New casting?? Quick! Take it apart! Posts: 2,218 Group: Members Member #575 Joined: January 6, 2008	Talk about nice luck-----on my LONG drive home Thanksgiving eve, and stopped at TRU for my weekly hunt. Here's a place that takes ages for new cars, any brand, and the pegs were filled with the 2010 MATCHBOX blisters and many new colors!!! I love ANY new scheme for cop cars..... The Evora red looks great! Purple metallic is odd for the K-Ghia, but it is nice anyway! The Mini-van blue is perfect for a quickie custom for you village and city builders....just wipe the few graphics off with acetone and put on you own local decos! As prviously posted by SSCHEVYMAN, there's the Vistacruiser with the spoked wheels, but they went back to the anti-freeze color from the first issue! I don't think I ever remember Mattel ever doing a revamp color of a first issue, then going back to the first issue color in a LATER release (??), and especially on a new BP card. What a nice holiday treat. Have a nice holiday, and good hunting!
	I used to be a genius, but I found out it's a lot less work and more fun to be a redneck.

Thanks for the pics Ivan. PS. Are you interested in a French police car Ivan? Have one here on my computer desk for you if you do.

Micro Czar Posts: 41 Group: Members Member #1,558 Joined: December 9, 2008 Theme Of Choice Default Gender Male Favorite Arcade Game Tetris Preferred Brand Micro Machines Location Washington State USA	It seems to be that the recolor Vista is more a true 70s color than the original, not quite as bright, but just as ugly. Which I think is cool
