And you won't in this first wave. Also, forget everything you know about car "sizes" when it comes to Car Wars. The new system doesn't worry over the old lux, compact, etc.

"Since they are each a different color of plastic, we had to create six different steel tools"

Isn't it the different faces of each die that make each one require unique tooling, rather than the color?

No. If the dice had all been the same color, we could have created a family mold where all of the dice would be shot at once. It is the different plastic colors that led to multiple molds.

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I'm eternally curious about this kind of thing. :)

I second that motion. Was looking at it and thinking "Wait, that doesn't make any sense..." and then when Phil explained the "ohhhhhhhh...." resounded like I was a YipYip.
