Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: The (Mater Saves) Christmas CARS
In 2009 (last year), these were available at Target – the singles packaged as the “regular” Storytellers and one box set.
NONE of these are available at Target this year.
Target is only getting THIS BOX SET – no singles this year.
Luigi with hat, Guido with present and Fillmore with lights is NEW this year and NOT available as a single elsewhere.
Ramone with red ribbons is repeated from last year but the ONLY place to buy him this year is in this box set.
“Holiday Hotshot” Lightning is also available in the Santa Car Box Set – thus box set is ONLY available at Toys R Us.
This box set contains the SANTA CAR – available nowhere else.
The Whee-Hoo Mater is available as a single this year from Toys R Us.
The sale is over but they are still available online:

Found the Christmas 5 set at Target in Northfield–$29.99. They had quite a few. Had to buy it, I have been waiting and searching for a long time–finally.
Do you know the DCPI number of the Mater Saves Christmas Target 5 car set. Let us know. Thanks.
I still haven’t found the Target box set and noticed yesterday they took the shelf tag off for it. Not sure what that means
I think it means, “go check the Christmas aisles.” That’s where last year’s set tended to be, though this year’s was on the shelvesin the CARS area of the toy section. Also check the endcaps in and near the toy section; that’s where my Target had 20 of their 25 9-packs, on an endcap over by the bicycles.
Good luck!
Managed to get ’em all (except for greenish Sheriff, which I’m not interested in). Gonna be quite a layout under my tree this year!
Still 5 copies of the 2010 set on the shelf at my local Target.
Do you know the DPCI of the Mater Saves Christmas Set. Let me know
TRU should have dumped Doc with the stocking cap and demanded Sally with Red Stocking Cap. What’s a guy to do without his main squeeze around for Christmas?
Finally broke down and bought the TRU set the other day. Too hard to pass up the Santa car!
Whew! All up to date on this one. (Except the greenish Sheriff. I didn’t care for it — kind of sickly looking. Will I get 64 plus comments disagreeing with me on that comment?)
Ah yes, Greenish Sheriff. Brought to you by the same geniuses behind Pinkish Radiator Springs McQueen.
Yeah, either he should have been green last year, or they should have left him black. I feel robbed of eight precious dollars.
While I too prefer the Black guise of Sheriff, unfortunately I think the greenish one is more correct. Have looked carefully at the book there is definitely a greenish hue to Holiday Spirit Sheriff, although not quite to the extent of the 2010 diecast.
Anyway – Collect them all! 🙂
Is it also like RPM with Yellow-ish Eyes?
No, he just has jaundice.
