Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: More Deluxe CARS & Kmart
Remember a few months ago when you got a chance to vote on some of the Top 10 CARS left?
Looks like the voting results are resulting in CARS …
Three bits of news.
1) The list has been split in two with two branches – branch one is the Deluxe-Oversized-Megasize lineup. The announced Deluxe-Oversized are still scheduled …
Richard Kensington is out, Brian should be out soon, Miles Meat Malone is scheduled after that … then after, will the other 4 also be out in the next few months? Or later in the Spring as part of the new …
2) Kmart + Matty or other Online Exclusive Megasize series?
The first two on the list seem to be …
Nelson the Camera Operator.
3) Yes, the Deluxe-Oversized lineup is moving to an exclusive but it’s unclear if it’s Kmart + Matty or Kmart + Other Online sellers? It’s one of the two options.*
There’s more on the list but you don’t want all the info on one day, do you? ๐
Yes, there is an RV list – still sorting through it – they will get their own separate release – not Kmart exclusives – list coming soon.
*We know the Kmart portion of the business won’t be dull … ๐
I realize this post is way out of date — but I just recently found a close-to-scale model of the 75mm pack howitzer Sarge is pulling in the wargaming world. Once it arrives I will let folks know how it stacks up — since assembly, paint, and a signboard (no tailgaters) will be all it needs!
Very interesting. Sarge is towing this gun in the deployed position, not the travel arrangement; and the wheels indicate this is the version supplied to the British Paratroop forces. You never know with Pixar.
new cars 2 trailer… not the teaser.

If someone is interested there is 2 or 3 Haulers Vinyl Toupee and Shifty Drug available at KOHL’S in here and there are peg warmer… Probably because the price. At $18+tax a piece it is quite over the regular price in stores. I know these are not easy to find normally…. (Kind of Bessie of Haulers ๐ ) Anyway if someone want to get them both it may worth the single shipping…
I cant even find a buyer for my spare vinyl toupee hauler, good luck
Has any body seen the Target Cars Christmas 5 Pack yet ?
My Target has a small, light grey dot on the shelf tag for the Christmas 5-pack. I asked a Target employee what that meant. She said that it was a known out of stock item that is on order.
Just another piece of retail trivia to add to your store.

Thank you PV. I mentioned about Lightning McQueen Daredevil with flames but I didn’t know the number. I just saw a pic of Yojimbo. Not that spectacular… And honestly Goodbye Kar was almost a twin of Cho… That won’t be a big lost anyway. My checklist is now updated.
Who is the Goodbye Kar?
Well most exclusives have turned up in the uk Disney stores regardless or what store they are exclusive in the US so fingers crossed for the UK
Where in the movie is the mater with the cone teeth?
He isn’t from the movie, it’s in the mater and the ghost light short
Thanks.
Target has Shiny Wax Hauler posted, but out of stock. Why do they do this to us.:[
that shiny wax hauler has been on there for a year
Please be on Matty (or Kmart’s stupid website if they can fix it.). Target is the only store I have, and I have lots. They seem to have a monopoly in my area except for 1 Walmart that is very close by. I do not have a Kmart or TRU I can visit everyday. And, how much will they cost? When will they be out. Please show us the RV list. I could really use a wish right now.
hey met do u think we will see the rv’s before christmas 2010?
thx
-flop
(MET: Highly unlikely).
been waiting for thoses rvโs for a long time!!!!
hopefully they come in a nice box set, i could see them now all 4 K-I-N-G. in a nice box set. then mcqueens bigest with nice big banner on him. this will look nice. canโt wait to see the rv page met. thx again (keep up the GREAT work)
-flop
Mega Sized cars from the first movie as exclusives?! I’m scared!
I love Kmart. Kmart is my friend. Go Kmart. Go Kmart. Kmart Kmart Kmart.
Thankz for the new Met ๐
Only thing if these are going to be exclusive, I hope they’ll have a set day because going to and from Kmart takes a really long time ๐ Don’t wanna keep going back and forth to check on these. I really hope they are Kmart+Matty ๐ Can’t wait to see what else is coming…
Thanks Met.
my count is 18 not out from Meet the Cars Characters (100 in the book)
Blu Ray finder Cars: 45 (including the 18 above)
Kmart has had Chet Boxkaar on their mygofer site, but I won’t order it.
until they fix their web online ordering.
Lets hope they do, because Kmart I agree, is collector friendly, unlike Matty (what is a Car? Mattel)
Yeah, if they fix their web-ordering system, I think this could be good.
Hey BMW, is there any indication in the Meet The Cars book, or the Blu-ray Cars Finder game, that Easy Idle and Rev-N-Go are girl-cars? I was just thinking about their names, Ruby and Misti. Are they depicted with Cars-girl-eyelashes? If so, I think this would be a good one for customizers to tackle: gender-corrected Piston Cup Racers.
Funny you mention these things:
A salt lake company makes eyelashes for real cars….. it wouldnt take much to add eyelashes to these diecasts would it?
and I have been sending Kmart reps questions on the gopher site about lightyear launchers and Chet Boxkaar ……… to make sure they are on top of ….LETS GET THIS nailed down
Misti Motorkrass races for the team “Rev-N-Go” in the movie Cars.
“Misti comes from a racing family but not exactly on the track. Her brother Frank is a champion street racer on the East Side. Her brother Zach holds titles as the fastest drag racer in three towns, and legend has it her brother Dave has outrun five police cars in the past year alone. Suffice to say, Misti’s family is very excited about her legitimate racing career, and though she may not have a perfect track record, at least her record is clean!”
Ruby “Easy” Oaks races for the team “Easy Idle” in the movie Cars.
“Nicknamed “Easy” Oaks for his laid back attitude and his slow, gravelly voice, Ruby Oaks view of life mirrors his approach to racing. He likes to take it easy, gather his thoughts, get folks to let their guard down, and when they least expect it, take the lead
As Martin Arriola would say:
Kmart (Lucy)….you got sum splainin to do…!!!!!
Disney Cars Easy Idle/Rudy ”Easy” Oaks
| Kmart Item# 004W022566580004 | Model# P0008-d
so BMW:
is it Ruby as in female Ruby?
you mentioned his several times:
Ruby โEasyโ Oaks races for the team โEasy Idleโ in the movie Cars.
โNicknamed โEasyโ Oaks for his laid back attitude and his slow, gravelly voice, Ruby Oaks view of life mirrors his approach to racing. He likes to take it easy, gather his thoughts, get folks to let their guard down, and when they least expect it, take the lead
Wow. It’s cool reading the back story for these characters. So Misti/Rev N Go is a girl, and Ruby/ Easy Idle is a dude. Thanks very much, BMW!
Kev, its a guy car for sure.
At least Kmart usually stocks a LOT of their exclusives, unlike another store. And I believe pretty much all of their exclusives in the past have been made available online. So despite their not being a Kmart within 3 hours of here, I am pretty happy they were able to score some exclusives. If I remember right, they are the only major retailer who even reaches out to Cars collectors.
Yeah that is a scary thought that these might be exclusive to Kmart. I am sure that will be eventful if it does occur.
Great info Met… happy to hear ALL the info NOW!
But we’ll probably see these next Christmas ‘wont we’!
When is KMART Day 6?
Kmart Day #6 is approximately 2nd or 3rd week in June, not nailed down yet
Nice!….But we can’t even get Bessie around here. ๐
Glad I’m not the only one that gets to the pegs late for Bessie.
Must have all the information NOW, Met… Please?
Here’s hoping they show up in stores for all, and the retailer that sells them online has demonstrated consistent working knowledge of online sales…
I received Marco Axelbender from a friend in the UK… I haven’t opened it yet…
Just a note these are not for Kmart Day #6 according to Kmart
when is day #6????
-flop
a few posts down:

Kmart Day #6 is approximately 2nd or 3rd week in June, not nailed down yet
yeah posted before i read whole list thx man
-flop
Kind of silly if they give KMart the exclusive deal given the last fiasco…
where is marco axelbender?
YUCK I hate exclusives since the only stupid store I have is walmart. It’s already hard enough to get the final laps now these will be just as hard.
Does Mattel want to drive all their customers away? A good way to do that would be to give Kmart an exclusive. Way to go Mattel ๐
If Kmart gets the exclusives, that means we may never see them at the pace they stock new merchandise. ๐
>>Thereโs more on the list but you donโt want all the info on one day, do you? ๐ <<
er we want it all………………NOW…………….
please, MET, don’t hold back
