Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: Singles CASE D London Cards + Ultimate Chase
Here is the case assortment for the singles CASE D – coming next … these should be on the new London cards (or maybe a mix with Porto Corsa – we won’t know know until we crack it open).
If they are London cards, for card collectors, they can start from the start … for “new only” collectors, the most interesting ones are …
The crime bosses are coming …
Vladimir Trunkov
And Victor Hugo …
To paraphrase a great line from Monty Python & the Holy Grail … how can you tell they’re the crime bosses? Because they haven’t got rust (or ****) all over …
3 of each included.
There is one mystery car, it’s listed as “Epilogue Ramone.” The last “chapter” of the movie is called Epilogue (or ending) – the end Radiator Springs scenes.
Ramone is wearing the Radiator Springs “rainbow” colors throughout but of course, he was just released as the first CHASE CAR as Radiator Springs Ramone so the logical release should be this …
Which makes sense on a lot of financial levels – they simple attach the CARS 2 Hydraulic Ramone wheels and axels to Radiator Springs Ramone’s body – viola! A brand new release without much work.
Is this also the CHASE CAR of this box? (as there’s only 2 in the case). Is there a CHASE when there’s the possibility of an ULTIMATE CHASE in a case? We’ll soon find out.
And speaking of which, I’m pretty certain this is the case where the ULTIMATE CHASE concept gets its introduction …
The first ULTIMATE CHASE CAR is called “Flash,” named after Swedish racer Jan Flash Nilsson. Here’s the full list of Ultimate Chases and our thoughts on the plan.
So, we don’t know the exact number but the plan is that it’s NOT in every case – so until it gets released and people start opening cases, we don’t really know.And presumably they drop one of the LM’s if you get the Flash ULTIMATE CHASE?
Thanks for the heads up Children’sToyCloset – there’s no release date yet, just that it’s the next case. But it seems logical it should be ready by the post holiday reset – in 2-3 weeks?
Those that find the ULTIMATE CHASE hanging on a peg … take a photo, we’ll put it next to the pic of a real Yeti.

latest case i have found in UK is HH Mc Queen, if Mel Dorado is in that case then i have missed it every time…can anyone tell me if Mel is in the case or am i panicking over nothin? lol
(MET: Yes, that’s the one with Mel … but you still shouldn’t panic. 🙂 ).
cant find original post but i did find the purple and yellow small truck today……his artwork on the side changes if you flip the switch……its all plastic and you get a plastic mcqueen too. its some sort of race track set, sorry if itss been covered but couldnt find original post.
Reports of J. Curby Gremlin on Ebay means he’s coming soon too. Now all we need is Tubbs Pacer. Watch him be in a 10 pack with him and Ivan as the 2 exclusives.
Vladimir,Victor,a chase(or new),and a super chase with London card all in one case!? Now if the stores can get rid of the overflow of Finn’s, there’s hope for collector’s! I am not surprised at the hydrolic radiator springs Ramone…it’s like getting chase Fred w/ bumper stickers and then chase Fred w/fallen bumper(which looks almost the same) Bring it on!
I plan on making a Christmas Cruiser Ramone Hydraulic version, glad Mattel caught on. Darn, I was going to make millions of those.
Happy to see at least a few new coming but I dread it may be awhile before we see this case in stores.
I’ll have to start looking for the ultimate ‘chase’ cards in the morning so I can make a fortune on eBay!!!!! 🙂
Treasure Hunts and Supra Treasure Hunts riled up the casual collector long ago. Introduce extremely difficult castings to locate to hype the collector market??
If there are new buyers for kids in the marketplace, let them go with the Disney Store products. Order Cars in the safety of your home and not get mugged in the toy aisle of Target and Wal-Mart. I’ll let you know when I find a super chase so I can solicit trades for a 1955 Chevy! 🙂
Ahhhh, finally the crime bosses. Cool that there are more then 1 or 2 in the case as well. Are people actually finding the previous new case, the one with Radiator Springs Ramone?
No. We are stuck on more hydraulic Ramone cases here at Target. Same thing at Wally here. They are going backwards, as Mel Dorado was at Wally then they got the older cases again. Kohl’s is the only store that got the newest cases before Christmas.
I think that’s pretty much the same scene here, although I haven’t been a good hunter lately.
Not too bad of a case, 8 of 24 Cars are “new”, or 33%. Thanks Mattel!
New Cars – good… new cardbacks – nice but not anything I’m going to get just because it’s there… it’s got to be a new or rare Car… Hydraulic Radiator Springs Ramone sounds interesting and I’ll probably pick it up… I sure hope I can find an ultimate Chase without spending big bucks…
Cars 2 collecting is very annoying.
Heh Heh! Right on!
I have seen a Hydraulic Ramone with Radiator Spring Paint Job.
The decals and mouth seems to be different.
I am waiting for it to arrive.
Happy to hear that Hugo and Trunkov will be coming soon!!
