Movie Moments

Unlike the 2007 Supercharged collector poster and Desert Art Original Factory Sealed Set, the World of Cars series marked the first time the "Movie Moments" 2-pack assortment was not marketed on the "mainline" level; in addition to not being present on the poster or given collector numbers; This notably was also the only year where Movie Moments were still available to all countries and retailers.
