Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Target Clearance – Waves Bye-Bye to CARS
Target has begun their in-store clearance of all Mattel Disney Pixar CARS products – from @30% to 50% in this first go-around.
There’s not much left … well, outside of the 9-pack which is 50% at $14.98 …
It seems unlikely we will see the remaining 8 Final Lap CARS listed as “coming,” but on the bright side, if they show up, they will be at the clearance price.
There’s not much in the way of Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Toy items at Target.com but some items might be of interest to you.
SHOPMattel.com is not exactly bursting with CARS items HERE but some are on sale and there are some coupon offers. Of course, ShopMattel also has Barbie, Hot Wheels, Monster High and other Mattel brand items …
15% off $50 Purchase. (through 4/27)

(NOTE – ShopMattel is NOT MattyCollector.com so none of these coupons work there).
Are the last trucks coming out other than on ebay?
Went to Target today and found Cars2 double packs in of all places the Easter section. They look pretty good!
Have checked the Easter section in 5 different Targets, no luck yet!
I really wanted to see what the FL Bertha Butterwagon looks like. Her name sounds like she was going to be such a cool car. I am so disappointed that they are not going to be making the rest of the FL lap series. All they have left at the Target in my area is the Speedway 9 pack, which at $15 is still too much IMO. I already have half the cars in the pack.
You can see what she would have looked like on pixar wiki.
Cool. Will check it out. Thanks!
Surely someone, somewhere, somehow has a plan for the Final Final Laps ??? And what about the missing and very hard to find released Haulers ??? They would be leaving a lot of $$$ on the table. 😉
I’m going to miss these, after 5 years. Will Cars 1 continue?
Are we ever going to see the final, Final Lap cars?
What are the remaining 8 Final Lap Cars? I’m guessing Wilmar Flatts is one of them since I found a Lenticular of that one
(MET: There was a post somewhere …).

Thanks John! I don’t know how I missed this post. Oh wait, I was moving then, no internet at the time
I Do not have a target nearby and have never been to a target or toys r us before, but if someone didnt mind id pay for clearence cars especially the 9-pack. djcb2011@gmail.com
Just Found Cars 2 RED on tru.com http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11492195&moduleName=Character+Theme (no image availible)
I got a Tokyo Mater playset for $10.48 last night. Don’t really intend to assemble it, but I now have a ‘clean’ Tokyo Mater.
Yeah, that’s the only reason I bought it. We’re gonna open it at Easter. I just hope the window decals are painted and not stickers like Frank’s eyes in Tractor Tippin’ playset.
bj- just checked mine, and they are stickers. What just gets me is he’s 100% plastic, and so light. However, I’ll take this TM over the ‘snazzy-painted’ expensive SDCC one.
Would have bought the SDCC one if wasn’t for those flames.
That is sad! But look on the bright side, They’ll be back with merchandise for Cars 2 next month!
The Speedway 9 pack came out at $39.99… it was a Black Friday special at $19.99… Shortly after Black Friday they adjusted the price to $29.99… so 50% off $29.99 gives $14.98…
As a former math teacher, I’m always happy when I get a math problem right!
I saw over 50 of the 9 packs at the Muncie Indiana Target last night… there were also a few haulers and color changers, several of the HTB/Leakless/Dinoco team sets (hauler/racer/pitty) and a FL Derek Decal Dobbs that I got for $3.48.
My Targets have almost nothing but the nine packs. If the price is that low or lower, it is a good time to pick up some sets for donating to your local Toys For Tots, et al for Christmas.
That is an awesome idea! Thanks!
I agree completely. Awesome idea.
Shame that its probably not cost effective to send these to Europe, the shelves in the picture would empty pretty quick in the UK.
I can send 62 sets! However, I would cut each section out of the packaging, but shipping wouldn’t be too bad.
How much would UK postage be roughly if they were removed from box and posted loose?
I sent 4 sets loose last year at Black Friday for about 16.40 each. But remember there is not a tracking number with that service either.
So about 32 dollars shipped then?
give or take a few pennies. But these people wanted the box folded up too.
Which I did carefully. If you are wanting just the cars, It will be cheaper
Yeah just the cars loose would be fine-Im trying to get as many of the racers together for my son.
Should I email you.
If you are not in a hurry for them, I work two jobs. I bet someone can help you though
OK I can take a hint;)
Anyone else?
You might be better off posting a list of the race cars you still need and maybe someone will send as many as they can loose to you.

John, I thought they were 39.99 too.
A sign that said Cars 1 clearance Cars 2 coming soon would have been nice.
Ah retailers. They made a fortune on Cars 1.
So Cars 1 goes out with a whimper instead of a bang. Shame on Mattel for not releasing the last 8.
BMW- it’s the way of stores: why would they tell you to wait for a new product, which will probably keep you from purchasing the old product?
Most likely they are hoping people think that these will be the last Cars merchandise ever…and then spring Cars 2 on the unsuspecting masses.
And I don’t care how many say it isn’t the same- this reminds me of Hasbro just sweeping the Indiana Jones line under the rug. Tons of Raiders/Crystal Skull stuff, bare minimum for Last Crusade, and then nothing for Temple of Doom.
Not neat! 🙁
My Target has 62 of those 9-packs. There were 6 on the shelves forever, but once the clearance began, out came the other 56.
Weren’t they originally $39.99 though? Why am I thinking that?
Yep, they were definitely $39.99 to start with. My Target’s sign says 30% off, but also has them at $14.99. Not sure what fancy math they used to make that work.
My Target has that sign too, but it says “or more” under it in smaller print. Yours is likely to be the same.
It probably does, smarty pants.
