Thanks for the thoughts, fd44. I just wish the series could be well defined up front. it would help to know if there is a good chance of completing it.

If there are going to be 26 releases (LOL) with many castings showing up several times I would just buy the castings I really love. If there are only 8 or 10 releases, maybe I would try for the whole set.

I was a teen in the muscle car years (late 60's) so these colorful specimens appeal to me greatly. I am not (yet) a case buying guy. I prefer to hunt the retail stores, but as you say, it is not always possible to operate this way due to spotty distribution.

I was just hoping to see a little excitement about the series and some friendly swapping to complete sets. I had my fill of RC2-bashing on a model car site I used to frequent. As deserved as the bashing is, I prefer to dwell on the good points of what is being collected and have some fun.

Later this week I will post a list of the doubles of these castings that I have picked up. Maybe someone will be interested and share the fun of putting a set together.

Happy hunting! Ken
