Other than the " Distribution of characters may vary by location" bit, that's great news!

I have a feeling that this is more of a wanting to sell the waves they have stockpiled in warehouses rather than us seeing a true continuation of the vintage line up. I sure would love to see a driver on a TVC Cardback though. Disney might not be liking all that merchandize sitting their either.
