Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Lug & Nutty Error-Variant
While we await the great ad banner-coupon claw to drop & activate the Kmart ad & coupon later today, here’s a nice new error or variant pic from Fiddleheads of Maine …
Since, I guess the guy who takes off the lugs would be named LUG, the other guy is NUTTY though since the screenshot is not really from some tire changing-lug removing scene but rather firing up a propane torch to send a car flying over a 7-mile canyon maw … when clealy the ramp is built for a 3-mile jump … so who’s really NUTTY? And who’s really LUG?
Though you could argue the car position should line up with their name?
Who are you voting for as which is which and who is whom?
(The top one is the correct one – thanks Fiddlehead!)
So do we just accept that there are dark/black spots on the wheels in 95% of the Lug/Nutty packages?
I like the error pitty. It’s like a whole new (well sort of) pitty that we can add to our Mater the Greater Stunt collection. Can’t have too many pittys I say.
So to answer the Lug and Nutty question…I think Lug is the person who put the error pitty in the package and Nutty would be the person who packed them in the cases. 😉
guh, how annoying. they cars are getting pricey. mistakes like this are becoming unacceptable. quality control mattel!
Ok, this is definitely an error, not a variant. Just finished checking 10 cases and all singles I got from TRU (56 in total) and found nothing.
So Fiddleheads, I want to know, are you selling and how much?
slicepie@roadrunner.com
you found 10 cases at tru?
What was that comment on the Moe contest??? Oh yeah, that is definitely more than collecting….
so the one lighting up the tank has a wickier look ^^
After all that turkey for Canadian thanks givin’ – I gave birth to a nutty lug…
PG13?
Too Much Information Dude!
Ehhhhhhhh………..so take off the torque wrench. A pretty weak variant….. Maybe for those completists…. Pass………..
so, the bigger question is . . . . are they going to REUSE these same pitty’s for the set that comes with the “Mater the Greater” sign?!?!? 🙂
(MET: Sort of – they have lower forklifts so the sign can be held up by the two Pitty’s).
Does Pinocchio have a wooden butt?
I hope it doesn’t make jeff’s “nose” grow!
hmm . . . before or AFTER he is turning into a real boy?!?! 😉
And the forks on Lug are different.
The eyes are different on the 2 Lug’s!
hummm back to the one on the right is on the left, and the one on the left is on the right and the one not in the package is Mr inbetween!
Did anyone notice that on the error they have the same forks. Its actually the same exact forklift twice. The correct one has one with the forks up and one with them down.
Yes, they are twins, but only one is holding the power tool.
I vote the Nutty is the one with the funny squinty eyes.
Actually, you take the nuts off, not the lugs. Don’t take that the wrong way… 🙂
So the variant is Nutty and Nuttier?
Nice find…
Funny how they packed two squinting eyed pittys when according to the screen shot, they should both have the wide eyed expression. Cool variant though. Seems to be alot of these mistakes lately. Early Monday, late Friday thing, I guess.
So my vote is that the dude w/o the torch is Lug, since he’s basically just a forklift used to ‘lug’ things around. Clearly the torch guy is Nutty, since you’d need to have a screw loose to stand directly behind a car with solid rocket boosters strapped to it and set the thing off.
Good one!
I am LUG (as in BIG LUG) and John in Missouri is NUTTY!!!

Just picked these fellers up myself at TRU. The MTT singles are much cheaper at Target though ($3.99 v. $4.79)
They were 2 for $6.99 at TRU LAST week!
I’m waiting for the error/variant with jaundice-yellow eyes! 🙂
or maybe Alien Cat Eyes?? Perhaps after too much Nitro Ade, with blood shot eyes?
