And yes, there will be a NEW Buy 5, Get 1 Free at TRU promotions for N20 Cola. Thanks for the scan of the flyer, “DisneyCarsFanatic.” It is NOT starting until the 26th so NONE of your purchases count yet! The 5 For 1 Promotions Website is still showing the SIDEWALL SHINE promotion but presumably […]

Now, that our one-night/two-hour stand with Kmart is over and we got what we wanted, we move on to our next target which conveniently has a giant red bulleye … Here’s what your Target endcap display should look like: Pegs of Storytellers, the books (World of CARS & Meet the CARS), the Storytellers Simpletown Speedway […]

For those that missed out, Kmart.com has the following banner on their website. It downloads a PDF which is just the CARS flyer except the words on the top have been replaced with this: Since Kmart.com does sell the Hot Wheels cases after an “event,” it looks like they will sell CARS cases online also. […]

It seems for 95-98% of CARS buyers who were able to get to a Kmart, it was rated as acceptable to good to ‘no one else is here?!’ great 🙂 In my case, there was the long waiting since they would only allow one box open at a time and I was nearly last but […]

Well, it after midnight on the East Coast … Since I’m out on the West Coast, those who hit the 11:00 AM mark on the East Coast as I wake from my slumber, be sure to drop us a line. If you have internet access with your phone, sign up for TWITTER and keep us […]

Sadly, nothing too spectacular – the RC’s of Mater & McQueen (both available mostly elsewhere) … Plus this track which I think is new but not terribly exciting … the Tyco Division at Mattel didn’t even bother with original art – they just added some motion lines to the mainline artwork … um, weak, weak […]

Jon in the UK was kind enough to send us a scan of the new poster from the UK CARS magazine – along with the latest UK promotional offer of BUY 6, send in UPC’s and get a free CAR: Or log onto www.carstoys.co.uk for more details – though strangely, nothing is up yet, guess […]

Of course, nearly everything you want to know about Storytellers is in THIS POST. Since I’m not yet complete on the singles pack, here is the visual checklist for the three-packs first. In theory, Target will put these out on the shelf on the 19th but as usual, it’s like liar’s dice … round and […]

Every Halloween, Mattel creates special one of a kind items to benefit CAAF, the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation for their auction event & fundraiser – Dream Halloween. Of course, last year, for CARS fans, this was the item that really caught their attention … Ultimately won by the President of TRU for @$13,000 … […]

Very nice … now in Target stores … again, it might an item that’s not supposed to go out until the 19th … so it’s either in your Target or will be soon. It’s not marked as a Target exclusive but it’s hard to say with the Mini’s where they will or won’t show up […]
