World of Cars Stickers and Sticker Books By Panini Video Review
Here is a snapshot in the retail wilds of Target for the Panini sticker packs self liquidator merchandiser (which is retail geek speak for box thingy that holds stuff).
The collector books are $1 and each sticker pack of eight stickers are $1 as well. Rather than post a sequence of photos from this first book and the stickers, I shot two little videos for your perusal.
The first is a look through the entire sticker book for placement of your stickers:
and the other is one opening up a packet of eight stickers to see what we find:
The music btw was provided under Creative Commons license. The artist is Popof. The song is “Titine” on the album ‘Pomponette II, le retour’. You can download your own mp3 copy of it here.
My first reaction is that many of the spreads in the collector book are really nice and provide some nice ambiance to your collection. The stickers themselves feel a bit on the thin side which was surprising to me but they are a thin vinyl substrate and not produced just on paper so the colors hold up. The stickers themselves are just numbered so if you are stuck trying to remember just who that Cars character is you need to look into the collector book to find the corresponding name.
Not a biggie really and the process I am sure Panini thinks will help draw you into their world and the hunt for kids to locate just where each sticker is supposed to go is a big part of the fun. But, in case you need some collector guides, I know this really great source that will sell you some (shhh! Hey Buddy! Over here.). 🙂

Anyone need Chuki’s? I have 2…bought 2 packs, opened both and out popped metalic chick, brian, edwin kranks, etc. And each had a chuki.
Too 2D for me
Speaking of Aldees, I found THREE MINT CONDITION IMPOUND SNOT RODS THERE. I litteraly screamed. With joy, I mean. I nabbed them all, and took them home to only open one. BUT that’s the fun of Collecting, right? :DRight? 🙂
Does ANYONE want one of my 11 Chick Hicks Mia and Tias??? Anyone?? And of the 21 Stickers I don’t have, Dexter Hoover was one of them!! I’ve spent over $100 on that for Fours, Fives, Sixes, occasional Seconds, and ELEVENS!? I’m going to blow my top sooner or later if I don’t order them online :(. I’m stilll shocked that I found a Mettalic Chick at Aldees.
Actually there is another book that came out 2006 after the film. That one you can order it online at Panini’s website with all stickres that comes with. The one from Mater and the Toons we have order it too but with all stickers. I don’t know if we are getting that one here in Austria (we paid €33,50 for it with shipping).

I picked up this first book and lots of stickers at Walmart stores several months ago… With the amount of money I spent, I could have bought 3 of the Pixarpedia books. I gave away many duplicates.
Now there’s a second book with an emphasis on the Cars Toons out in the UK…
Racecars don’t have headlights. Just stickers.
cute…
