While I love the caddyschack car...lionel dropped the ball here. It's not "It's All right" the theme song by Kenny Loggins is "I'm Alright". I do not believe the words "it's all right" are ever spoken in the movie. Epic fail Lionel!

Unless there was an issue with the rights for the song title. One would assume since the car is likely licensed that it should of be "Alright". I noticed that too though. Perhaps there is still time to correct this. This looks like the same printing for some of the other Father's Day and Personalized cars and such so can be easily corrected.
Git 'r done!
Besides who in the heck wants these cars? Cheap cars with over priced stickers.

Yes, they said the same thing about the York car that sold out in 15 minutes. People collect car. No sure of the Caddy Shack choice but the HP and Coke sells.
As far as I know, song titles cannot be copyrighted. Lyrics, of course, can be copyrighted.
This could be an issue with lyrics. I'm sure we'll hear more about it.
I am not a fan of licensed cars in general, though I have a handful. Apparently though, they are good sellers for Lionel or they wouldn't keep making them. Different strokes for different folks.
I'm sure I'm in for the 2 Disney, maybe the Caddyshack if they address the quote goof others have mentioned.

Gotta agree with Bossman too. "It's All Right" is a glaring error on the Caddyshack boxcar. I have to wonder how Warner Bros. and Lionel could let that go into final production artwork? Lame. Shaking my head.
It's the equivalent of having an E.T. the Extraterrestrial boxcar that has "E.T. call home" printed on the side. Lol!
Were is Carl Spackler (Bill Murray)???????
Safe with this current selection, but put a Civil War general or World War II general on a side of a boxcar and I am buying.
Lionel dropped the ball they should have had an Aquarium car with a Snickers bar as the Caddyshack car.

Baby Ruth would have been more appropriate.

Oops. Right you are.

LOL! Unfortunately, Lionel has been unable to find a Chinese factory that knows how to make good Aquarium cars anymore. The latest models have been been poorly lit (or not at all), don't function well, and the images don't properly fill the car's windows. Did I miss anything? But they're not shy on price nonetheless.
Perhaps they should call MTH to see which factory they're using, since the MTH aquarium cars have fared out very well over recent years.
Until then, it's probably best that Lionel stays with the basic boxcar offering.

They're silly looking.

Silly is in the eye of the beholder I guess.
I will be getting all of the Hogwarts House boxcars!
"It's All Right???" Makes me want to shake my head and say "Gunga Galunga."
Lionel must not have to sell many of these to be "profitable." I am with the crowd that says...really?
Nassau Hobby...how many of each do you expect to sell? I am just trying to gauge the market for this sort of fantasy stuff.
Thanks for any kind response.

Those paint schemes have not been on the O scale 50' Modern Boxcars from Lionel. Berlin Mills Railway in original deep green, Boston and Maine 1980's blue, CENTRAL VERMONT in GTW blue, and 1990's GUILFORD MEC or BM would be great on the LionScale 50' Modern Boxcars.

This is one of the Central Vermont schemes that can be applied to the LionScale O Scale 50' Modern Boxcar.

Caddyshack would translate better if there were 1/32nd scale figures based on the movie's characters on flat cars and many sound clips from the movie stored on several chips then played back on miniature speakers next to the character figures. A button or a remote control could be used to start the dialogue between characters for many scenes.
