        Great questions, brownsfan1092... I think I saw a book somewhere that alluded to them and gave the back story... from a marketing standpoint, cynics may feel it's an attempt by Mattel to sell more Cars - they already had the molds from the original World Grand Prix racers... the same mold with a new paint job is going to sell more Cars than the same mold with the same paint job.

          Thank you for allowing me to user your picture of the Francesco Ice Racer single, Homercleez... my single was not with the rest of my Ice Racers as I am not going to open my Francesco single.

            Very nice!!! Also gave in to these but still trying to complete them.. Just a quick question - what's the difference between the regular ice racers and the ones that say special icy edition? Im hoping there isn't much difference tho so i don't get tempted to get the special icy ones

              I'm pretty sure nothing it's just a different card back. They were all released at different times and Mattel I'm guessing love to change things up

                Yes, the only difference is a cardback difference... I have 3 different cardback types on my Ice Racer singles.

                Blank: the original.
                Special Icy edition: a second release
                Download app: a 3rd release with the same yellow stripe download app we've seen since the end of the 2015 Cars year.

                All 3 cardback versions are shown in the lead post in this topic.

                  Oh thank goodness! I would've regretted not getting the francesco single from you @Homercleez!
                  On this side of the world, just can't afford grabbing all the different card back versions @cac1959 but really really nice!
