm/Disney-Pixar...item487ac266d6

However, if you look at this one's it says Guiseppe http://www.ebay.com/itm/DISNEY-PIXAR...item2a48b9e0a1"

"Hmmm... that's a lil' odd.

I checked the one I got from Get Me Collectibles - it says Guiseppe on the front... so does the one I got at Walmart... now to find my Kmart exclusive 2 packs again.

I'll add more photos later - but it looks like it says Giuseppe on the back of the Kmart version of the 2 pack.

Is this another situation like the Desert Back days where it was Filmore (1 L) and Fillmore (2 Ls)?

This is interesting. I checked mine and they both said Giuseppe.

A bit like trainspotting at that point for me personally.
My desert-back collection is a mix of DB12's & DB16's. Fillmore or Filmore, I don't sweat it one way or the other. But that stems from me seldomly considering resale value. Of any part of my collection, as I have no intent of selling it. But for those struggling up Mt. Completist I can see the informative value (sorta).

I personally dont give a flying fig if its i before u or u before i!

It says Giuseppe Motorosi on the wood version. I'm pretty sure this version got released before the diecasts did at Kmart.

It also says Giuseppe Motorosi on the Meet the Cars Book.


However, it says Guiseppe Motorosi on the 2 pack I bought at Walmart a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the great post and pictures, Fillmore1234! I haven't looked at my Meet the Cars book in a long time.

Stopped at the local Walmart on my lunch hour today... found 2 Giuseppe/Francesco Movie Moments and bought one of them... Giuseppe on both the front and the back.



I'm off for a pint... to donate blood that is.
