Would really like Harve (in the form of a blue tooth device.) The upcoming mater the greater sets look great – I scored the ones already out. An a Piston cup raceway that actually could be set up and work…..Need the grandstands too. More of the rustese fans. Lightning Mcqueen’s Biggest Fan. And a two pack of the of the two racers that crash – one on the roof of the other – bent up so the nest together….
I bought a couple of really small plastic cones – one says Git ‘r dun! on the side that I use to make a Sally “Cozy Cone” motel.
I would like a definitive list of which cars will have codes for the WOC web site.
Why didn’t I buy the Speedway of the South set when I had the chance?
Well, since you can’t answer that how about this: will I ever be able to have one of each racer with non-rubber tires?
Yeah, why DIDN’T you buy one? (I was talking to myself, sorry…)
No I think you were talking to ME!!!! man that is one of my biggest regrets..and really that is pretty good if that is all I regret!!
It’s really funny looking back on the SOTS set. I think we were back on Take Two a Day at that time, and people were freaking out at the cost of the set being $299.00 plus shipping I believe, and the whole deal with getting a Red Line Membership Club.. Not too bad of a price now heh…. I did get one, and really thought about two, but didn’t pull the trigger.
The only thing I am missing is the 2006 Factory set, but have all of the cars from it at least. The whole ebay thing with the factory set is ridiculous, with the same seller continually posting the thing for over $5,000.00. Gimme a break. To each his own, but that set in my mind is really only worth about $500.00.
I never could join the Red Line Club, because the site kept saying to try back each January.
I didn’t get the 2006 Factory Set either. At 149.00, I thought since I already had all the desert backs in the set, that it would be just repeats.
Who knew that there was going to be two unique cars on cardback in the set? I don’t think anyone saw that coming. If Dan keeps relisting the 2006 factory set over and over for 5K eventually he will eat it up in ebay fees.. 🙂
The Speedway set was unique cause only about 9-10 of the cars were already out, so mostly new cars. There were so many sneak peeks of the hong kong toy fair set that we already knew and saw the prototypes, and what was coming, and it was gonna be awesome.
And don’t forget the original prototype set that sold for 4300.00 on ebay in Dec 2007, piece by piece. Watched that auction for days, and the frenzied bidding.
Lots of anticipation
What they should have is a “Expression Change Mater”
Concealed in the front of Mater under the hood area toward the front
would be a 4 sided tumbler block that spins and has 4 different
expressions and then rotate it as you wish.
I used to be a designer so I always had to brainstorm ideas about
many products, and try to come up with ideas that other competing
companies didn’t.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO TAKE5 MEMBER “MEGAHEAT2008”?
GOOD QUESTION
He sold everything off and got out of it.
Apple! PLEASE give us APPLE!!!!!
Then the rest of the racers.
I love the idea of a Ghostlight Mater with a blue LED lantern attached.
And, of course, a Darth Mater. That would be AWESOME!!!!!
What about a Ghostlight Mater with a Blue LED lantern attached.
I’d buy it.
In a set with a Mega Size die-cast of the Screamin’ Banshee?? 🙂
The tanker truck that Mack was looking at his reflection in the back of and making faces?
Nice!
…in a movie moments pack with a Mack that you can the change facial expressions…
Awesome! Perfect! That’s a big set…
Mega Size Movie Moments?
Bring it on!!
How about Vroomaroundus Bugus?
List of Mega Size Semis (and Haulers)?
umm?? ..
One word…
“Darth Mader” (in 1:55 scale). 🙂
ok. that’s 2 words + some. 😉
are these coming out ever as regular singles or real launchers
fiber fuel, gaskits, faux wheel drive, sidewall shine, n2cola, tach o mint?
Are the lenticular 3 packs going to be at walmart and will they contain new cars or just 3 of the singles together?
Trying to see if holding out for 3 packs is a better deal.
The new pit crew race teams with the 3 pitties will they contain the same pitties as the 3 packs, just not named?
Is there a fat and wide leakless pitties? Do they have names?
rev n go was it out from kmart days?
Anyone know where to buy the mini courtroom set?
Fiber fuel was already a luncher, but not widely released for some reason, the rest we are waiting, but N20 was shown at SDCC I believe…
mini courtroom is a Disney store product I think!
Sounds like an escort service!
Is this person lost??
I think Mater said it best:
“You hurt your what?”
See the YOU did it AGAIN METROXING…you left my smartbumper comment, but EDITed the thing I was commenting on…which once again makes me look like I am talking to myself like Lizzie!!!
(MET: You mean like this?
you left … the thing … talking to myself
🙂 ).
😀 We all know you are a bit Nutty Pirate… smart bumper comments to yourself really don’t surprise us….. LOL
PirateDad you are funny and I like you! 🙂
Who knew you knew so much about escort services?
Can we get a MET:EDIT here please?
THANK YOU!!
McQueen bobbleheads (like the ones that were in Mack)… they should make them in all the characters.
how about the bulldozers from maters tall tales?
They will be released, but as far as I know they are not yet scheduled. They do look really cool though! The prototypes were on display to SDCC. They will be just like Tractor where you have to get at least 4 or 5 of them.
P.S. – Photo here
Thanks Monica,
That’s right Mattel, were trying to re-create little scenes over here,
and so I want you guys to make available white little tents with
the names of every Piston Car. You know what I mean don’t ya?
A nice Dinoco Tent would be cool, Rusteze Tent, Sidewall Shine Tent,
Apple Tent, everybody’s tent.
We will buy them all! Won’t we Take5’ers.
Rich
Yes, yes we will!
All of the non-lenticulars listed above.
All of the buildings in the 1:55 scale.
A complete set of haulers in the 1:55 scale.
A complete set of Mini haulers.
A complete Mini SOTS set.
All racers in the 1:55 scale with plastic tires.
All racers in the 1:55 scale with rubber tires.
Affordably priced Red Ransburg McQueen for everyone who wants it.
A complete SOTS set with all Ransburg Finished racers.
You see Mattel, we really don’t ask for much.
Git her done!
LOL, yeah, I mean look at how short this list is? Surely, it would be easy?
(praying and hoping they could do that all!)
Ok, vehicles I would love to have:
Mini and Van – in desert-modded despair, still trying to find the Interstate.
Stanley- Something to scale with Lizzie, though non-canon since he is no longer living.
Chick Hicks- with THUNDER STICKER. (come on, after 3 years, you think Mattel would give in to the ‘Ka-chigga!’)
The Motor Speedway family of 3 cars (Momma in Red, Poppa in Blue, and their daughter in Purple, with her mini-Marco antenna topper)
Mater with newly-recovered blue hood (from the closing credits of the 1st film)
And for Tokyo Mater:
Tokyo cop car
Tokyo Mater (haven’t seen any images of him yet), both newly-modified and then damaged.
Geisha cars
Drift Racer after loss (aka ‘STOCK’)
forklifts
Ninjas
The minivan resembling the Catbus from the film ‘Totoro’ in the closing dance scene
Plenty of modified ‘Tokyo Cuties’ (and Mia/Tia)
P.S. And will we get the remaining SOTS vehicles before Mattel ‘lenticulizes’ them?
Yes, when does the sign come out and what will that consist of?
The sign with two more pitty’s, etc. or within another stunt set or
whatever.
Also, I’m trying like hell to slice open the back of that Ambulance.
Please, if anyone has any really good tips on a good way to do this let me know. I saw the other post that “Iamspeed” did but really no good directions. I’m thinking x-acto knife but it’s taking way too long.
I took the 4 screws off the bottom, but don’t know how to get the rivets off, and then I guess if they are drilled out, where do I get new rivets to put back in?
Thanks.
I think the pitty’s with the sign are coming out in the megasized set (not a playset).
Can’t help you with the ambulance since I don’t have mad customization skilz.
I would like to see a Chase Doc Hudson with 3 Piston Cups (1951, 1952 and 1953) on it.
Also, I have my theory about the missing race cars. I took a magnifying glass to Chick Hicks and found the names YUM, VAROOM, and 3 more that I cannot quite make out what they say. Could these possibly be the CARS sponsors? Can anyone else take a look and see what you find? Need a high powered microscope to do so.
Just was wondering, I have the Mater the Greater Stunt set and all
the new Mater the Greater Toons cars, like the Pitty’s and Cannonball
Mater, still waiting for the Daredevil ones but there has not been
an explanation here on Take 5 about the little sign that the two
Pitty’s are holding that says “Mater the Greater”
Is this coming out in a seperate package?
Thanks.
Not sure I understand your question. “Mater the Greater” is the “daredevil one”. Was that what you were asking, or were you asking when the set with the sign comes out. I think we should be seeing the rest of the Mater the Greater sets very soon.
Is there a plan to release all the complete race teams either as sets or singles – Hauler, racer, crew chief, pitty(s)??????
what are the names of the 3 new Mater’s Tall Tales again?
rescue squad mater
mater the greater
el materdor
Unidentified Flying Mater
Monster Truck Mater
Heavy Metal Mater
😆
my avatar….. when, oh when, will it be a reality?????
agreed!
ditto!
I am pretty much with everyone else’s ideas on here, but where o’ where are the Christmas cars? They have been on e-bay for a while and Xmas is fast approaching…
Well, in our house we want to see:
Doc’s Courtroom/DR’s Office
Mater’s Salvage Yard
Fillmore Tent and Sarge’s Barricks 2 pack building playset
Sally’s Cozy Cone Motel
Anybody else with me there??!? BRING IT ON!!
Yes! Would love to have all of these!
If you’re building the town, I found “Jeremy’s Hanger” from Thomas the Tank Engine, which can totally pass for Sarge’s Surplus (with a few modifications/additions). Before that I had a large coffee can cut in half, but the hanger seems much safer; we would like the baby to make it at least to kindergarten with all of his fingers.
Even though it’s perhaps the worst moment of the entire movie (teaching kids to beat the train), bring on the train!
For those of us building scale replicas of Radiator Springs a working model train woud be even better, just make sure that engine is die cast.
Oh, and I don’t know about anyone else, but one question has bugged me since the movie came out:
What’s Harv look like? 🙂
Vehicular Ari Gold? I am thinking Harv would rock a black Mercedes.
Doesn’t Ari usually drive a Beemer? Well, until Lloyd crashed it a few weeks ago.
🙂 That is such a great show, vulgar.. but good!
What’s up with the MOOD SPRINGS PITTY and N20 COLA PITTY???
Also, are we seriously only getting the handful of Tokyo Mater Cars we’ve been shown? That short is superior to and longer than any of the other Cars Toons and has infinitely more compelling designs–how can there be a ton of Cars for Mater the Greater and only a few for Tokyo Mater??
I would also like to know why we haven’t seen the flying Volkswagen with wings from the end of Cars.
Vroomaroundus Bugus
look up several posts.
Too right, me too. Also seen in Mater & the Ghostlight. My wife is gone with anticipation that the little flying beetle will be produced.
Brian Antenna Ball
El Materdor Toons
The fourth pitty style (kind of a hybrid of thin pitty and bowed pitty)?
I wood like a Brian FOR my Antenna Ball!!!
Ooooh, yeah! So ironic.
lost in desert Mini & Van?
YES!!
Movie Moment, yes!
I second…um…I mean triple that!
Are there any new minis scheduled soon? I know there was a plan for mini Jerry Recycled Batteries and a few more racers… but any dates or ideas? and the mini helicopters too!
Mitch.
Miss Victoria.
Bubba.
Luigi’s Mom.
Luigi’s Uncle.
Race damaged Mood Springs.
Would looove these, especially Mitch! How cool would he be?!?!
looking for fiber fuel on the shelves in the uk, Anyone seen this? if so where when? thanks.
Kmart Cars Day 4?
Have the Lenticular cars met mattel’s expectations as far as sales? I know the collecting community has been mostly turned off by these cars. But are they selling to the 3 year old kids? I ask because my Walmart has a huge selection of these cars and I never see the selection change. Before lenticulars, you would never see a huge display like this that would last on the pegs for more than a couple of days. I’m just wondering if it is like that elsewhere???
I’m sure kids would love them if their parents had the extra buck to pay for them. It is ridiculous that they raised prices so much when they came out with these.
Pegs loaded everywhere in Columbus, Ohio. True lenticular fever from Mattel point of view, but not catching on in collectorville. On the other hand, I’m a Dad with a five year old boy and he loves them. I collected all the regulars without knowing that he would catch the fever, so I am buying all the lenticulars for him. He says the changing eyes are cool.
John in Missouri reply is right on the money. I’m glad Mattel is trickling the lenticulars out or I’d be in trouble.
I was at Target this morning and they we’re down to 24 lenticular McQ and one lenticular RS McQ and that was it for singles, pretty light on the Megasized too, just a couple RPM and HTB. Soooo sad. Otherwise, they we’re nicely stocked with haulers, 3 packs, launchers, movie moments, race crews and playsets. The lenticulars seem to be selling well here in SD, so it would seem they are here to stay.
Lenticulars in my neck of the woods (MD) seem to be peg warmers.
number 1 gask-its promo in the us or store release ever
number 2 tach-o-mint same or launcher comes out /?/
apple ??????????
mater the greater 4 packs.
elmaterdor sets, any word.
sorry, one last question.
disney pixar.. are they allowing mattel to to make and sell these cars — period–, or just for cars–the first movie.. in other words will mattel be guaranteed the contract for the 2nd movie.
ok you know me by now, yes more
this walmart end cap–non pallet deal, will they most likely put out wally hauler, will frank the combine tractor and normal size barney stromin be back in this .
do you think for the black friday deals after thanksgiving is when we see some of this stuff.
kmart–days 1 cars– will they come back in rubber, days 4–5—6 ?????
ok, now i think im ok on bothering people.
I for ONE would just love to see all of the Regular Disney/Pixar: “CARS The Movie” released before CARS 2 comes out… That does NOT MEAN SMALL PAWS CARS, or GIANT CLAWS CARS… OR CARS WITH EYES THAT MOVE…JUST REGULAR CARS THAT GOT A FEW MILLION PEOPLE HOOKED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
Really? So surprising coming from you, hehe.

thats alot of names..
i think we all owe a bow to the man who knows all of these cars, i have no clue as to whom over half of these cars are.
Did u get that from the book?
Are they going to do the movie correct version of Cruisin McQueen with the bumper stickers? Are they going to do a Disney Store Bessie? DS Frank is great!
Leroy Traffik with the offroad/4×4 lift kit from the end of the movie
nice 1
Apple racer (thats all)
Will gask-its ever be re-released? What about apple and Tach-O-Mint?
Is Sarge’s Boot Camp supposed to come to Canada?
I want to see a true-scale Al Oft!

http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/pub/s?f=PRN/prnpub&page=1&xtag=PRN-prnphotos-54207&redir=detail&TAG_ID=prnphotos054207
Silly Pirate, I meant true scale for the 1:55 collector! 🙂
Do you get the feeling Newscom is trying to protect its copyright on its photos?
Yeah, that watermark cracked me up!
I’d to see more buildings, signs, billboards… heck, even the Drive In movie screen!
Is Leroy Traffik coming back?
I think he’s lost in a warehouse in Italy with all the Vans (only half kidding).
All of the RV race fans
Trev
Ransburg McQueen
The rest of the crew chiefs, pitties and haulers
Sparkplug Aliens
Sparkplug Aliens! Please.
I really thought we would see those at SDCC 2009. But nooooo.
It seemed a fitting followup to SDCC 2008 Lightning Storm McQueen.
Instead we got Cars toons pack. Not complaining, just want Movie Cars.
Bling Bling MQ is one of my pet peeves…any chance of GOLD Piston Cups on the Rims??
CUSTOMIZE… Yellow Sharpies do the trick!
Modify!
I DID! Gold Model paint . . . it looks bling’o’rific!!
the rv’s!!! how long do we have to wait 😉
2010
yes we neeeeeeeed the rv’s. with all the flags and HUGE banner!!!!!
4 different kinds would be great. 🙂
Paul Valdez?
and what haulers are coming after?
Will Lizzie be a part of the Final Lap?
And why has she always been the hardest Cars character to find in the wild?
When the Desert Backs were out, finding her and Sarge was always a breathless moment. She seemed more plentiful during the Supercharged days, but they waited forever to release her in the World of Cars card, and of course we never saw her on Race-O-Rama.
Ford Motor Company never took a bailout, so isn’t it time we get Lizzie on the road again?!?!
Also interested in more information on Lizzie. My 3 year old asks me at least once a week if the Walmart hauler has her on there.
I might be able to get Lizzie for you if you’re interested. A little hobby shop has had two of them for quite awhile, but it’s been a couple months since I’ve been there since they never get anything new. Let me know if you want me check to it out. I think their prices where sort of high, either 3.99 or 4.99 for singles. I don’t recall because I only bought some two packs there but I know those were higher than Walmart and Target. Email me at jasonpopovic@hotmail.com if interested.
Sally with the fin up/tatoo!!!
Sally With Cone has the fin up with the tattoo.
They already made that one with “Cone Sally” but it would be nice to have one without the cone on her head
Give that cone a good tug and she’ll be “cone-less”! 😉 Of course, she WILL have a hole in her roof(head).
Will Van ever get re-released?
I sure hope so, I’ve wasted a lot of Dinoco fuel looking for him.
Just a general question, but if Mattel dumped all of the Lenticulars on the Island of Misfit Toys, would Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer still go there anymore?
Great question and I’m gonna guess no!
The dentist elf would become an optometrist.
here is my list
Jay Limo
Hydraulic Ramone
Damaged Mood Springs
Circus Cars
Shovel McQ
Bessie
Dexter Hoover w/Checkered Flag
Dexter Hoover w/Green Flag
Tokyo Mater (would like to see a picture of him)
Future of the Haulers?
Cars 2 diecast information
OK I think that is all…dream bubble now busts!!
I agree, what is the plan for haulers?
I know this has been covered a few times, but I’d still like to see the mystical other 7 racers.
Did I mean mythical???
Musical?
Missing.
Will there be a Mystery Tour?
Yeah, customizers – get on it! We’ve scrutinized Chick Hick’s decals and come up with these 5:
Yum
Sludgee
Texas Tea
Motor Oil
Varoom
We thought we spied the Sludgee hauler after the race before McQueen heads over to his sponsor’s tent.
What’s the release date for EACH car that hasn’t been released yet?
Just kidding………
What about Jay Limo? He’s on the Final Lap card back, but are we looking at a year from now?
lenticular 3 packs will they contain same as single or different cars?
holiday cars still coming?
will sidewall shine, fauxwheel drive, n2 cola, fiber fuel and gaskits, tach o mint be regular single cars or launchers?
Do the fat and wide leakless pitties exist, do they have names?
There’s a post that shows team leakless, team dinoco and team HTB with wide, fat and thin pitties, but those packs seem to be only at Target.
Don’t think u have info on this but would love to see a 5 pack of f430,guido,luigi,the green and white car.ferraris buddys.I would love that 5 pack,even all those r out.
is Transberry Juice scheduled for re-release?
Yeah, but she went through a terrible divorce, got a die job and changed her name to Rad Flush!
What’s the last word on the release of Bessie?
she’s on ebay right now so it shouldn’t be long
PirateTractor???
