    Hello

    Today at Toys R Us I picked up a mudflap that has his name on his license plate, rather than "Trax". Has anyone else noticed this? Sorry if this is old news, I searched and couldn't find anything about it.

    I think the Mudflap on the plate is accurate to the movie. Correct if wrong!

    Yeah in the movie it said mudflap. The first mudflap I got says "Trax" on the license plate. I'll take a pic of the one I found today.

    I guess it took him a while to figure out how to spell his name?

    Here is a pic you can see it says mudflap instead of trax. The "mudflap" version is all orange with "mudflap" in black letters. Where the "trax" version has a grey license plate with an orange rectangle and "trax" in black letters.

    that honestly looks like someone bought it and did that themselves and returned it. it looks drawn on.

    Yeah, the pic makes it look bad. But it does not look drawn on at all in person. It has the same "font" as skids has on his toy.

    Interesting. The one I got today says "Trax" and I found it sort of odd that they didn't put "Mudflap" since Skid's plate says "Skids".
