Thanks to “MJ” of Ohio who saw the flyer first, the website and promotion is real and active. “Buy five Disney/Pixar’s CARS character toys and we’ll send you a Sidewall Shine car!” (in a very nice display case BTW). Buy five CARS character toys at a participating Toys ‘R’ Us location from August 18, 2008, […]

You know, the longer you hold out, the harder you have to work to complete your MINI set … You’re still going to resist? And not buy the 16 MINIS to fit into the “Trev Carrying Case?” With rolling wheels! Trev in case you don’t remember is a 1949 EMD Trevithick Electro-Diesel Locomotive. (named for […]

While it was easy to be initially dismissive of the Pit Row Race Off (launchers) upon first release, in actuality once you opened it – it was quite nice.  Sturdy and works well. You can clip them together to form one race line. As pictured here, you get a CAR and its Pir Row setup […]

Sometimes it’s easy … … To tell if you are NOT about to find “Stickers McQueen” … Or really any other CAR released since Supercharged Boost. Okay, there are a couple Green Ramones but if you look real closely, they’re not just Boosts hanging on the front of the peg but each peg is about […]

With Movie Moments moving to Target, it looks like the 3-packs will absorb some of the CARS scheduled for Movie Moments. So while it won’t be exclusively racers, pit crew & crew chiefs going forward – it does still have a Piston Cup leaning … What hasn’t changed, Cases D, E, F & G. They […]

Thanks to everyone who entered our first Contest and has moved with us to our new site. Congrats to Christine C. – winner of Contest #1 and whose son is playing with the winning prize properly – open & with a smile 🙂 Well, it’s time for CONTEST #2 – and it’s a great one! […]

R Case has arrived and all those that have opened them and places like Children’s Toy Closet which has opened nearly a dozen R cases – ALL have the Chase “Stickers” McQueen or as he’s officially known – Lightning McQueen with Bumper Stickers. So, in theory 100% – make sure if you’re buying the case, […]

The first Lego Death Star* was decent but at $270 for essentially a couple thousand gray pieces was not particularly exciting … And they realized that we wanted more so finally, they have delivered a Death Star you want … You get ALL the best Death Star scenes …“including the Death Star control room, rotating […]

The other day, we put together a visual timeline checklist of the Piston Cup racers as they first appeared … in all of our quests to make sure we have it all and are up to date with everything out, it’s sometimes easy to forget what little pieces of art they are – again, thanks […]

Maybe this is easier. If you are so inclined or have the time, please take a look at the Motor Speedway set production dates (UNDER EACH CAR) if you received your set DIRECTLY from Mattel (or unopened/sealed from a third party). We are trying to figure out if there are “set” dates of production from […]
