There was a short feature in the latest Newsweek, mostly based on the lead nugget that Mattel now had a larger stock market capitalization than GM, the “real” car manufacturer. Good for Mattel, not so good for GM. You can read the entire story here. Of course, there’s not any mention of the Pixar CARS […]

RacerGuyInSD … (who I presume is in SD 🙂 ) sent us the first cage bin of death of CARS at his local TRU … Though a full set of Race O Rama cards with barely a glue mark is worth something … or if you have no scruples, put in a unauthorized Red Ransburg, […]

It’s going to be a crazy 2 months of CARS stuff at Wal-Mart, we might as well buy an RV and just camp out in the parking lot … and while, some WM’s may have delayed putting out the endcap because they ordered way too much Halloween black roses and candy … in a few […]

Yea, it looks like they stacked them next to the regular Mini’s in the stock room, waiting for peg space … finally realized these are Halloween merchandise and there are only days until Halloween … And actually if you buy the three Halloween mini’s here plus a Race Rod pack, you pretty much duplicate all […]

A quick trip around Targets proves that Storytellers is by most measures a MASSIVE HIT and the shelves are bare. The most obvious question is when is the re-stock coming … and there is a re-stock coming, right? While we know there is a second wave coming – not sure when but maybe even before […]

This ad above on Toon Disney’s website pretty much contradicts the info they put in the press release. Because at 5:00 PM on the West Coast feed, the show airing is “Power Rangers Jungle,” while the 7 PM show seems more in line with “Howl & Shriek Week” with a short called “Miniscule – Apple […]

Coming in December with CHASE IMPOUND SNOT ROD (no surprise …) NOTE – It’s listed as Whitewalls McQueen but it might not be the Whitewalls McQueen in the Movie Moments but rather Radiator Springs or Crusin’ McQueen which is referred to internally as whitewall McQueen so until we get more info or the box ships, […]

Last week, we asked people to submit what they thought DARTH MATER would auction for? He went for $10,000! And who guessed the EXACT AMOUNT? “miller.tj” Come on Down! He/She guessed exactly $10,000 – someone we all want to hang with at the roulette table … so Miller TJ, we’re sending you an email right […]
