Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Mmmmmm Lenticular M
Coming soon …
Complete your Security CARS … the dude I kept calling Marion is actually Marlon – um, sorry ma’am, um sir … woman? Man! Sorry.
Will Final Lap Marlon beat his lenticular counterpart to the starting peg?
This case contains the first lenticular appearance of: Marlon ‘Clutches’ Mckay, PCM FHH, Ron Hover & Yeti.
Here’s what the gas can will look like approximately … though sadly not tin/aluminum/metal. You know what Fillmore looks like.
This contains the first lenticular 2.0 packaging appearance of Boost.
We are also back to 1 Chase CAR and Lightning McQueen is back …

Saw Case P and several sidekicks at Walmart last night. LOTS of Chukis in the sidekicks. I did find ONE Fallen Bumper Fred
Does anyone know what case is currently doing the rounds in the UK?
Last I heard from a few UK Take 5ers, the Chase Van with ACTUAL stickers case is out there. 😀
not seen “Van” yet
All that seems to be on the shelves is:
-Jay Limo
-Vern
-Tex Dinoco
-Dinoco Chick Hicks
-Sarge
-Pitstop Guido
-Doc Hudson
-Fabulous Hudson Hornet
-Multiple different Lightening McQueens
-Filmore
I’ve also seen a few others, but very rarely (The King, Ferrari F430, Wingo, Luigi & Guido, Chick Hicks, Nitroade & Leak Less)
I’ll keep my eye out for “van”, but I was just wondering if we had the same cases as over in the US (can’t see why not) so I know what I’m keeping my eye out for. I’d also like to knwo whether we’ll be getting the 3 packs over here as lenticulars only seem to come in singles.
I suppose that I’m being quite controversial here as I’m tryign to only collect the lenticulars. All that I can usually see in shops over here is Lenticulars, Movie Moments and Toons (I see the occasional single without Lenticulars which I assume is Final Lap). I suppose I did this by accident as I bought the first few without thinking (which happened to be Lenticular) so have decided to stick with that. I want to get them all for my son (who’s 7 months now) so I’ve got until he’s 2 to get them all
I’ve just managed to pick up #120 – Metallic King (chase) and 138 – Antonio Veloce Eccellente (both lenticular).
I also saw a non-lenticular #7 – Bug Mouth Lightening McQueen and a Hummer Sven that I’d not seen before.
Has anyone seen a Van w/stickers with actual stickers in the US yet?
(MET: Yes, there was a post with photos).
I have a Lenticular Jay Limo on a Final Lap card. Is this an error or is this a new final lap car? Is it worth anything?
Any help would be appreciated.
It’s a packaging error. It might be worth something to Error Collectors.
Can anyone give a list of the Case J contents? I can’t seem to find this anywhere on T5AD. Thx!
(MET: There’s no official CASE J – they either skipped it or that was only available to a retailer – prob WM? It might become available later but probably unlikely).
So what case does Metallic King officially belong to?
And Case P coming before M…are they trying to confuse us or is Mattel using some alternate universe alphabet???
(MET: Yea, that second thing 🙂 … I think King was in F?).
i just got back from a pittsburg pirate game!it was fun,the other day i scored the flo-3 pack,and they have updated flO!anyone else notice it? theres new improvements and ithink this versions a tad bigger.im so exited ive never been to a target or toys r us so mostly all i see is lenticlears of orginals,but its cool cause this case has only 2 dif. mcqueens and new cars,plus i never found yeti at a store yet so its sweet,i think that they could have done a better jay limo. yes i am up at 5:00 in the morning i got back from the gsme at 3 i didnt get any sleep and missed the end of it but it was a great time…ALL YOU CAN EAT SEATS!
MET, he is called “Marion” in multiple places in the Cars Finder game….
Which is right?!
(MET: The Book of CARS calls him Marlon).
This sounds like the Sparemint / Spare O Mint controversy.
I do not like the lenticular vehicles and really do not like collecting them but I found a few vehicles yesterday that I had to have. One of the vehicles I found was when I went into Target to look around and see what Cars they had. I noticed that on one of the pegs was the Jay Limo vehicle and card that is part of the Final Lap Collection but something was odd. Everything seemed correct except for the name and number of vehicle that he is supposed to be. I know he is supposed to be 122 Jay Limo but mine is an error and is labeled 46 Sheriff. I could not pass this up. However, has anyone else seen this or know how many might be like this??
I thought I was the only one! I have a Final Lap Leno, except he’s NOT a Final Lap. He’s a lenticular on a Final Lap card. Didn’t notice until a few days later. Out of the three that I bought (one to open, one to keep MOMC, and one as a back-up to the opened one in case the boys screw theirs up), two were “normal” and one was lenticular. Thought it was odd, so I checked the packaging. Not a repack. No evidence of tampering. Nothing.
Interesting… Yeah mine is on the Final Lap card and he is lenticular but also has the wrong name and number on the packaging as well.
Has anyone run into any new cases of Final Laps yet?
Central Ohio, still waiting!
Nothing here in Oklahoma City since the first Leno appearance. Not even the race damaged mood springs. 🙁
I noticed several at the Super Target in Norman. Got mine about 2 weeks ago.
I haven’t even found the case with the CORRECT Van w/stickers yet. Our WM stores haven’t gotten any cases for weeks, Target has been behind, getting the case with Chase Darrell most recently.
Targets near me have had the newer case Lenticulars with Chase Fred, Shovel McQ and Green Flag Hoover…
No sign anywhere of Case F Final Laps or newer 3packs…
And that is with checking 5 different Targets in and around my house…
Nice Post Met!
Scheduled to ship 6/22 and available for Pre-Order right here!
Filmore is Chase because of the oil can, right? He won’t have a ransburg-type finish in addition, right?
It will be an “accesory” Chase. No special finish on Fillmore.
Other than K-Day 4, it is also the first release of Single Ron Hover Lenticular
Target Final Lap Cars and Kmart Cars. That is all I’m buying, the eyes may change, but I don’t. Give me fixed eyes or give me nothing. Eyes change are for kids. To each his/her own.
What is soon. My kid is turning 3 next sunday. He loves the movie cars. He has all the regulars and is only missing Boost. I would love to be able to give him this car plus the ones i have been saving over the last month. Do you think i have a chance? anyone
Boost, Marlon, and the Chase Fillmore… that’s all I’m buying from this case… Ron Hover should be the same as the one in the Kmart case…
If the Chase Fillmore has the same eyes as the lenticular 2.0 Fillmore, that’s not too bad… moving eyebrows in Fillmore and Sarge were actually not too bad…
I wish Mattel would have left the Chase cars as non-lenticular 🙁 but I will of course buy them all (the Chase cars, not all the lenticulars LOL)
I wish they left chase cars as non-lenticular too, but they’re actually not too bad. Metroxing said in an old post, If you don’t collect them, they collect you. Now, I guess they got me. Well, anyway I think they should make chase cars both non-lenticular and lenticular. Well, I can predict Final Lap cases G and H. I think they’ll have 3 of 6 of the follwing: Artie, Bert, Flo w/ Tray, Shovel McQueen, Marlon “Clutches” McKay, and Dexter Hoover w/ Green Flag. For the last 3, they were supposed to arrive before the lenticular versions did , but, oh well.
