Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Security! Security!
Making his first “classic-eyes” appearance in the UK …
Marco Axelbender – aka #21
And while he arrived in the US a few months back, not in a lot of shipments …
Richard Clayton Kensington (aka #17) …
Yea, they are pretty much the same ‘cept the eyes & mouth …
Just remember, Marco is the smiling one and Richard is the frowny one.
Thanks for the great pics, “Rippers.”

it’s very good. thank you! it’s so helpful for me
is that true Rippers,you find this first?
Rippers, you are always the first guy in the UK to find everything. Are you an inside-man? I never see half the stuff you find, let alone be the first one to find it. Can you share your secrets?! I am in Kent and rarely have much luck finding new stuff.
Thanks,
Jon
I have found mega size Richard Kensington in Ross several times now. It’s weird because he is the only mega size I can find, no others from the case.
I found the Lenticular 3 pack with Richard, Marco and Fred today at Target in Chicago. Finally something. Also found Bert w Camera. I kept missing him.
Once again, great find, Rippers!
I can’t believe how many items are coming out as quickly as they are… I am glad to see friends in the UK and Canada are getting new Cars… it’s about time…
On another note, I went to 5 Target stores yesterday in southwestern Ohio… At all 5, when I scanned the Team Crew sets (087070418), they came up as NCF… not carry over (discontinued)… 1 store had them in the back stockroom… and brought out another case of HTB/Dinoco/Leakless… I wonder where they’ll be for sale in the US…
ANY NEWS ON THIS MET????
That is interesting about the Team Crews. I am really looking forward to the Easy Idle version, so I hope this comes out somewhere eventually.
these may just end up in discount chain stores then – Ross, Marshalls, Burlington Coat Factory, Big Lots, etc..
No, it’s NOT time for Canada and the UK to get stuff first and the US gets it months after. I think it’s time where everyone gets stuff at the same time.
iam so happy was out on sat and went to old toy shop in larn ang go some old cars got the old mick all suley

saw him today in Tesco,
got me confused cus on the packaging he is angry but the die-cast shows him smiling, thought it was an error and they packed the wrong one…
good point. It seems that Richard’s expression on the card doesn’t match his die-cast expression, either. Maybe a different team designs the cards vs the actual die casts? Or something. Very glad to see Marco in fixed eyes, and with 3 in each case maybe we’ll have a chance to buy one from a store before the eBayers snatch them up. Cheers, Rippers!
Sweet!!! Look forward to seeing him with classic eyes … well … in a box …. from some one else … cuz he will NEVER show up near me. 🙁
BTW, does anyone know what #15 is on the megasized/deluxe checklist???? THANKS! 🙂
#15 was originally supposed to be Hi N Low Ramone but last I knew it’s been scrapped.
I know Marco A. is in the U.S. The stores just refuse to bring out shipments. He should be in the U.S. very soon. And, since they’re both in the same case, I think it would be intresting to see Marco in Richard packaging and vice versa. I actually prefer Marco to Bessie. Bessie is ugly, out of scale, and, it’s not a character, just an it. In my numbering, Frank Pinkerton (AKA Pinky) is 19.
Also, next after Marco is Brian, and after Brian id Chuck “Choke” Cables. Also, I hope the U.S. switches to International packaging. That may mean nnew stuff faster. I think it’s about time everywhere in the world gets all Cars stuff at the same time.
The problem with your idea is that many Cars collectors ONLY want the US card backs, free of multiple languages that detract from the card design.
I supply US-card backed Cars items to a friend overseas who refuses to buy the International card backs(except for “openers”) because the US-back cards are so much “cleaner”.
So, there are two sides to collecting US & International versions, based on personal preference.
Personally, I’d rather wait a little longer for the US version, rather than get the International version sooner and be looking at multiple languages covering up the graphics.
I think so. I live in Puerto Rico (USA Territory) and on Friday I got three Marcos in Walmart.In the back of the card you can see the frase “colect them all” n different languages. Also I have some Van San and Teki and Paki pack that I found in Walmart yesterday.
We should see them soon here in the USA.
I think this case has repeats of Elvis in it.
I hope so. Maybe WM and TRU can continue carrying these. I hope they can stop putting old repack cases out. This is Case T
Marco A. (3)
Richard Clayton Kensington
Elvis RV
Mack Semi
I can’t wait for Marco without dumb eyes to arrive in the US!
Perhaps the Mega Size Semi’s are truly dead? (besides the 18,000,000 still out there languishing on pegs)
Or waiting in line to be the next Kmart snafu
man rippers, you guys are getting tons of stuff lately! Great scores!
