It's a miracle. The satisfaction comes more from all the hunting around more than actually having the whole set. Almost all were found on pegs while only 1 was bought in a specialty store (the Renault ambulance which later proved to be very plentiful). There's a mixture of Canadian and US cards (close to 50/50). I can count about 11 or 12 that I would normally NEVER buy (like the fictional cars), and possibly a few more I'd pass because of the repulsive tampos (I am talking to you London Taxi and VW Bus). Anyway that's all. I can finally close off a chapter of my life. I'll also add, I just noticed that the US cars have "Commemorative Edition" while the Canadian cards are blank!

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Congrats on catching them all! There's still one more - the "store exclusive" that showed up briefly at Mattel's outlet but has yet to hit retail... |

Sweet! I did notice that on the box too! The one that has yet to be officially released is the International Brush Truck, which is all-metal. |

Congrats on collecting them all! I've never seen the police bike, or Explorer in the wild yet, or the chase bus, and only seen the fire engine once, but didn't have the money to buy it then, those are the only other four I wanted outside of the twelve I have already, then I'm done....I'm not a completist But I do also want one of those International Brush trucks, if Mattel ever makes up their minds on how to offer them, and if they're reasonably priced of course. |
