I received 3 great packages in the mail today... from KK&PP_Cars, LMQ702, and GotFrank... I will post photos later tonight... the bad news is the battery on my camera is dead... the good news is I just found my charger for it, saving me $65 plus a trip to Indianapolis... I'd been looking for it since Thursday.

From KK&PP_Cars:


From LMQ702:


From GotFrank: a custom Cozy Cone Office building and some Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment cars:


Many thanks Carlos, Geralynn, and Josh...

Thanks to new member miller62, we've completed our Maserati collection and we're down to needing only 5 more Piston Cup racers.

Ah, great to see RDMS. I daren't think what that goes for, scary stuff.

Was it a general release as part of the Final Lap series? I ask only as I read (almost certainly niftynigel) that Mattel UK and a certain retailer in the UK (where I found lenti's for sale as new old stock last week) have several 100s of cases of these stashed away in some warehouse.

That is awesome fongkx! Hey Jestrjeff, how does the supply of Wedding and Time Travel sets look down there? My wife and kids are heading to Disney World again in November and I'm planning on asking them to bring me back some sets.

[Ferris]

My sister is there now. She did not have a problem finding them or the Star Wars cars, however, it seems they have raised the price of the Wedding and Time Travel sets by $5 each...because apparently, $40 was not enough for three cars!

Nice additions, fongkx...

Thanks for the update, Ferris... Glad to hear the Time Travel Mater sets are still available in Disney... I hate to hear they are $5 more each - the makes them $39.95 (for the Wedding Day set) and $49.95 (for the Time Travel Mater set).

Another $5?!? Good grief...I was hoping it might actually drop, at some point.

Oh...I guess I am wrong then. I thought I saw that it was $29.95 for wedding and $39.95 for the Time Travel. In that case, I am happy to report they are still $34.95 and $44.95. Sorry for the misinformation!
