Samurai60-David & Samuel R . has graciously and generously put together FOUR great CARS package that are great by themselves but have again, generously and graciously agreed to donate all proceeds to our friend Caitlin L. From David’s own words …

“As many of you know, Caitlin (futurepixargoddess) is due with baby Lorelai in March.  The Samurai family wanted to do something for baby Lorelai but also for the Take 5 family that has continued to grow over the last couple of years.  The Samurai family is putting up 4 lots of Cars for a sealed bid, silent auction.  ALL of the money raised during this auction will go to Lorelai so that she can hopefully buy something relatively substantial for herself when the time comes.  Long time and active Take 5 member Samuel has also donated Cars for this, the custom Apple Car, the Sidewall Shine, Bubba and Mater pack and the Gold Ransburg McQueen and Rescue Squad Mater from the Blu-Ray package!  Email your bids with the name of the lot in the subject line and in the message your bid to dkyoshida@yahoo.com Bidding ends at midnight MST on Friday, March 5^th.  I have a reserve on these lots (approx. the retail price, not the eBay price!) so I can make sure that baby Lorelai can buy something good!  Only the winning bidder will be contacted.  Bidder is responsible for shipping costs.  Spread the news to friends and family!  Dig deep for a great cause for a great member!  Thanks Take5″

Lot One: McQueen and Chase Lot

This lot contains one of the holy grails of Cars collecting; a sealed in baggie, never opened Blu-Ray McQueen that was released a couple of years ago as a promo by Disney.  There were only 15000 made.  This has the correct date stamp on the bottom 2427EA.  This lot also includes a 2008 San Diego Comic Convention exclusive Lightning Storm McQueen.  This was taken out of the box and white tissue paper only to take this photo.  Also included is a Desert Back 12 Lightning McQueen, chase King with Piston Cup, chase Mario, chase DJ, chase Darryl, chase Ferrari and Chase Salutin’ Sarge.

Lot Two: Cars Toons Lot

This lot contains a great starter assortment of the Cars Toons Cars released over the last year.  A 2009 San Diego Comic Convention Rescue Squad Mater set with Dalmatian Mia and Tia starts this lot off.  Three huge four packs are also included.  Dr. Mater, Burn McQueen, Nurse Mia and Tia, Mater the Greater, High Dive Mater, Lug and Nutty, Aviator Mater, Stuntman/Rocket McQueen, Lug, and Props McGee are found in these four packs.  Nurse Kori, Nurse GTO, Burnt McQueen and Lug and Nutty in the singles format are here as well.  Last but not least, a Dragon McQueen with Collectors Book round out this lot!

Lot Four: Cars Collecting Starter Set

This lot has a little Canadian flavor!  Right before Christmas, one of our large retailers, Canadian Tire, released an interesting gift box containing ten random Cars in the WOC cards with a collector’s poster.  This specific box contains Guido, Chick Hicks, the King, Doc Hudson, Wingo, Radiator Springs McQueen, Tom, Ferrari, Fabulous Hudson Hornet crew chief and a weird one, a Tongue McQueen with “Lightning McQueen” on the card.  Also included are a Mack Truck with black transporter with Sally and Radiator Springs McQueen and a copy of Cars the Movie on Blu-Ray with Rescue Squad Mater and the Gold Ransburg McQueen!
