OMG! You actually have Slumber Party and Danger Dive!!! Consider
yourself priveleged. I disagree with others in here that Checkered
Flag is hard one to find. I can't seem to *stop* finding it, but I
have never before seen even a picture of those first two, and I have
done quite an absurd amount of research now. This is an exciting post
to me, as I've searched so hard with no luck. It's nice to see even
these tiny glimpses. Is it possible you could get some sharp pictures
or scans of them for us (boards and tape faces)? I have all the other
ones, but still haven't seen these. Prom Date is the only other one of
the 12 that I know of, or that anyone else online that I've found so
far has heard of.

The order I've seen over the last 5 or so months of searching, in
terms of rarity from most available to most rare is:

very prevalent:
Checkered Flag
Rock Tour
Mall Madness

occasionally available:
Dragon Master
Scavenger's Gold

hard to find:
Chopper Chase
Ghostly Estates

extremely hard to find:
Rocket Race
Tank Battle

- this is where my have-list ends -

impossible to find:
Danger Dive
Slumber Party

mythical:
Prom Date

A few people actually claim to own Prom Date on boardgamegeek, but
when I asked around in there, all I got was silence. I have some
suspicions about the scarcity of the 2 girl titles. ALL the girls I
knew growing up were completely uninterested in gadgety toys, and
furthermore, whereas all the boys I knew were pretty into collecting
and hoarding, I've almost never met a girl who was this way. Most of
the guys I know now have big collections of baseball cards, or comic
books, or mp3s, or retro video game roms, or etc. I don't really know
any girls with collections like this. I know some who say, collect
"frogs," or "things with flowers on them," and that kind of thing, but
this is more asthetics-based, and isn't something you can "collect all
of," whereas it has seemed to me that men really seem to get behind a
product line and want them all, just for the sake of "set completion."

Boys obviously wouldn't want the girl titles growing up, and girls who
got them either wouldn't be all that fascinated by them (not every
girl of course, just by and large), and would likely have given them
away, or sold them, or (gasp!) thrown them out if they did have them.
I hope this doesn't come off as sexist, as it isn't intended to be so
(if anything, it's somewhat anti-male, in that I've pointed out our
somewhat prevalent and insane hoarding trait). This is just me
spitting out trends in the genders I've noted over the years. It's
just far more common for grown men to still have all of their original
GI Joes and comic books (in perfectly preserved condition, no less)
than it is for grown women to hang onto boxes full of My Little
Ponies. Well, until we get married and our wives make us get rid of
the junk :)

I would also like to note at this point that multiple Tank Battles and
Ghostly Estates is quite swoon-worthy for me! Your collection is hot!
