Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: The Last Lenticular 3-Pack?
Of course, no surprise, it’s arrived in Europe – Austria to be specific, the new center of the CARS Universe 🙂
Of course lenticular Cruisin McQueen with first release lenticular Matti & Bert (previously only on Final Lap).
And yes, that’s 20€ and not $20.
This was the original list of “new” lenticular 3-packs and it looks like everything is out …
Sadly, of course, we did NOT get the Todd Pizza Planet, Catrip & Cutlass 3-pack and got this instead …
So, it’s probably safe to presume that list is complete …
Though there are a couple “repeat” box sets on the list that have not appeared as lenticular so we might still get more or not … it’s hard to say since we are at the end of the normal CARS Calendar year which generally runs from October to October but it’s not iron clad …
The Dinoco Mia & Dinoco Tia lenticular set & the Showgirls in lenticular form have not been released. The other 4 sets have seen a release … so the last lenticular 3-pack case (which is 6 to a case) for the US might just be the Crusin & Reporters box plus the two un-released “repeats.”
More photos from “Dolly.”
8€ – priced like a classic auction CAR.
At 20€, not so fast off the shelves …
Like the boys hiding on the right …
Thanks for the great pics, “Dolly.”

me too,i also don’t have them
does any one know if we will get the three packs in the UK, we have never ever seen them and I WANT THEM!!!!
we’ve not had them yet so I wouldn’t hold out much hope…
so sad to see that this site has withered on the vine just as mattel’s distribution has done with this line. this site used to be such a wealth of great info and a place where people could share their thoughts and love for these toys, but now a typical day sees very few comments, very little enthusiasm and hardly any friendly banter. very, very sad.
Friendly banter? You’ve obviously got that one mastered….
I’m glad Todd was never a lenty. I hate those lenticulars so much, I even hate it when my favorite characters are released as lenticulars. Also, when will Paul Valdez and the other haulers we saw at Comic Con be out in the states?
Oops. Did I forget to mention that as well? Paul Valdez came out in Canada about 1 month ago in a small Quebec-based franchise.
Think the last 3-pck I bought was before they went to lenticular… and the next pack I’ll be buying looks like maybe after… :-/ Though… I’m tempted on the Dinoco Showgirls… I never got one… were they ever regular? Wow… it’s been a slow summer for Cars at least for me… 😀 Can’t wait for Paul hauler 😀
To the best of my knowledge they were released with fixed eyes.
(MET: Original POST & The Top 10/12 of last year …).
I can confirm; I have the 3-pack with fixed-eye Showgirls. (Bought it for Stigette as I thought they were Mia & Tia — she collects those — and didn’t realize until I got it home that they were not.)
This one might still be hanging around on a KMart shelf somewhere near you? They were pretty stagnant sellers around Chicago anyway.
Oops. Probably should have said something here. This 3-pack arrived in Canada close to 2 weeks ago at Wal-Mart. $14.92 CDN plus taxes.
Where oho where?!?! Walmart is my guess…
Just found the Story Tellers there today – Van-San and the pittys… Teki and Paki…
Tons…
Do you want this? It’s here in Miss. You found stuff we still need – we need to chat…
found it ar Walmart today actually – Don’t want it as I have a Matti comin’ in and well McQueen… Got tons… Don’t want to spring for the set just for the one car…

I will see if we can help each other!!!
I hope that’s the last lenticular 3 pack because I hate those things!
We can only hope!
Good Riddance to the googly eyes 3 packs. I am so happy we all ready have these in the good old fashioned fixed eyes.
RIP- to the headache inducing repeats. Hopefully you won’t be brought back from the dead several years down the line when Cars 2 characters start running out.
Yawn
Very nice selection of Cars!
Ooh, I’ve never seen a flea and flik in the store!
Me, neither. Finally had to “fish” one out of the ‘Bay, so naturally I expect to see thousands of them warming the pegs any time now!
They are still around here and there in Toronto…
Definitely around Toronto, the only MM’s i’ve seen on shelves in my short collecting time.
Also, these new 3 car sets are on the shelves here already too, can’t remember all but definitely saw the one photod……
