Ok.. the Sprint Racer is pretty close.. I'll pull it down out of the
attic tomorrow since I need to do some more work up there and compare
it.. I'll also take a pic because I think there is something different
about it, though that might have been something I did..
and yes, the Exxon fig didn't have anything to do with the blue tow
hook.. that's from another set which after looking at the pic I was able
to place a bunch of other pieces finally...
The exxon fig is going to stay a mystery for a while I believe.. there's
no instructions to set 544 or 554.. don't remember number off hand,
though from the pic I don't see having any of those parts and the other
bigger set with the exxon fig I know I don't have parts too.. This
might have been a fig I got from someone that gave me some lego about 8
years ago too... so I might never have gotten the pieces to the set it
came from :(
Thanks for the help!!
