I've been thinking about getting this game, so I was wondering if all the custom created characters and vehicles as seen in the Quick Look, such as Mario, the A-Team van etc. are still available to download, or have they all been taken down for infringing copyrights?

O yeah they are still there and number one most likely. Enjoy.

@haruko: Great! Is the online community still active?

@a_e_martin: Nope! Anyone that was left switched to LittleBigPlanet Karting and even then you'll be lucky to find a game.

@haruko: Well that's a bummer. I had a look at LittleBigPlanet Karting, but it doesn't float my boat at all. I'll just have to be happy with the remnants the creative community left behind, I guess!
