Rare cars - and a sneak peak at Flash

Reading yesterdays post you could get the feeling that I´m a bit disappointed in the election of Janne Flash Nilsson as the Swedish car.
In that case... you´re completely right!

Just think of a black Lotus F1 with the name Ronnie and a swedish flag... mmmm.... ok - note to self: stop drawling, the keyboard is not built for it.

Down below you´ll have a sneak peak at Flash anyway. (Yes I´m excited about it nevertheless)
It´s 2:00 in the clip, but watch the whole thing, there are a lot of expensive diecast models in this movie.
You´ll see the rarest Pixar Cars diecast models and you´ll also get a brief introduction to each one in text. You´ll ALSO get some piano music. I´m sorry about that.


So the cars are:
* Blu-Ray Dinoco Lightning McQueen - only 15 000 ever made.
* Zemak Lightning McQueen, or Motorama Lightning McQueen - something about 500-2000 ever made.
One is in my garage. Whooo-aaa!
* Red Ransburg Lightning McQueen - 1 original and 50 copies.
* Super Chase car Flash - something about 3000 ever made. Release this spring
* John Lassetire - exact numbers of copies unknown but guesstimates says around 500.
* Mac iCar - only released in the super set Motor Speedway of the South, never as a single - therefore there´s only 1000 copies. Watch out for custom made replicas.
* Lightning Storm Lightning McQueen - 7000 copies and one of them is in my collection. 

The San Diego Comic-Con 2008 special comes in a nice case.
I paid almost 90 USD for Motorama - still a bargain, the cheapest on eBay right now goes for 150 USD.
