Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Land of the Lost – McQueen 1:24 (UPDATED)
The real Land of the Lost movie is starring Lightning McQueen 1:24 who seems to have fallen into a 1:12 scale hole somewhere. No one claims to know the whereabouts or what’s happening.
The original plan was that there would be two versions. Matty would sell a version with real synthetic rubber tires and alternative channels would be able to sell a plastic tire version.
The production #’s were all over the board from 5,000 total to 10,000 for both … 10,000 was simply an unrealistic number – and maybe alternative channel sellers balked at having to compete with Matty at the same price but with plastic tires? So, now it’s only 5,000 synthetic rubber tire versions?
Plus, it seems Ramone & Doc are gone with only Lightning McQueen & Mater?
The only ones that seem to have shown up are the rubber tire versions so here’s one from “TH.”
It comes in an outer white box that reads it’s a MattyCollector item and an inner red box. No acrylic cover.
The quality looks nice but the pricing might be a bit high – @$50?
Grooved tires.
So, everything I said might be accurate or completely off base. No one seems certain …
Hopefully Ramone is not canceled, he might be the nicest of the 1:24 as we covered in this post.
Original post on 1:24 Lightning McQueen.
It does look this packaging below is the “retail” version of Lightning McQueen 1:24 above ( though presumably with plastic tires – otherwise, it would listed as a selling point) … I can’t confirm it as it’s the weekend but it seems logical. It’s up for sale at a variety of places and it’s priced about right – @$55 for the SRP … I’m also guessing the ‘retail’ version does not come with a stand – that is presumably a cardboard base?
Since this is out, I’m presuming Matty will offer theirs soon – after all, what are they going to do with 5,000 1:24 LM’s with rubber tires?
How can you tell it from the 2006 version? Well, in a box, the obvious sign is that it would not read WORLD OF CARS. While the logo was used, the WORLD OF CARS “banner” was added in late 2007. Plus that black windshield strip is not evident on the 2006 version, I believe. Anyone with a photo in or out of box? Thanks. You can email it to me or just upload it to FLIKR.
Thanks for the heads up John K.
Or you can pick up one of the new 1:12 scale Bat Cycle … very nicely detailed …
Where’s our 1:12 scale Adam West?
Or better yet, where’s our Batgirl cycle with 1:12 Yvonne Craig Batgirl?

Where can i find it??
Kevin,
Nice job on the 1:24th Ransburgs and I liek the mini flourescent light as well.
Looks like you and everybody else is doing highly collectable stuff that would be found on Matty if it had Cars product in it.
Go Mattel/Disney/Pixar Cars. I’ll be in Hotlanta in two weeks representing our Disney/Pixar Cars line. If anyone is gonna attend stop by our booth and say hello.
Traver, give me a call when you get there. You have my cell. I arrive on Friday.
Youre welcome.
Wish I had some of the new stuff.
Well, you are doing a layover in SLC international, dont forget the HUGE TRUNK….
Yikes dude, that just sounds all kind of wrong…
I had Raaman1 Customs on ebay do some work on the 1-24th scale Mcqueens to make them into Red Randsberg Version and Bluray Version and a 1-24th scale Rollin Bowlin Mater

you can click on any of those pics and they will enlarge for you for detail. I made the glass case too.
Waiting on the 1-24th scale Rollin Bowlin Mater.
I have been told too that the Bat Cycle is coming in 2 versions. Regular 1-12th and an Elite Version
let me know who has them on pre-order and price please
I have several in the original boxes met. let me know if you need pics
Okay so I saw a 1:24th scale Mater in Ebay that sold for $50. or so.
What is deal with that?
does anyone know what time o day this will pop on matty?
2006 version also. Looks like prices on these will be going up now that people are beginning to realize these are out there.
$50 is way too high for something to just sit on my shelf.
I want the version with rubber tires!!
what is this on Ebay? 400052871078
(MET: This could be the one with the plastic tires? Probably because stores can display this on the shelf. Price is about right. I think $49 or $54 is the SRP).
looks like the above McQueen to me.
can still preorder McQueen, Mater, and Doc at entertainment earth.
there is also a 2006 version with plastic tires that usally goes for around $30.00, so make sure you are getting the right one if you plan on buying from eBay.
Where’s the signature?
$50 bucks. Yeah, right. And no case? Something tells me the stars have yet to align.
I WANT IT!
WONDERFUL!
I think I will stick to the 1:55 scale.
