Snot Rod with Flames - 2 versions

[cac1959]

*Update*

The Snot Rod seen in DS UK has the translucent flames. The Snot Rods available from a well known Dutch reseller have confirmed opaque flames.

Also eBay listings have US carded Snotters with BOTH variants.

I'm still veering towards the translucent version but at this point, I'd be grateful for either!

Many thanks for the update, Enzo... I anticipate I'll add both versions to my collection, open and carded - I definitely want Snot Rod carded on both US and International cardback.

Come on case H... and case R... and...

I don't know that I'd want the opaque one.
And LMAO @ Enzo's comment on the sue-happy toy eatin' Americans. Eventually everything here will be covered in Nerf foam... For legal reasons.

The new packages arrived in the Netherlands. Just found them in stores, the only thing is: I bought several packages of snot rod: I got both colour of flames. So it is not a difference between US/Europe.
See picture! Hope you can see it. Only the lower part of the flame is a little bit transparant.

Thanks for posting your finds. Yeah, ignore the thread title as quickly found out (see other posts) that this was a variant not a US vs EU thing. It's also been suggested it may be a different place or even date of manufacture. Can you confirm the reference on the bottom of each of these? You usually can make it out even in its plastic coffin.

Title of thread changed - both types of flames found with both US and International versions of Snot Rod with Flames... now to just find it.

Thanks for that edit Chris.

Quite. Just have to find the little orange guy now! Interesting to see the eBay merchants are reducing their prices slightly, hopefully in anticipation of a wider release rather than just clearing their inventory.

If reading the car is a problem, the date is also stamped on the back of the card, usually just above the barcode. It's not always the same date as the car, but mostly is only a day or so different.

I've got it. Hopefully this makes any sense: 1166 MJ 1. NL. Y343 Both have the same code. I never look at the production codes so I do not know if this is the right one.

My translucent one is datestamped 0983EEAA. The (damaged) one in the new 994B case I saw today was also a translucent flame with a date stamp of 1563EAA.

Day 98 of 2013 and day 156 of 2013... that's a long time between runs... what's taking it so long to get to the stores around me?

Because of all the Case F clogging everything up.

I would think that planes production may have something to do with the long time too
