Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Case G The First 12-Pack
Thanks to “Mariela P.,” it looks like Final Lap CASE G was the first 12-pack.
She was at her Target and they brought out a case for her and …
So, CASE H can still claim credit for being the first case with all NEW Final Lap CARS while this one contains a Lightning & a Chick …
Again, the carton # X of X only applies to that particular breakdown – it could be a Mattel distribution number or a Target distribution number – but clearly not X of ALL …
So, what’s next in CASE J?

All the Target Stores here in Michigan REFUSE to bring out cases, or anything for that matter, from the backroom / stockroom!
They have little signs posted all over toy department that basically say ” employees are not allowed to search for or bring out collectibles from backroom”.
Target stores are the ONLY stores that I have seen actually go out of their way to NOT sell toys to collectors!!!
Yet, Target continues to sell “collectible” and exclusive toys???
I found both G and H cases at a store here in Northern VA. A picked-over G was on the pegs (but all four were there), and a sealed H was in the stockroom.
Anyone know if they are going to repeat the previous FL releases for those of us who missed some the first time around???
Where in the Chicago Burbs?

Maybe I still have time to make a run.
Thanks, Rich
Found these in Chicago Burbs yesterday!!!
This was the the first FL case in the UK and it was also a 12 car case.
I’m taking pre-orders on empty boxes now, half price!
Take5 needs more visitors, please.
I am now blocked from Take5 at work because “this is a low traffic website.” 🙁
Was that a pop-up message or an administrator comment? We get more traffic than a lot of ‘popular’ sites and blogs out there so something tells me there is more to that comment…
it was a firewall message. It said either low traffic, or the site is sending malware. I am hoping it is not the latter.. lol. Don’t know why it started blocking me now after 2 years of letting me through.
What are the contents of the G case 12 pack? Can’t quite tell from the picture.
I’m going to guess:
3 Flo with Tray
3 McQueen with Shovel
2 Artie
2 Bert
1 Lightning
1 Chick
Nope..
-3 Bert
-3 Shovel McQueen
-2 Flo w/ tray
-2 Artie
-1 McQueen
-1 Chick Hicks
Based on how they’re arranged, that was actually my original guess, but I swear I saw Flo’s mouth on the middle Bert.
I saw my area’s Mattel Rep. this morning, and here is what she indicated were Final Lap case quantities:
Cases G, H, and J: 12 Cars
Cases K, L, and M: 6 Cars
Cases N, P, and Q: 3 Cars
Cases R, S, and T: 1 Car
Cases U, V, and W: just an empty box
…and people will still be trying to sell the empty box for $18 on eBay!
😆
Uh-Oh. Mattel really is shifting to focusing on Toons. I’m glad I stopped collecting Toons. I hear Toon 4 packs are now $30. WHAT! That’s too much. If I’m buying anything from the toons, It’ll be something that looks just like an ordinary Cars car
Boohya….
