Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: CARS 2009 Blu Ray DVD Update – Price Drop + Upgrade!
Good news all around for the CARS 2009 Blu Ray “Ultimate DVD Set.”
Amazon.com has dropped the price to $33.99.
Don’t worry if you pre-ordered already, your order price will drop to the new price of $33.99
AND even better news*
It comes with a Red Ransburg Rescue Squad Mater now NOT the Megasized Rescue Squad Mater … though it is NOT the San Diego Rescue Squad Mater as the ladder does NOT extend, & it is NOT rubber tires so if you’re keeping track, there will be THREE FOUR slightly different Rescue Squad Mater’s after this November.
SDCC Rescue Squad Mater (Double Ransburg, Rubber Tires, Extending Ladder, Moveable Hose nozzle, painted hub lugs)
Blu Ray DVD Rescue Squad Mater (Ransburg, painted hub lugs)
Megasize Rescue Squad Mater (different expression)
4-Pack Box Rescue Squad Mater (different expression)
Thanks, Kevin for the reminder of the FOURTH.
And the difference between the Best Buy version and the Amazon version?
The Amazon version comes with a Blu-Ray CARS DVD + the 2 CARS shown below.
The Best buy version comes with a Blu-Ray CARS DVD, the regular DVD + the 2 CARS Show below … hence the price difference.
So, if you just want the Blu Ray DVD + the 2 CARS, click on the links to go pre-order at Amazon.
* For those hoping to skip buying megasized Rescue Squad Mater since you were getting it here – SURPRISE! Foiled again!

CARS
The Ultimate Blu-ray Combo Pack Gift Set
Includes Both Blu-ray and DVD Discs of the Animated Classic
Plus Collectible Die-Cast Cars of Beloved Characters
“Lighting McQueen” and “Mater”
link has pictures of package and the Cars included.
I preordered two from amazon and signed up for the Chase CC to get the thirty dollars off first purchase. Already have the Blu Ray disc from the Blu Ray McQueen Disney offer. So I will be selling these Blu Ray discs. Unless they have the Mater Cars Toons on them. Also there is a 30 day return policy. So should not be a risk if the two cars are not included with the offer.
So let me get this straight, if we pre-ordered it from Amazon before the sale, we will still get the new sale price?
I know off subject, but are there UPCs for the Rescue Squad 4 pks or Megas. I would like to call TRU and ask if they have them & maybe they will hold them for me until tonight.
yes…..
Don’t worry if you pre-ordered already, your order price will drop to the new price
I guess I’ll finally have to buy a blu ray player. Hehe.
We are technology junkies at my house… and I work at a small company that does HUGE home theaters and home A/V in general… therefore, its Blu-Ray or nothing at our house 🙂 full 1080P is unreal!! Animated movies especially…
As I told Nascaranbroncosfan, WM has a Magnavox Blu-Ray player for $98.00……..works great, fantastic picture…….I’d put it up against our Sony in picture quality.
Looks like there’s a purchase limit of three Cars DVD sets on Amazon. Not sure if Best Buy has a limit too?
Darn it!!! I was so looking forward to stringing together 100 Gold McQs for a Christmas garland this year. 😉
As posted above, BB also has a limit of 3
Oops…missed that post. Thanks.
I wonder if they’re also re-releasing the Cars Blu-Ray without the Die Cast Cars. Chances are if this is the only Blu-Ray version they’re offering, then they’ll have more stock come in.
I will be selling our personal copies of the Bluray dvd since we dont have a Bluray player
Man, you can get a Magnavox Blu-Ray player at WM for $98.00!!! Don’t give up your Blu-Ray discs! We bought one for a spare room, works beautifully.
Meh, if I see this in a store I’ll consider it, but won’t be pre-ordering it.
Man… limit of 3… 🙁 But how exciting is this!!! 2 Ransburg and a Blu-Ray disc – doesn’t get better than that
Best Buy: Limit 3 PER ORDER
Hmmm, looks like this will be a somewhat limited release? I just hope this preorder works out… as most that I have done don’t! I have only preordered once from Amazon for the haulers.. and we all know how that ended…
We can hope for the best!
I have preordered lots of DVD’s from Amazon with no problems. Gee I am starting to sound like I work for Amazon or something, yuck! The haulers were a slightly different story since they were essentially a middle man there. DVD’s are their own merch, so it should go pretty smoothly.
Awesome! Good to hear – thanks Monica 🙂
Same as Audio books. But in our experience we have gotten the wrong versions, widescreen ordered and recieved Fs version.
I just can’t do it.
is this going to be like the blu-ray McQueen where u get a code and go to Disney.com to order or are the cars packaged with the videos???
(MET: CARS come with Disc).
the 2009 Blu Ray version of CARS includes two Mattel diecast CARS: The exclusive GOLD RANSBURG Cruisin’ McQueen and the Red Randsberg Rescue Squad Mater.
Hummmmm do I order this one now, but we are not sure if this is the same as the Best Buy version correct? The price is right though. Maybe I should just get both of them 🙂
again as met posted they are two different deals.
How the heck did I miss that. I will try and read a little more closely next time.
Thanks for the update Met.
Doesn’t the 4-pack version of RS Mater have a different expression, making this version the 4th?
(MET: You’re right, forgot that one).
That would be correct.
I ordered mine from Amazon along with the Mater Saves Christmas book. Can’t wait until November! Also, if anyone collects the Hallmark ornaments I think the date they are gonna be in stores is October 11th. I can’t find my Hallmark wish book at the moment for exact date.
thanks for that info Nicole.
Amy
It is Oct 10-11, just found my book.
Amazon shipped my Mater saves Christmas book and I got it yesterday. It’s great but holding out reading it to my son until after Thanksgiving.
yay! im glad they changed mater to ransburg 😀
Well if anyone overseas still cannot get their own copies let me know I will get the Best Buy version ordered for you. This way you can have the regular DVD and the Bluray version if you can play a region 1 dvd.

I have just pre-ordered off amazon.com with shipping to the UK and i didn’t come across any problems.
I have ordered off Amazon UK before with no problems at all.
The Amazon listing is still vague and does not have complete item details. Plus it has the same starting price as the Best Buy listing ($49.99). Am I overlooking something on the Amazon listing that says it’s the Blu-Ray only?
for me its showing:
Price: $33.99 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping
$33.99 is the sales price, down from the original $49.99 price
You’ll notice the savings underneath the price:
“You Save: $16.00 (32%)”
And your point is?
you did say that it was still showing the same price as the Best Buy version? I guess I misunderstood?
Both have the same starting MSRP ($49.99). So does this mean that they really are in fact the same package? Or did Amazon get something with less options included and offer it at the same price?
again the Amazon List Price:
$49.99has been dropped is what the Amazon is showing.
as Met states above is probably one dvd versus 2 dvd of the Best Buy version.
Amazon hasnt ever bee the brightest crayon in the box, and is pretty hard to change descriptions.
Copy n pasted from above:
And the difference between the Best Buy version and the Amazon version?
The Amazon version comes with a Blu-Ray CARS DVD + the 2 CARS shown below.
The Best buy version comes with a Blu-Ray CARS DVD, the regular DVD + the 2 CARS Show below … hence the price difference.
So, if you just want the Blu Ray DVD + the 2 CARS, click on the links to go pre-order at Amazon.
Ok, that makes sense if it really is just a price drop and not a sales price.
Either way, I plan on getting the Best Buy version. 😛
Best Buy Version:

Gonna order tonight after check is deposited
SWEET! But why the yellow McQueen? What is the background on him and the color? Is there a new short coming out?
Right, I think it would’ve been better if they had made another “blue” one. 😉 Especially for those who missed out the first time around during the HD DVD / Blu-Ray battles.
Good info!
