i dare say those other minis are factory made counterfeits, same as what has happened with pixar cars for the last 8 years. the most surprising thing to happen with cars was the small mattel ones being sold with decals later used on the larger disneystore diecasts. so the faking had to include scaling down the decals as well. even now, cars are rolling out the factory backdoors on a regular basis. as soon as mattel shuts down one, someone else starts up.

i was wondering when this would start. am surprised it hasnt happened with the diecast, wooden and trackmaster ranges.
