Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: Next 4-Packs (Target Only?)
It seems likely the next 4-packs are Target-only but there’s no definitely indication.
Raoul, Lewis, Jeff Gorvette AND …
(Raoul’s Caroule’s Crew Chief) Bruno Motoreau. He is also scheduled as a single. I believe the Kmart 2-pack of Raoul & Bruno is canceled.
Nigel, Francesco, Lightning & Nigel’s crew chief PLUS …
Nigel’s Crew Chief, Austin Littleton. As of now, he is scheduled in no other release format.
There is also a box with Jeff Gorvette, Lightning McQueen, Carla Veloso & Jeff Grovette fan … It’s pretty impossible to guess which one as there is no sceen in which a fan rushes up to Gorvette so … maybe it’s this one since it looks like Andrea (from CARS)
The 4th listed set is: Max Schnell, Shu Todoroki, Miguel Camino and Max’s fan …
He does appear clearly in the trailer … an Opel Minivan?
Or a new Mini Cooper repaint …

I’ll wait for the single to get Bruno Motoreau. If I have to get the 4-pack to get Austin, at least Target.com tends to ship what’s actually been ordered. As of yesterday, my local Target is still trying to move that last 10 pegs of FMMs and the last 8 pegs of RTMs, plus most of the original exclusive 4-packs and most of the Tomber two-packs. I’ll never see any of these on the shelves.
Why is it such a problem to put 10 pack racers ( like Tru one)?
so they can put 10 pack crew chiefs… price was “right” $50…
As I have said before regarding these multi-pack gimmicks: BOO YOU MATTEL.
I do like these new Cars though and will probably get the exclusives loose from fleabay.
You aren’t the only one. Have said it before but am seriously considering changing from a carded collector. Or maybe do as Manifold says below, make my own “exclusive” 4 or 5 packs with loose exclusives.
Yes, I really like Mike’s idea of putting the loose exclusives in a nice multi-pack box for display purposes.
Nigel Gearsley has been released 7 times in different packaging since May.
including 2 different multipacks.
Raoul has been released in 10 different packagings including 4 multipacks and Collect and Connect puzzle, a playset version, and a pull back.
Not including these new packs. Unbelievable marketing for a line that is only 6 months old.
(MET: The pullbacks are out? They are a larger scale, right?)
There are 1:55 scale pullbacks. I’ve seen them at Kohl’s and they’re 100% plastic. 🙁
pullbacks have been out at least a month now and they are same scale as die casts but plastic.
Met – pullbacks are out in a 1:55 scale… the first case of 12 came with 1 Raoul Caroule… 7 Lightning McQueen… and 4 Finn McMissile… I found them September 19 at Meijer and have also seen them at Kohl’s.
I like the new Cars, but hate buying 3 more repeats just to get the one new Car…
Other people have already answered, but yes saw them at Kohl’s they are 9.99, and plastic 1:55.
To sell one new car in a 4 pack is one thing but not offering the single version of it is a killer for collector… The “Non possible to collect super chase” and now these 4 pack with one new car is too much to swallow. It looks like Mattel mission is “How to stop the collector buying and let the normal poeple buy our product” They are excelling in that “Mater” (matter)….
Sad, but I will skip them…. A first to my “almost done chasing that incase cars 2 series” collection.
Not fun at all!
I think I might call it quits on the $15-$30 fan cars with the release of Francesco’s mother. I have my “exclusive” 4-pack ready for her to take the empty spot next to Denise Beam, Frank Clutchenson, and Ronnie Del Cooper. I have no choice but to echo the sentiment here… cool characters, UNcool packaging assortments.
“Nigel, Francesco, Lightning & Nigel’s crew chief PLUS …
Nigel’s Crew Chief, Austin Littleton.” (Notice the mistake ;))
Also… except for if i find Denise Beam clearanced, I’m done with fans. Too many extras and will eventually end up all being repaints.
Honestly, I am SO glad I made the pre movie decision to KNOT collect these diecasts…. this wood be SO discouraging…. SHAME on you Mattel!
I hope it’s the Mini Cooper repaint, he looks cool. But another 4pack exclusive, yay. (sarcasm obviously)
Good thing I am not collecting Fans and Crew Chiefs! It is dumb to have to get 3 cars you already have to get one new one. Not to mention the quality of the cars in 4 packs are worse than singles and double packs put together!!
is it just me or do mattel just not care anymore?
i havnt collected Cars cars in a long time now, but i do like to pop back and see whats new, and all these Cars 2 cars are just terrible…well, not the cars themselves, just mattels idiotic ways.
before, you could get every single (named) character as a single, and then there were 2/4/10 packs for those who were new to collecting and NEEDED all the cars in them.
now mattel use them as a way of making you buy the same thing over and over just to get one new car? how about this mattel? a 4 pack where ALL the cars are new?!?!? too crazy?
and with the Cars 1 cars, there was always something new on the horizon to look forward to, i looked forward to finding the new cars that were out as singles, now it seems to be “maybe we will release this at some point, or maybe not, how about this? want it? well we might make it if you buy 100 mcqueens!” literally everywhere i look im only seeing what i presume is the first wave of Cars 2 cars, ‘nothing new, nothing exciting’…maybe that should be mattels new motto.
Can’t stand the 4 or more packs with 1 new car. I don’t do those anymore. They can keep the one new car.
Thanks for the info. Now I know I can expect to find even more 4-packs with 3 cars and a space where the “exclusive” used to be. Yay Mattel.
Hey Kmart, thanks for cancelling the 2-pack! 🙁
the raoul pictured is silver like the one in the puzzle
oooh…that can’t be right…MET?
(MET: sorry, was too lazy to look for the white one :-). ).
ick…more WGP racer extras
