No, the other cars are not listed on the web site. We are assuming that they
will be released, but LEGO has not released them. The sets were found by
entering alternate numbers into the URL field. The speculation is that LEGO put
these images onto the server in preparation for their release. I guess that they
figured that no one would see the pictures because there are no links that point
to the images.
Excluding minifigs might be a way of keeping the costs down. Minifigs usually
run 1-1.25$ per figure, right?
