  • Do not upload images that are not your own. Images that are not your own require special privilege.
  • Uploading images that are not your own, Is in most cases a copyright infringement and is against the law.
  • Uploading images that are not your own will result in you being blocked (banned) from this site.

Adding Images

  • Images are added in a 3-tier fashion: [[File:Image Not Available.jpg|75px]] as a place holder, to be replaced by a packaged personal image. And ultimately by a loose image.
  • Image quality is important, but a bad picture is better than no picture at all. However, poor images can and should be replaced as soon as possible.
  • Thumbnail sizes are 75px and 100px. Please follow the precedence set on the page.
  • Gallery images should be limited to, detail images, Full card images and comparison images. Please do not insert your images, unless it will provide merit to the gallery.

Line Entries

  • Line entries in the Version Tables are reserved for official Mattel-made regular releases only. If you would like to add Code 3 vehicles, please add them to a seperate table below the regular version table. Prototype vehicles should be added to a gallery. Customs can be added to you own personal page.
  • The version tables work best when limited to actual versions of the car itself. Packaging variations should be added to the gallery.
  • Line entries for cars not in your possession should be very limited in description. Year, series and color only. Please do not add details based on what you've seen in a picture.
  • Tampo descriptions should be brief. List the colors used and describe the general design layout. Let's practice the old saying "A picture is worth a 1000 words".
