Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Lenticular Check Lane Short Cards
You ignored them as WOC Check Lane’s – you cold-shouldered them as Race O Rama Lane Mates and now you can scorn them as Lenticular Lane Mates … yes, it’s the one CARS line that just would not die …
Ta-da!
Yes, the oddity freak of the CARS lineup … it is ALIVE! It would be one thing if Mattel shuffled off the townies to this lineup or even made an effort to actually sell them to a retailer as a check lane item (like drugstores or supermarkets) but nope, while it seems to be a quasi regular item at Kmart & has shown up briefly at Target and maybe a few other non-traditional retailers but overall – not on a consistent basis. In theory, this should be the perfect lineup for drugstores with mostly the townies and stores can fit in an extra row on the pegs but no, Mattel seems to make no real effort to sell these to anyone yet continually designs cards for these … weird.
While not particularly exciting – at least this lineup of mostly the townies makes sense … the 7 you see above seems to be CASE A. Anyone see any others in the lineup above?
Er, collect them … oh never mind.

have only seen these at Belk’s here in Texas so far, and they were $4.99 ……
one Walmart has 2 endcaps, 1 sidekick, and a shelf full of lenticulars….. I am guessing since they don’t have enough yet, I will find these in the checkout lanes too…
maybe its just looking at the googly eyes, but these things make me queasy….. please make em go away …..
hey now, heres a thought, 5 non rubber kmart cars, then 16 rubber tires, for a total of 21 piston cup re-releases, so i guess the rest will be these Lenticular’s–thats about par for mattel, after all what good is apple if the eyes dont move.
Long Card, Short Card, it’s still crap.
And a dollar more.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!
bah . . . HUMBUG!!
saw these at beall’s late aug. and sept.
Saw these today at Kohl’s, along with about 8 Gils, 3 Nitroades, and a gang of the three packs.
These are at my local KMart…PASS
I have explained that we never get anything new in Ireland before, I am still seeing Supercharged and Desert Art cards every day! Well I walked into Smyths yesterday and it was full of Lenticulars! Mixed in with all the old stuff so I bought DJ and Sarge. I know I don’t like them either but I didn’t have these guys and I’m ten cars away from being caught up!
PS. I have never seen a single hauler in the wild not one of any sort! (Yeah, we have playsets I am talking about team haulers, Jerry etc)
Stoopid googley eyes are ruining collecting for me!!!
Hey where’d your Gravatar go?
These have been in the checkout lanes of my Wal-Mart for a while. Not even worth looking at since there are no non-Lenticular Chase Cars. 🙁
First? Saw a shipper of these at W-M yesterday!
Don’t you hate when that happens! 😡
Don’t want these. I’ll pass.
