Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Sarge Boot Camp Box Set – YES, Sir!
Sarge’s Boot Camp – all great.
TRU Exclusive – $29.99 – arriving around the country. While might be hard to find presently, there should be another shipment before the year is out and it might be back online again soon. Sign up for an email.
In a big country, we need big CARS …
And yes, Frank Pinkerton is the (hopefully) rare ‘Joker’ variant where under the knife, they installed his nose under his mouth … so if you’re viewing this on a computer, just turn it 180 degrees to get the right view. At first, I thought he had some desert running lights and some big air scoop … but no, just a butcher for a production installer … “Ai caramba,” is what the other CARS are saying.
Size comparison to Dinoco Crew Chief – no small CAR by any means …
With Todd.
And Van …
And for CARS Diecast Trivia experts, the first box set where EVERY CAR has a identifiable license plate … including TJ obviously – Mr. TUF GUY.
Don’t forget to buy!

Hi my friend! how completely ironic that i would check the site tonight without any prompting! well in so many words there has been a world of things going on in my life. the big bombshell is that I am expecting! sheesh its weird enough to just say the words LOL. Thanks for asking about me… I hope you are well Im still collecting!!!
(MET: Apparently pregnancy trumps CARS collecting … Whatev 🙂 , Congrats! ).
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 😀
I finally got this set today but not at the TRU we usually go to. I called that store and they still didn’t show that they had any on order. The guy that was helping me was able to look up inventory for other stores in the area and found one about 40 minutes away in NJ that had 19 sets showing for their inventory. So off we were to NJ for Sarge and his pals and some cheap (er) gas.
Also thank you to whomever it was that suggested going to Kohl’s; finally found the Fiber Fuel launcher there! Our luck continues…
That would be Samuel. He tipped us to check Kohl’s.
Samuel you’re awesome; thanks for the tip! And thanks John for letting me know who it was 🙂
TRU has the pre-order up for the new Blu-Ray set

WHOOP WHOOP!!!!
I miss Caitlin; how the heck is she??
Funny, my TJ has no sign of a license plate at all!
Ok guys, you want to know the real reason I don’t like it.
It’s too Ghetto for me. The weird colors and the ugly rims.
I’m more of an American Hot Rod guy and would have liked to see
some other sort of cars that Sarge could whip into shape in the Boot Camp.
Instead, Mattel chose to go the Ghetto route or it’s really about
the kids these days who see the SUV’s decked out and want that Ghetto styling.
I’m probably talking more about the T.J. and Frank Pinkerton than the others, but the colors still suck.
Don’t know about you guys but here in Chicago when I see an H3 with over
over sized rims, it looks so stupid, and when I see old Impalas with super
large rims and the car is set high, that is ugly!
So that’s my real answer.
I got an error upside down mouth/grill on the green truck met. I put the pictures on the flickr take 5 page
I just checked my set that I haven’t opened yet and Frank Pinkerton’s mouth is correct. Whew! I don’t think that it is overpriced at $30 because you are getting 4 NEW oversized vehicles and a Sarge without those goofy lenticular eyes and all in a fantastic display box.
Ya know, I saw this on the shelf and I thought, $30!?
Too much money!
Are you serious?? 5 NEW cars, at least one oversized?? $6 per car…you are spoiled in the US if you thought it was too much!! Wait till you see the price on the Story Tellers!!!
Or the new gift pack from Target with the pittys and chief!! $19.99 + tax…!!!
I guess the life in the factory is bored and they wan some smiles, thats why they upside-down Frank Pinkerton’s sour face to )
Does anyone know if these will be available in the UK at all….????
As i want want want!!!! 🙁
These are a TRU exclusive so they should be available in the UK right?
i hope so….!!!!!!
As to when i dont know but not too sure 🙁 if anyone knows any different please let me know
many thanx
James xoxo
yea i wish i could find a set out of the 10 in the store with a perfect paintjob
Wow…they are a lot bigger than I thought! I want one sooooo bad!
I wish I had that problem. Have been hunting for that set in Jersey ever since it came out. NO LUCK. Plenty of Mater’s Tales and Nitroades. Fingers crossed.
Not sure where in NJ you are but the Rt 17 Paramus store has about 18 sets
I keep seeing them at TRU and nobody seems to buy them. Don’t know but they don’t really look Diecast at all… It’s weird… I’ll probably pick mine up by the end of this week.
so why did the pink one’s face change? It looks terrible smiling….if you compare the top picture with all the others….it changes…for the worse. The mouth is too high….it appears that they attached the front bumper on upside down.
yep thats what happened 🙂 he posted that on the other sarge post 🙂
Oh cool, thanks!
So weird though! 🙂
now if only TRU would release that Tach-O-Mint promotion, I’d have reason to go there again.
I found mine on Monday. They are pretty cool. and I was impressed on how big they are. No skimping there. I didn’t even notice the misplace mouth. I will have to check it out later today.
I was so excited to find this last week! I still haven’t opened it since I am saving it for a Christmas present for my son. But I couldn’t believe how huge they all were.
Wow! For once something is bigger than I thought it would be. Seeing those next to Todd really shows how big these guys are! I cannot wait to get my hands on this set.
I have disappointed before…haulers – seemed big in photos, much smaller in person!
not that size matters.. per se 😉
WOW! Look at the size of those tires. You know what they say about Cars with big tires 😉
Does it have to do with the “Driveshaft”? : )
I hear that BIG tires require HUGE lug nuts!!
I don’t know how you come up with all these great ideas for stories, but I’m glad you do. Thanks, Met!
