Preview of the kits are at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=5608.  The prototype pictures
do not show the application of the stripe stickers.  They also include detail
interiors, but no minifigs.

However, I'm not encouraged at the pricing.  Buying the parts alone, from
Brickbay at the average selling price would run around $75-$80.  Other 200+
piece kits from artistians would put it in the similar ballpark price of
$60-$80.  While I have not set prices, these are some guidelines and the fact a
10001 has most of the parts to build two of the cars.

Stay tune for announcement of availablity and pricing.
Great sets! I think that paying $80 for each would be fair, considering the
expense of parts and the labor in stickers,design,packaging,ect.-Harvey
