Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: Teaser Trailer #1 – More, More, More Diecast CARS to Buy, Buy, Buy
Yesterday we covered the main characters and the obvious ones we should see first …
Today, the rest of the CARS/Vehicles featured in the 1-minute (or so) CARS 2 movie trailer … I think Mattel, Disney & Pixar picked up on the subtle hint you’ve shown by willing to buy every single freakin’ CAR released (other than Trunk Fresh Pitty) so we should probably anticipate being able to buy many of these …
To scale plane (carrying case?) …
It would be cool to get the chrome jet.
Since the sculpt of Quatro Maserati is done, would not be hard to get him in blue … and of course, the Audi is new um … yes, please.
Looks like Jeff “Gorvette’s” pit crew in the background …er, and I will go out on the world’s shortest limb and predict this Lightning McQueen will be in CASE A.
Customizers, you may begin to scale up your CARS 2 megalopolis’.
Starting grid – 8-foot playset? Bring it on!
Race crowd.
Ticket Counter …
Best guess on the micro ticket agents?
I think about 5 of those 9-packs should just cover it? More Mia/Tias, Mini Cooper’s … Lexus 430? Smart CAR?
Ito San sedan, Some small minivan’s, some Van’s … Civic up front?
Lexus 400 series? Giant van.
Some repeats, some new … on the streets of Tokyo …
Honda hatchback? Sunbeam?
(notice the attention to details, Mater – rusty, no reflections though his eyes are reflective).
And um, yea, WANT the 240Z! Plus the cute cube CARS of Tokyo …
Geisha Girl CAR with oil can accessory?
Crowds …
And of course, the brightly lit airport security scene … nice Scion xB’s as security …
Nissan minivan? … old style Toyota Crown on the left?
It’s unlikely we’ll get a TSA Playset but you never know … Playmobile released one …
So, one minute preview – about 200 CARS … um good ratio? Only 119 minutes to go for your CARS 2 checklist.
And of course, the brightly lit airport security scene β¦ nice Scion xBβs as security β¦

we can see that the blue car is an Opel Zafira 2 π
I have only one cuestion⦠where are Sally and Doc?
Stig mcqueen you are correct “Nissan figaro” its actually based on the nissan micra and only 1500 were sold in the uk all in 1990 if i remember right….still see them on the roads now,
Dont know if i am going to like seeing so many European cars as the American cars where not something you could see everyday on the roads here.
And to think, I was happy just finding Manji, Referee Pitty w/Bell, and Chase Mater w/Ghost Light this week!!! π
Chrome or polished aluminum? I know I’m nit-picking… but it’s all in fun. Thanks Met!
(MET: Well, not in real life π … I’m presuming if they made a to-scale plane, they would paint it ‘chrome.’)
Gotta love those flames on Lightning! π
I’ll stop my collection before. Too hard to follow the diecast issues from France. I’ll have the entire collection around the first movie, that’s already a huge one!
Oh, and is it just me, or does the chrome jet look a lot like India Gulf Niner-Niner?
blue van going through security looks like an opel. pixar has done opels in the past

(MET: See our old post here – thought it looked familiar).
WOW!!!! I see that McQueen finally got front headlights!!!!!!! π
The “Sunbeam” on the streets of Tokyo (behind the blue Honda) actually appears to be a Nissan Figaro.
Nissan had a “thing ” about “retro” styled cars long before the New Mini or New Beetle were conceived. In the late ’80s-early ’90s, Nissan’s special projects group cranked out a number of niche cars with retro themes, including the Figaro, the Be-1 (the original new Mini) and the S-Cargo (a small delivery van that did indeed bear more than a passing resemblance to a snail).
You can actually buy some of these cars in Canada now, since they’re considered “antiques” for importation purposes at 15 years old and no longer subject to new-car safety and emissions restrictions. Us yanks will gave to waitr another 10 years, though.
I have only one cuestion… where is Sally and Doc?
Shame the checklist is not yet included. Come on, Met. Tomorrow?
π
But of course must buy them all.
I like the idea of a “to scale” plane, maybe a carrying case. I’ve been hoping for a “to scale” (or at least very big) Al Loft that could be done as a carrying case. Always seemed like a no-brainer to me.
Watch, Trunk Fresh Pitty will steal the show this time around, causing a run on pegwarmers.
And I can’t resist Met’s comment on the “to scale plane” — would that be Shrinky Dinks Hauler scale or actual 1:55 scale?
This reminds me of when I used to travel to Europe a lot. I was impressed with how the color of cars seemed to depend on the country you were in. For example, almost all of the cars in England were white, gray, and black with a few bright red ones thrown in for good measure. In Germany, the story was different where there were an awfully lot of green cars. The weirdest car I ever rented was a Citroen in Denmark. That car was on hydraulics. When you started the car it would raise up….zzzzz…. and when you stopped it, it would lower down…. zzzzz…. Funny….
How cute is that little earth ball car/tank on the billboards? Now that is a car I want.
Bring them on already… but let me finish the first Cars movie first. Please Mattel?
Sooner rather than later?
AMEN to that !
Wow! I just want to see the movie now.
