Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: FINALLY, A True CARS Singles Display Case
Until now, there have been two problems with diecast display cases – they were either not made for the larger 1:55 Mattel Disney Pixar diecast CARS or if they did fit, they only fit sideways … which I never understood. You want to display your diecast cars & CARS at a slight angle …
So you can see the front AND the side of the diecast … especially with CARS since it has an expression & eyes – not to mention its great design and artistry – sideways, you’re losing 45% of the beauty of the car and especially CARS … but finally, someone has designed a display case with CARS in mid.
Also from CTC – it will hold 110 CARS.
It has dividers so each CAR can be shown off in its full glory.
Hey, these CARS are nice. I should collect these. 🙂
Some people have already wondered if the following row should be faced in a different direction, trust me – it seems visually interesting conceptually but no, you don’t actually want the CARS to off in a different direction on the row below – it’s actually visually distracting and ultimately annoying – you do want them to all to face in one direction.
It’s $145 shipped in the US. It does have a mirror back.
I did not take these photos so I cannot tell you how many Pitty’s might fit in one slot but plenty of CARS lined up to compare. I’m presuming RED should fit based on the available space I can see – CTC is also working on a megasize CARS case.
And until April 30, 2009 – if you place an order of $100 more at CTC (and or if you have an order of $100 or more that will ship in April), you are automatically entered – for a display case giveaway. That includes international entries. NOTE: This is a CTC giveaway, not a TakeFive giveaway.
It is the same size as the hauler display – though obviously with different compartments configured. You can also install the door hinge so the door opens to the right or the left …
So clear some wall space and dust off your level!

Anyone know if anyone has scans of the name of the cars to tape to the display case “parking spaces”? I wish I had saved all the labels that came with the cars….
I don’t know, but did someone win this from CTC yet?
I don’t remember Mini being so sparkly in the movie. Is she supposed to be in this post?
Funny that Dudes… I was just at TRU and bought a case from Hot Wheels…
…Didn’t fit!!!
Doh!!!
I threw some pics on our flickr pool for ya’ll Dudes to see…
Nice looking case. I think it would really stick out of the wall a bit too much for my taste.
Someone on Ebay is breaking up an ENTIRE MSOS set, car by car, and the case is up for sale as well.
Looks like most of the auctions will end later today.
Here’s a link to Re-Tread, already at $71, as an example:

Should say excellent post. Can’t wait to reading the next post!

Very nice, very tempting, BUT that amounts to about 40 new CARS for my collection! So, I’ll have to pass.
The first pics I saw of this, I was reminded of a line Tom Servo said:
“I want it I want it I want it gimme gimme gimme gimme!”
However, I’m going to hold off for now. With vacation coming up, I need to use the funds to save for a plane ticket. I had considered trying to charge the case, but I’m trying to be more responsible with my credit.
I’ve recently been contemplating tearing open my collection which is 100% carded. I may have just found my motivation. That is BEAUTIFUL!!!
WOW! I want I want I want… How much is shipping to Canada for this display?
How much will the shipping be to the UK the site check out doesn’t say
$4,500.00
😉
Oh yeah, and who is that at the top? Mini?? Nice looking paint!
Holy Mackeral!
I want those sooooo very bad. Traver, will my 5 cases of cars ship in April so I can win this??? I don’t even have a room to put it in, but I WANT it!
The angular disply is amazing – I never thought of that! You can put so many more cars in there and they look so much better. Art to hold the rolling art. These are just how I like my steak – well, well done!!!
No, no, no! Steak should be cooked medium. Bacon should be well, well done!!! Mmm… bacon…
both cases are really nice looking. I wish that was in my budget right now. maybe when my son is older and i can display them, for now they will have to stay in the tackle boxes with labels so we know we have them all.
Very nicely done! Now all we need is the guy from the other post to laser etch Cars logo in the mirror and it will be perfect.
YES!!
Ok I want that, but my birthday and Xmas are too far away. Maybe I should get that for my wife’s birthday….. hummmm I think she wants a motorcycle too 🙂
