Mater the Greater is my FAV Tall Tale, I can;t wait for these toys!!!!
You remember, you wuz there too!!!
Found the Mega Size Toons in Sears toy section Pointe-Claire – near Montreal Canada – thanks to Daniel. Looks like they had just put out a case (2 of each). Looked through 4 other pallets of toys they had in the aisles waiting to open, but nothing from Cars…..
I bought, all Cars Toons, in my Disney Store. They had many, in the morning, but when I came back in the late afternoon, had only Burnt McQueens! …
A colleague of mine picked up all five singles and the three merga size (mater, ambulance and chopper) in the Disney Store in Manchester for me today – £47 in total. The lady serving was apparently really helpful and went to check the back for her as she had one of them missing when she took them to the counter!
There was all the RQM Singles: Burnt McQueen, Nurse GTO, Nurse Kori, Orderly Pitty’s and Trooper. No Mega Size have been on online yet as far as I’m aware.
Update!!! Disney Store has just put them online! get them whilst you can!
http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/keywordsearch/cars%20toons.aspx
Only Burnt McQ and Trooper left, they went quick!
Which ones were there to start with? Both megas and singles?
And all are in Australia.
My wife found Saluting Sarge and Dinoco Mq with Piston Cup today at a Woolworths supermarket.
Hostile Takeover Bank phoned me today as well and he has found all the Car Toons – Singles, 4 parks and Mega Size at K-mart. He took them all and we are gonna split the treasure this Saturday. Good dooges all round I reckon.
Woolworths?
someone forget to tell them to close down?
Woolworths in Australia is separate to the disaster in the UK. The Australian Woolies is the biggest supermarket retailer in the country and very very profitbale.
I miss the UK Woolworths 🙁 was a great place to find Cars
yeeeeah, whenever i go visit a town or city, i always see a closed woolworths, all bare and empty 🙁
NICE! I used to love Woolworth’s here in the US. We had one on our main street in my hometown and they had the photo booth out front and a soda fountain and everything. So cute and old fashioned. I think there is a mega bookstore there now.
managed to get hold of the new lightyear launchers at my local Argos whoop whoop!!!! clutch aid and Lil’Torquery etc….
still need to go in and find rev n go and bumper save launchers though!!!! hope to get them soon!!!!!!
the only thing with agros is u have to ask to see all the cars as they keep all there stock in the warehouse ha ha!!! so i got this one lady to get out all 10 cases they had so i could look through for any new ones i needed!!! picked up 3 saluting sarges and chase ferrari etc
Bless them!!! all the rest had to go back to the warehouse !!!
James x x
I have found loads of Lil Torquey and Clutch Aid’s but never Bumper Save or Rev N Go, would be interested to hear if anyone else had found these in Argos yet?
I have four Lil Torquey Pistons Lightyear Launchers to trade if anyone is interested?
ooo…will have to enquire at my argos, as im collecting the racers, i still need Lil Torquey, Clutch Aid, Bumper Save and Rev N Go!
just annoying how there more expensive than the regular singles!
2 for £15 atm in argos!!!!
Ooo…they are:

Roswell I have Clutch Aid and Bumper save if you want to trade.
i has nothing to trade, and a little strapped for cash right now, so knowing my luck there will be loads of new cars i want out,
and when i get money…they will be gone! 🙁
I have lots of racer spares now both loose and on cards, get back to me if you ever are in a position to trade or buy. I don’t want to make money just cover costs.
well i (should) get paid on the 7th of october,
so will see about it then,
send me an email so i remember

The second KMart day cars (Lil’ Torquey Pistons etc) are starting to show up in Australia, along with Patti and off-green Pitty. 🙂
have you seen any O/S Car Toons?
I saw some Rescue Squad Toons singles today in KMart (Sydney)
All CarsToon (Rescue Squad) singles are out all over Kmart. If its NOT on the shelves, ask them to dig out from the back. The guy @ Chatswood was very helpful and took out the whole box. Some sells them for $11 some $11.99. Good Luck!
Great, now if only we could get these in the US… lol
? US as in united states? the megas have been here for a while and the singles are starting to show more and more 🙂
yeah, let the rest of the world have something for once!
ive still yet to see most of the newish haulers, including Gerry,
the team packs (hualer, racer & pitty), any of the lightyear launchers, any of the chase cars from the lenticular range and at least 2 or 3 of the inpound chases…
being in england sucks! we get everything late!
films at the cinema, computer games, cars!!!!
have u tried ur local tesco….????? as my local one is just getting hauler cases in !!!! with trunk fresh hauler etc!! they had about 4 cases come in last week !!
seen all the other haulers that have been released so far in disney store but looks like they havent had any in for ages
have still yet to see jerry hauler or gil or nitroade haulers!!!
Great finds, Rippers!
I lifted the Disney store stickers to reveal:-
Ambulance 2708476404
RSM 2708476406
Helicopter 2708476407
The Lenticulars still £3.50 but Sadly the Cars Toon singles where £4 and Mega Size £9.
There are 4 TRU’s near me and none of them have had flyers, and no new stock either just a small selection of various McQueens with the odd Tank Coat pity. I have held back so far but its going to be a very painful promo car if I have to buy 5 LMQ’s… What gets me the most is how bad the staff are at TRU, none know of the promo and when I asked one guy if they have any singles coming or out back he said sorry the film is really old now and they don’t make them anymore! Seen piles of Nitroaid and Jerry Haulers the local TRU’s at a whopping £14.99. Also seen loads of Trunk Fresh Haulers at Tesco’s and Asda’s but neither of these stores have had new singles.
Has anyone seen LMQ/Damaged McQ Movie Moments in the uk yet?
Yes, I have seen them at ASDA wallmart
Same in Derry, six singles, no idea there was a promo on and probably not getting any more singles!
I found Nitroade Hauler and Jerry Recycled Batteries in Fenwicks in Tunbridge wells yesterday. TRU in T-Wells still have no flyers or the free poster for the buy 5 get a promo car offer.

How much did they cost Rippers, has the price gone up? thanks.
jon
I got them from Disney Store Bluewater, Kent
Disney Store put there own UPC over the barcode so I can’t tell you 🙁
Where were these found?
Rippers, what is the UPC on the megasized please?
I guess the boat to the U.K. is quicker than the boat to MO. 🙁
or the boat to MT!!!!!!!
I guess that is what we get for being land locked….
didnt see any MTT at the disney store in birmingham yesterday,
they had loads of boring lenticulars and some cheapy looking disney exclusives, but not realy anything else,
was hoping to find Disney store frank!
went in on sat and they had the whole range!! just ask and they’ll get them for u !! they did me 🙂
Yay for you guys! Good on ya RIPPERS – you were FIRST to get them!
