Mattel Disney Pixar Cars 2 Diecast: Holiday Target Stores 20-Pack
If it gets released, it’ll be the biggest box set since Motor Speedway of the South …
Called “CARS Radiator Springs to the Rescue”
This gift pack recreates the exciting escape-from-London scene straight out of the Disney*Pixar Cars movie with 20 die-cast characters in a dynamic diorama. Includes an exclusive Prof Z and an oversized Red. Exclusively at Target.
Presumably, it’s this scene where the gang all show up to knock down the lemons & minions … so “the gang” from Radiator Springs* would account for 14 of the CARS of this set (Lightning, Mater, Ramone**, Flo, Luigi, Guido, Sally, Sheriff, Red & Sarge offscreen) … (plus Fillmore).
* Plus Finn & Holley and the exclusive Professor Z (probably a tied up version).
** Ramone should be Union Jack Ramone – most likely released already be then?
That leaves 6 vehicles unaccounted for and un-named?
There are 4-crime family bosses (most will be released by then … ) will there be some extra minions?
Sarge is one block over with his military buddies but it would be too much wishful thinking we’ll get any of his friends in this box set but anything is possible …
The other big question is whether this is simply a big box set for Christmas or what might be likely, Target’s CARS Black Friday 2012 item … For a 20-CARS Box set, we could be talking about $49-$99 – if it’s a Black Friday item, obviously closer to the lower pricing … guess we will wait and see.

How about a lemon 20 pack? That would be awesome! Mattel would not agree oddly.
I fear a lot of repeats with one exclusive. Maybe Mattel will come through for the collectors with this one.
Look closely, there are 20 vehicles in that screen grab.
Interesting observation! And the second photo with the military vehicles has 19 countable characters; if there is a 20th obstructed out of view, that would make a second 20-pack. Hmmm…
Lizzie?!?
I’m surprised they haven’t released the crazy guy who lives in the train tunnel.
(MET: He’s on the list).
I have some car from Sarge’s military friends, it is awesome! We will more and more cars coming. that is great.
Nice.. But i’m still waiting for the Kohls 45 pack…
A few things:
1. We have not even seen a photo of Mattel’s Union Jack Ramone… Maybe that’s an Exclusive and then that Ramone will be released later.
2. It could come with a black Gremlin and a black Trunkov or Pacer or Hugo. I highly doubt Grem and Acer would be in this pack since they weren’t in that exact scene.
3. An extra Sheriff, Flo and Sally would be nice, especially if they have different facial expressions.
4. The Prof. Z sounds really cool, if it’s not a Target or TRU exclusive and come with the above mentioned Cars, I will probably consider getting it. But as Met Mentioned if it is $100, that will be a definite pass for me.
I hope they put this out, anything please!
Terrible. Singles make money, Mattel.
And Met – 13 townies + Finn, Holley, + the Professor makes 16, leaving 4 unaccounted for, not 7.
(MET: sorry for the confusion, I actually added Holley & Finn to that total but noting they were not really the RS Gang … however, I realized I was missing Fillmore so the RS citizens plus Holley, Finn & Prof Z really make 14 – leaving 6 un-accounted for).
Oh ok. I did some math but not all of it. I’ll bet you a Trunkov that the missing 6 are the 4 Lemon bosses, Grem, and Acer.
It shouldn’t be Grem or Acer- weren’t they last seen being pummeled by roughnecks at the bar?
I said that same thing 2 minutes before you did sodabear and my comment is for some reason still awaiting moderation…. : P
Great minds think alike, F1234. That CAM thing can get a little frustrating, huh?
I’m sure it will all be repeats with one exclusive car like normal.
Maybe they will shrink wrap four unsold TRU exclusive ‘Chaos in London’ sets together… 😉
I hope that the expressions on the Cars will match this scene. Then it will be a great set to add to my collection.
Let’s hope the tied up Prof. Z ( does anyone even want that?) and a sightly larger Red( maybe a Disney Store Red clone) aren’t the only two “exclusive cars” to this set. Which would in fact mean two exclusive variants but no actual new exclusive vehicles.
Knowing Mattel they will throw in 1 or two new cars just to try to entice the completists but it would still be an easy pass for me. I don’t play that game anymore. Especially not for Cars 2.
(MET: well, Red has already been “upsized” for CARS 2, released with the other deluxe CARS so that is not really new … I suspect we will get the crime family bosses (all will be released as singles/3-packs by then) so perhaps a few minions or Grem & Acer …).
Too little, too late…
Too many, too late…
I agree with John – they should have released this set back when toys came out in advance of the movie.
If it’s going to be $99, it better have at least 8 to 10 new Cars for me to buy it… If it’s $49 as a Black Friday special, I might get 2… otherwise, I’m going to have more gaps in my collection.
Thanks for the heads up, Met… I know you’ll keep us posted.
This is exactly the kind of item they needed last May when the movie debuted.
