Barring the surfacing of some pretty hard-to-find Mexican toys, I
can't see anything being added to the list in the near future. Maybe
a Topspin, Ironhide or Ratchet copyright since I've seen a few of
those floating around recently. I should have bid on that Mexican
Tracks. Although I don't remember the exact Tracks copyright for the
list, I DO remember it being blocked and I've included a very likely
copyright above based on the US version. Reminds me, I have a non-
hasbro stamped Tracks for Esteban =)


All the best
