Does someone have a link to the lastest checklist ? I have one that goes through like the first 101 cars - then a lot of speculation on new releases from that point forward Chuki was last one around here in a while

One, I think Mattel was counting on Speed Racer being a hit, and devoted a lot of resources towards that merchandise. Two, last month they released the Speedway of the South set through the Red Line Club/Hot Wheels Collectors Club, which included 36 Piston Cup racers. I think the only singles that have been released since Chuki are Van and Luke Pettlework. No Stall, RPM #64, and Trunk Fresh have reportedly been released as Pit Race-Offs (formerly called Pit Row Race-Offs.) Lastly, in Movie Moments sets, Flik and Flea, Bob Cutlass and Darrell Cartrip, Gasprin and Tow Cap, and Leak Less and No Stall, have been released.
