"whats secret about it? no green stripe? it still has TH on it." It looks like Mattel has acquiesced to collector requests (demands? LOL) to remove the green stripe because they mistakenly believe that would make them easier to find. It looks like the only thing that is going to be easier to find are messes at the pegs. Sure, it makes a super harder to spot in a case, but any employee hanging cars is going to be able to readily spot one. The door warmers are still going to get most that the stockers miss. For now the prices have gone out of sight because of the perception it takes more work to find one. Time will tell if the secondary price remains high. If it does, it will likely fuel another wave of new customers like 1995. gunslinger gary wilcox

Where is the "TH"?

Any better ideas to avoid the scalpers?

I believe the removal of the green stripe will stop a lot of non-collecters from grabbing cars myself.
