Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: Singles Card Completists? You’re Not Complete Anymore!
Thanks to “Jestrjef,” and his eagle eyes, he spotted not only a card variant but an ENTIRE variant sub-line …
Can you spot it?
Yep, NO diecut on the card that functions as the L hook to hang on a peg.
The peg hook is attached to the back. There are 6 CARS featured with an entirely new cardback different from the regular singles (there is only one design as with the regular singles card now). And of course, while 6 CARS are featured on the cardback, there are 7 releases so far …
Some unexpected inclusions …
And others that are the expected usual suspects …
Jestrjef found them at BJ’s Warehouse – a East Coast-Atlantic Coast-only warehouse club. If you’re unfamiliar with them, you can do a search here.
These might be a packaging exclusive – they got an exclusive in 2006 with the Rollin’ Bowlin’ Mater in a box set. I don’t have the set in hand yet so once I get them, it might solve a few mysteries once we determine production dates and the plant … but for now, another mystery and another 7 to add to your list for card completists … so an updated checklist is in order for card completists.
Of course, the main singles, the short cards and the BJ Warehouse No Diecut Cards … along with a few error cards.
The red signs are for the short cards on the list to be released but not yet out.
There are 7 no diecut cards so far at BJ Warehouse. If you spot anything else, let us know!
There are 4 major error cards – Francesco, Holley Shiftwell & Professor Z have cardbacks with an error numbering listing – showing Rod Torque Redline as #15 when he should be #16. There are also Holley Shiftwell’s with incorrect wheels (installed backwards). These are not really uncommon as they pretty much shipped this way for the first 2-3 cases … so have fun collecting them all.
So, thanks Jestrjef! The hunt is back on!

That is werid.
You know, on Club penguin you can make a toliet and make your penguin wee and that is so funny!
hee
I just can’t find Axlerod and Petrov, could you plz tell me where them 2 are?
I’ve never found them, but people keep saying Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us. And, please don’t confuse Sidewall Shine with sidewall74shine.
Thornton, CO
I have seen these every where. As posted, Walmart, Target, and TRU.
These are ‘clip strip’ hooks, we had them in the in UK when the Kmart 1 cars and other WOC cars came about
Buy, open, put on display. Easy peasy. Love dem cars! I will be giving away hundreds of $$$ worth of cars for the opening of the CARS 2 movie. Giving back is simply awesome!
Free cars event coming soon… see website for details:

This is for deaf families and their kids 🙂
Thank you Take 5 for the free poster I won during the last contest. I am very happy to win and can’t wait to get it! 🙂
Got Miles Axlerod and Petrov Trunkov at TRU yesterday! Woot!
Found Miles and Petrov at TRU today in CO Springs CO. Yay!!!
has anyone got the Rod Torque Redline in the short card yet??? I found him about 3 weeks ago at one of the Targets here with several other short cards but noticed he was different from the long card… the big difference is that with the long card he is in metallic but in the short card, he is just blue with no metallic flakes… I just found that kind of strange… I guess they just wanted to save on some cost for the shorts??? I dunno…
Different factories, different paint formula, I guess. He is also non-metallic in TRU 5-pack.
Collecting these varients would be like having a cocaine problem.
Just collecting these cars period is like a coke habit.
i am a Cars-O-Holic… I don’t mind but…
And I am finding it very very very hard to resist these little cuties!!! 1:55 fever – 24/7!!!
Yeah, I try not to remind myself how much money I have “invested” in these. I have to look at Ebay and see that Bubba & Brand New Mater packs are going for $150 to ease the pain. 🙂
Just be thankful we are addicted to Cars and not coke!
well, yes, spending about the same
Dont know about health issues- running to get all those cars either will get you in “proper athletic shape” or may cause a heart attack.
Side effects- in more severe forms- still remain to be seen….
I know you can get DTs and withdrawl symptoms when you don’t find any cars.
I have an ERROR CARD (COLOR CHANGER): It reads Lightning McQueen, but the Finn McMissile car is inside.
Next we’ll start seeing collectors fall into the baseball card trap — card borders that are centered, off 60/40, etc.
Did you know all Face playing cards are off centered! That has been a card trick for years: Lay a K,Q,or J face down. Turn your card around 180 degres and you will see the difference.
It is times like these I love reminding myself that we are NOT collecting a “minty-mint-cars-on-minty-mint-cardbacks” for Cars2!!!
Hey Dude-Met-Dude… Love those checklists… Just went through the ones you made up for the 1st instalment… Love the Canadian flag for the international releases!!!
With this list for card completists in mind, is there one already in the make for Cars1? That would be awesome…
…A little crazy to put together I am sure, but…
Very interesting……..
With all the slight variations we are not even trying to be complete anymore. Was never into packing variations anyway but Mattel is really going overboard with the wheel changes and slighty different expressions this time.
For now on it’s collect all the different characters and cool variants we want. .
Exactly our strategy.
same here.
I really like the clean card! I might have to hit a few other BJ’s warehouse stores to see if there are MORE than just the 7 I found here. NONE of the hanging strips were FULL of Cars so I would imagine there ARE more.
I did have a question come up in my mind. I asked the Customer Service Desk to look up the Item # listed to see if they had more Cars somewhere and the description came up as “Disney Cars Hang Strip” (or something like that). I wonder WHERE the Hang Strips are filled … at Mattel … at the BJ’s Distibution centers BEFORE shipping to the store …. OR at each individual BJ’S store. I will be sure to let all you SUPER DUPER COMPLETISTS know if I find anything more. 🙂
Need to find these. No BJ’s here though.
I can try to help, if you like 🙂
Dope! i am really glad they now look like the original cards again! for the most part they do.
They will stop falling from the pegs everytime we touch them… As per the 3rd pic Carla is in the same case with Miles and Petrov… Nobody have listed Carla in that same case right (Case F)?
I have some European Kmart Day 1 cards with that same hook. It’s very flimsy!
jeez, who cares about a hook packaging variant! lol
I’m so glad we are openers. It makes things so much easier. Having only one checklist is really cool too! Thanks, Met.
