(...) The headllights aren't stickers. The headlights are printed slopes, and everything else is stickers. It's very weird. You've probably opened yours by now, but thought I'd put it out there. -Dan Rubin (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2005, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the pic Bryan. Earlier today I went to a TRU and purchased one so I had already seen the box in person. I almost didn't buy it because I think the stickers used for the headlights are very unappealing. I think they make it look like (...)

Hi everyone, I have just returned from ToysRUs in Fond-Du-Lac WI and to my suprise they have some of the new 2005 sets in stock already - including a couple that I don't think have been mentioned yet.
