Re: Try to ID what year Christmas this is...
My Daughter just gave this to my Son. I didn't know they re-released it. Cool.

Re: Try to ID what year Christmas this is...
I can't believe that they reissued the original superchargers, I had been looking at them on ebay last year.

Re: Try to ID what year Christmas this is...
They use 3 D-cells now instead of two. Everything else is the exact same: color, decals, shift lever, even the feel of the lever as it adjusts. It took us a while to get the loop set up so the cars would go full circle, stay on the track and then re-enter the super charger. Remember how hard it was back then to not set the thing on "11" and launch them off the track? There are certain sounds that really bring back memories and the whine of those rubber wheels spiining is one of them...and of course the sounds of hotwheels crashing across the room into a pile of other hotwheels is another one. Maybe I'll even let the kids play with the track later after I go to bed.
