Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Time to Bust Out Some Christmas Carols and an Ill Reindeer …
Yea, I know you’re sweating and wishing there was an ill reindeer on your lawn … but hey, only about 100 days until Christmas … bo-lieve it or not!
So ring your silver bells, hitch some sleigh bells to your horse*, put on a big ole red sweater, light some logs and buy this book …
*large dog, small mule or neighbor’s car will all work.
Amazon link – okay, you won’t get it until September but might as well keep a fire going 🙂
And of course, you’ll be wanting some diecasts …
It looks like there will only be 5 singles with Mater only available in the Box Set …
All the singles above + Mater will be available in this Box Set …
Top of Box …
And back of Box …
And yea, you’ll note where it says STORY TELLERS COLLECTION – yes, it means what you think it means …
So, don’t ask for it by name, ask for it by DPCI … should be on the Holiday reset in October-November.
Plus FREE paper ornament …
Some prototypes positioned in the box …
No, not lenticulars …
To see pics of the CARS out of box, read previous POST.
Now, the question you have to ask yourself – will anyone else gets presents this year or will they simply get a card that reads, “A generous donation of CARS has been made in your name to the Self-Urchasing Kids of All Ages Fund. I thank you … They thank you.”
As the old Christmas spiritual goes …
Rhymes so loud and prod you hear it
It’s Christmas time and we got the spirit
Jack Frost chillin, the orchas out?
And that’s what Christmas is all about
The time is now, the place is here
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer
Mater is an ill reindeer that saves Christmas!

Ahhhhhh REAL Christmas Cars. Another item checked off my Cars wishlist.
This exclusive beats same-paints in Christmas packaging, but I still think most of these are ultra unappealing. I expect these won’t be hard to find at the 90% off rack come New Year.
Okay, I really think you are wrong here but here is the bet I will make with you….
When they come out, you buy me a set and send it to me….then if they do go on sale for 90% off come New Years I will pay you for them….
Deal????
There’s no doubt that these will be hard to find after word gets out that they’re on the shelves.
I guess I’ll have to grab one for PirateDad to add to the Costco set, eh?
I have it in writing with witnesses!!! 😉
I guess I’ll have to get Mater’s alter ego and go into “Witless Protection”! Git-r-done!
Hey, your avatar is missing!
pirate dad who?
pirate dad whood?
anyone else notice that the image of MQ on the gift pack is diferent to the MQ thats in the single package?
Yeah, that is Winter McQueen or something along those lines. I seem to remember him from the original post a while back . . . another way to MAKE you buy the gift box!! LOL
Here he is:

babychristiancars, did you happen to catch the link that I posted last night under your comment about never having seen the Mater’s Tall Tales clips?
Here it is again, just in case:

One more McQueen for the hunt, nice one, hope one of you will shop me one to ship to Sweden, no target here 🙁
And would anyone please buy me a Rev N Go.
Thanks
Peter
THESE ARE VERY NICE!! I love that they come with a RIBBON for haning!! Awesome, idea if we decide to break them out of thier snow globe!!
FYI, TRU has the Lightyear launchers on sale right now on the website, 10.99, they have rev N go & Lil’ Torquey pistons, I just ordered them. They also have the rescue squad Mega sized cars but it shows them as sold out.
I was just about the say the same thing! I just placed my order for Rev N Go, some Mega Bloks, and the Toons Playset. Can’t wait to see these 🙂
Just went to TRU online. Rev n Go is out of stock.
Wow! That went fast – who bought 300??? Come on… fess up!
Is it wrong that I’m really not all that interested in these?
job opening – lol just kidding
I am going to have to call you crazy for not wanting these badly… but your animation skills more than make up for it! You are amazing!!!! I love the sketches of the Cars you did on your blog.. not to mention every other one you have done. You have serious talent, girl!
My favorite is still the self portrait with McQueen dragging you along with the price tag on him. PERFECT!
I’m sure glad they aren’t lenticular. Can’t wait to see them in person.
So is it only the box set that’s a Target exclusive (since the singles don’t say anything about the Storyteller’s Collection) or are the singles exclusive also?
(MET: Interesting question).
Not overly impressed with Doc, Sheriff or Lightning, but will gladly buy the box set just to have them all.
Mia Senorita HOWDY from West Valley, Utah….
Defintely NOT the Montana ripoff (jason) we all know and despise
HOWDY!
I am in Belgrade… not Billings 🙂 No ripoffs here! Thanks Nascarfan 😉
As a John Wayne Fan…..
isnt Belfoush, old west cattle drives… (sp?) near you?
No, I think you are maybe talking about Bella Fourche, South Dakota. But pretty much 🙂 Its all the same over here – North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana…
I am about 1 hour from Yellowstone National Park. Obama is coming here tomorrow for a town meeting and then to see Yellowstone. So our town is all riled up! Last President to come to Montana for a town meeting was Roosevelt I believe….
Obama was in CO again yesterday like 2 1/2 hours from me.
Cool! Can you imagine all the places he goes? Crazy! He will be about 2 minutes away from me 🙂 Meeting held in Belgrade, at the airport, just down the street from me.
OK but the really important question is, does Mr. Obama, or his kids, collect CARS? 🙂
Oh hell, and I always thought BellFousch (sp?)was in Montana.
oh well
Nascarfan, your in west valley? we’re not too far from you, we live in Orem! DO you have a pretty easy time finding lots of Cars up there?
Yeap been here for 7 years….
I do have a local Disney – Pixar Email club I run we help each other out and not chase each other around the stores and resale stuff back n forth at rounded up to the next dollar cost.
Or group orders together for vendors and save on shipping, and monthly- or try to have monthly lunches and or breakfasts-dinners.
Costs nothing to join, just a commitment to help our local buddies.
We even have some “Overseas Honorary Utah” buddies…

These were really nice at SDCC.
The other day you asked if anyone ordered Buzz from Matty and whether that Buzz had Andy on his foot. I ordered one from Matty, it came today. No Buzz on foot 🙁
Yeap and Mattels excuse is….
“all of our SDCC items are consider CHASE items”
they dont give a s***.
thanks Scott.
btw I am still needing 2 Buzz Lightyears WITH ANDY on the foot
nascarnbroncosfans@msn.com
wow definitely have to get a FEW of these!! LOL
Must have these, anyone want to add me to their Target shopping list LOL. I love just having to buy the boxed set.
Cute Avatar! Was that for your baby’s birthday celebration?
Mia
yes it was, I put mater and the new sarge on his cake with a bouncy ball with mcqueen and doc I found.
I couldn’t find a mater picture online so figured use this one.
Oh, it looks GREAT! Very cute 🙂 and colorful!
NNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
Who’s Ned? 😉
These are so cute; it’s about time they have a decent offering for Christmas
Sweet – so all I have to buy is the box set and I get them all???? BEAUTIFUL!
No you have to buy ever box set you find. I figure we need at lest 3 in the John’s dads household. 1 for John to play
with. 1 set to make Christmas tree decorations and 1 to keep in display box. Since this is an exclusive I am sure any extras you get would be in high demand. There won’t be any left on this shelf if I find them, that’s for sure.:) just a note: if you want these go to take5aday.com
Ok, you have a point there! what you are trying to say is, the trade board will be rampant with these??? LOL
I think it might be the other way around. With the trading board being rampant with people looking to trade for these. Similar to the cars toons stuff now. I’m guessing the demand will be higher than the supply.
Guess I will be buying the box set after all, as Mater is the one that I want the most… with Sally being #2… and now I see another Ramone that I’d like to add to my collection. How do they make me want to collect them all?
Target buyers know this line well enough to demand exclusives. Seems Big Gorilla doesn’t care.
Long Live Target!
Mattel really missed the boat by not adding Hanukkah Harv with Piston Cup Menorah…
That’s Hanukkah Harry!
QUICK, who can name his 3 reindeer?
I think he was referring to Harv (Jeremy Pivin) the agent 😀
it was jeremy clarkson!
Weren’t their names Moische, Herschel and Schlomo?
But if I am right they were donkeys though right?
ok so maybe I am a loser but I LOVE the idea of adding a ribbon to hang it!
