| FiveBearRugs Thu 1/8/2009 11:08a | They are...around 2002ish, Disney released the Wild Racers 2-packs. Most of the packs had a theme to it, such as Pals (Mickey/Pluto), Challenge (Scar/Simba, Cruella/Dalmatian, Jafar/Genie) and Villains (Hades/Chernabog).
There was even a Shere Khan 18-wheeler carrying case for the cars, as well as a Kaa stunt track: it had a loop the loop and your car had to avoid being hit by his tail.
Apparently these didn't sell as well as Disney would've liked and they were discontinued. They popped up at the theme parks a few years later, albeit with the Disney Racers name and in single packs. |

Jawa, At-At, Jango Fett, Lando (skiff), Watto & Indy.
Follow starwars.com link for pictures. Jango looks like a repaint of Boba. I'm liking the Jawa. Enlarge the picture of Indy & check out the treasures from the 4 films on the back of the racer! Pretty neat.

| Mickeymouseclub Mon 6/8/2009 6:33p | I can understand I am seriously wanting to start a new collection. Something about holding one of those metal cars in the palm of your hand. And each one is unique. ANd thinking if only I could own the life-size version...Is that kind of what a CARS addiction feels like? I wonder if any of the companies have a Museum with every product on view. |

| vbdad55 Mon 6/8/2009 8:31p | the quest for one of each is a driving factor...plus I am a CARS and a cars guy. My wife will tell you I've owned way too many of the real things over the past 30 years also
plus there aren't many things these days you can collect for only $3-$4 a pop |
