Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Mater Tall Singles Next + Price Matching

The Mater Tall Tales singles are on sale this week and believe it or not, many or most Toys R Us stores have even been re-stocked!

TRU

Also remember in theory, Walmart will price match if you bring in an ad so remember to tuck the TRU ad in your back pocket. I’m guessing printing the one above will get you nowhere as our logo will just confuse them. So look for the original Sunday newspaper one or TRU might have them in store. Good luck!

It looks like some TRU’s have received CASE B which is …

Car Toons Singles CASE B

And the C Case which might-should contain the MASKED DOC Mater version?

Car Toons Singles CASE C

Rescue Squad Checklist

This is just the Rescue Squad Mater checklist as Mater the Greater is still being assembled (only 21 to collect 🙂  presuming there are no more face variants).

    Any idea what happened to bucktooth dare devil mia & tia as seen at sdcc?

  • Monica says:

    Met, you think that a WM employee would actually notice the T5 logo on the ad? You are giving them waaay too much credit there.

  • NeoSK says:

    I remembered reading somewhere that Mater the Greater in the Super Stunt Show playset is a plastic one, can anyone confirm? Thx

    (MET: Yes, all the “action” playset vehicles tends to be all plastic – I believe the last one that was metal is the Step on Track with LM).

  • kevin roche says:

    well for the first time i can actually say i have everything on this list but the mater with mask.
    lucked out the first trip and got all including canon ball mater and an error trooper with no eyes, that i traded for a normal trooper and a dustin, so i guess you can say i made out on this one.. FINALLY!!!!

  • swb says:

    for the record at least where i am they do honor ANY advertised ad. the cashier can easily do the adjustment and they didnt even look to see the date i could have been holding an ad from 5 years ago lol

  • kevin roche says:

    have they released the pics of the mater the greater 4 packs yet.

    (MET: Not in box but you can see the pics of all the CARS – search for Mater Tall Tales 4 Packs).

  • Drew Peakox says:

    Got my Gto and both pitty packs this morning, at tru with no site of kori on the pegs.

  • Glenn N says:

    Went to Two TRU locations and they did not have any of them. I would think they would have them stocked if teh marketing department notified the shipping department. My local TRU said they got in one box last Thursday.

    That is a great deal on the stunt show! I wish I would have only had to pay that much.. owell. I am being patient and waiting for the mini speedtrap playset to drop in price. It has dropped a little, but not enough yet!

  • I-LUV-RACE-CARS says:

    Would’nt the doc mater be an oversize?

    • Roswell says:

      i was thinking that, but i think the mater the greater is oversized cus he has a big helmet on and that would make him too big for a single packaging.
      but seems as dr.mater is the same size as regular mater, it would be both pointless and annoying if he was in an oversized pacaging
      (extra cost ect)

  • iamspeed says:

    Met, is Doc Mater in case C the next version with his MASK pulled UP?

    (MET: It would seem likely – not a lot of other formats left but I cannot say it’s 100% guaranteed).

  • Roswell says:

    i need to rant a lil bit!

    just been round town cars hunting…which is bloody dificult when the only places in your town that sells them are supermarkets!
    Tesco and Asda had loads of ROR McQueens…nothing else
    and Sainsbusys had 7 WOC lightning Ramones 🙁

    but i went into Boots (its like a pharmacy shop with some other stuff)
    and they had some cars thing in the gift section, including the new wheel launchers! they had McQueen, Chick, Torque Pistons, Bumper Save and Rev n Go!

    so i need the last three!!! but they are charging £10 each for them…
    …and i am no mug, if mattel are producing and selling boring old same car after same car again and again and clogging the shelves with pegwarmers so the retailers dont order anymore in, it just seems that mettel are trying to fail, how about a little tip mettel; release a case of all new cars and see how well they sell!
    the other annoying thing is cars get released over and over and sell for £3.90 apx as singles, and then mattel takes a character that has only had one quite exclusive release before and rereleases it with a cheapy launcher and charges x3 the price, its practicly daylight robbery,
    and i dont feel i could realy bring myself to spend £30 on 3 die cast cars when i should only be spending £12,

    so, to be honest i dont see why i should bother continuing collecting, mattel, if your reading this, *slaps* NO! BAD MATTEL!!! NO!!!

  • slicepie says:

    WalMart will price match these, I did it yesterday with both the CT singles and the Super Stunt Show. TRU will only price match their own ad for purchases made within 14 days, but WalMart will go back further if you are firm about it. The woman at WM told me they typically only price match the past 7 days but if you were to return them and repurchase, they would match the add anyway so she just did it for me. So theoretically, you actually have a full 90-day price match from WalMart.

    And KMart will not price match anymore, not since the bankruptcy thing a few years back.

    • Nicole H says:

      Target just started to price match. Nearly fell over when I saw the signs up at customer service!

    • Micky says:

      Even though TRU says they only price match (their own stuff) for 14 days, if you return the items and re-purchase them you get the sale price. I did that last week with some of the Toy Story items I purchased about a month ago. I got back $25. in savings.

  • jclimbng says:

    Could someone please remind me where Mia/Tia Dalmation with pearl paint are located? What packaging is the “other” listed above?

    Thanks

  • babychristiancars says:

    WALMART will NOT honor buy 2 and save, buy one get one, % off sales. They also state must be local competitor.

    Its crazy.

    If you get a decent manager he will see the ad and just make each one 3.50 and 3.49, but most will see it 2/6.99 and consider it a buy one get one free sale.

    Our walmart only has the megas right now and NO toys r us within 2 1/2 hours so they wouldn’t take the ad anyways.

  • BMW says:

    TRU had case B for sure here. The shelf did not have any Koris, but had 3 N. GTOs, & 4 Lug and Nuttys.

    I had gotten case A singles at 4.99 ea so took my receipt, and got the price adjustment to the sale price. Saved ~10.00, and picked up two Lug/Nutty packs.

    QC, was a little dodgy as the white stars on several of the tire hubs had black spots on them.

  • jestrjef says:

    I would love to see case C!! Bring on the DOC!!

  • Nascarfan says:

    Nice to see new stuff coming

  • Hostile Takeover Banker says:

    2 for 1 is always pretty cool.
