I'm putting together the complete collection of the 94-95 topper commemoratives. I am using Macs JL guide as a reference to do this. I noticed an omission this morning from the book. This dark purple bug bomg from set A of the 4 car exclusive to Toy'sR Us set.

Actually, thats why I'm doing this series. Most of these you can find for $2-3 each. Not like the Original toppers at $$$ each.

The question is WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? I'd pay $2-3 for each I could find. As of now I have the Red Mirror and the Zamac. (THANKS TO GERALD! :thumbsup: )

Just checked. I have a butt ugly brown one (they call it chocolate I guess) Pretty low number too. 00987
I also have one slate blue one.

They are both yours teach!

I think I will keep my Q-car one though. If I part with it I will probably want to part with the whole set of Q-cars.

I remember when these came out. My TRU would only sell full sets. In one set I got the white "A Bonus" one. All I thought is now I need to find the pink one from the set....

Don't forget the Seattle Toy Show Bug Bombs. Cool models for sure. I love the commemoratives and need to find a place to display them.

I'm doing the entire 1994-1995 Commemoratives collection. They will all be opened and dsiplayed on the wall in the clear cases from Carney. I will put all the cars in the same order as they are in Mac's book. A total of 231 cars.
Ooops...232 including this missing Bug Bomb.....

I did not realize you were working on a complete set. I will let you know what I have and maybe you can fill some holes in.

I was hoping Mac Ragan would comment on this thread but alas he must not be cruising the boards as often as he once did.

Ads to the post count...:( :p .

I'm excited about getting to Kazoo to pick up some more New toppers. It was after the last show in November that I decided to do this. The display should look pretty good when done.

After my next purchase, I will only be missing two or three as well, not counting the Toy Fair and Logo cars.

I think Mac's book also has an error on the colors of the T.N.T. Once I get them all, I will go through and make any corrections to JLCollector.com.

Not sure right now, but I think a couple of TNTs and Spoilers are swapped. I haven't had a chance to check others yet. I have to determine what I'm missing after my next purchase comes in, too.
