Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: 2-Pack Change? Everything But the Smoking CAR …
Minivan* & Airport Security Guard was actually listed twice on the 2-pack list which was a little odd … but by itself, hard to discern any greater meaning from it other than a mistake.
But it was odd in that so far in CARS 2, each 2-pack/Movie Moment contained one common car released or merely a repaint along with an “exclusive” CAR which might be “new,” but often times was also a repaint/variant … and now it seems clear that every forthcoming 2-pack contains one new release + variant/repaint or plan re-release …
AND No CARS 2 Airport Minivan has leaked out (photo or factory backdoor-wise), it seems clear that the first “Minivan & Airport Security Guard” 2-pack release will be this “mini.”
That it should read “Airport Mini Cooper & Airport Security Guard.”
Which makes sense on a several front including that the Mini Cooper (Becky Wheelin) has been featured at Toy Fair and Airport Security’s photo has been released by Mattel (in additional to factory back door leaks).
AND the “second” Minivan & Airport Security Guard listing is due out much later, by then of course, the Airport Security Guard will serve as the re-release and the Minivan as the “new” CAR.
* The 2-pack Minivan comes with tires, the “no-tires” version will be a CHASE single.
It’s clearly not official but there’s a lot of evidence … so fair warning … & technically this Mini Cooper has not been released as the previous one (Ronnie Del Cooper) had the Union Jack, Thunder Sticks and a flag …
Here is the full 2-pack checklist.

Met: The Officer Murakami Chase single has the tires from the pictures I have seen on ebay. Also there appears to be a larger version from Italy?
Please ignore my post! I thought the Chase Van without tires was the Chase Security. oops.
(MET: You had be stumped there for a while. 🙂 ).
It would be nice to see the cases with Security Guard Finn and the one with Leland and Mama Topolino in the stores. Nevermind about 3 to 4 cases down the road. When the heck are we going to see new stock? For next Christmas maybe?
Thanks for the clarification on the Movie Moments. Essentially we get one new casting and a repeat/minor variant or repaint as the case has been for Cars 2 all along.
Met,
Has there been any news on when the Mama Bernoulli Car will come out, the TRU Italy 5 pack mentioned last year? I know Mattel has made this casting already.
(MET: Hopefully with the next large wave of releases – probably April?)
Neat!
