“Stig McQueen” sends along great pics and great instructions on making your own slot CARS … “They’re not Mattel diecast bodies on slot car chassis (which would be too heavy to stay on the track and too wide to pass each other).  Rather, they’re plastic-bodied “HO”-scale (1:64 is “HO” in the slot-car world) cars that […]

“Markk17″ found these at a TRU. These are the final 2 Mater the Greater 4-packs … this seems like a slightly different expression for LUG. These do look like repeats on LUG & NUTTY. These are not on the TRU website yet. Thanks for the nice pics “Markk17.”

On the surface, this is not particularly surprising – it was an oddity that the “chase” CAR in a box of lenticular CARS was in the non-lenticular/classic eyes design. And it […]

Submitted for your evidence from “Mike-1202mcgowan.” Yes, it’s what you think it is … Yes, it’s clearly lenticular Bling Bling Lightning McQueen. It’s the CHASE version with the new all gold* wheel rims + Piston Cup. * Not actual gold BTW 🙂 So, it looks like after these (including the ones already out) … The […]
