Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: Finn McMissile, Begin Life Again at Consolidators …
When products don’t sell by a certain day to the big retailers (WM, Target, TRU, Kohl’s, Kmart, CVS, Walgreen’s, TakeFiveADay Cotton Candy-CARS Diecast Flea Market Cart, etc, etc …), they get “re-sold” to consolidators … so if you’re wondering where the X thousands of Finn McMissiles from Walmart are …
So, if you want a full case of Finn McMissiles and Finn McMissiles only, now’s your chance. If you want lots of cartons, they’ll be happy to negotiate down the price … I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess there is not a massive rush and you should be in a good negotiating position if you want like 10 cases. 🙂
And since these are being sold at $1.30, my guess is they paid no more than $.50-$.60 for these Finn’s.
You can also pick up some 2-packs …
And surprise, Kmart did not take the full McQueen Alive allotment …
Keep in mind all consolidators require a resale permit/resale tax ID # to open an account and the minimum buy in is anywhere from $300 to X thousands.
But you should start seeing these on the shelves pretty soon at your favorite discount/outlet store …

That explains the Finn McMissile aisle in the brand-new Big Lots that just opened near my house…
Now where are the new CARS at the mainstream retailers? Wasn’t there supposed to be a reset last Sunday? The pegs at my local Target were still empty as of this morning (though they had Denise Beam 4-packs stacked three high, four deep and two wide), and WalMart was still drowning in McMissiles.
Why?? When we haven’t seen some of these cars on the shelves in the UK? Other countries too I would imagine.
Where’s the link for these as I haven’t purchased either of the 10 packs?
Seems like now is the time.
I wonder if someone will sell Finn singles in China.
I never bough LM Alive becasue I never found it on clearance. Is it worth it? Does it work well or is it garbage. Anyone?
(MET: I think our original review stands – that it’s nice but not really $60 nice … if you can find it in the $25 range, it’s certainly worth that …).
I’ve always joked about “tackling babies” to get to the new Cars at retail, but one time at the TakeFiveADay Cotton Candy-CARS Diecast Flea Market Cart, a baby tackled ME just to get at a Finn McMissile single. Oh the irony!
That was Mater and Holly’s baby JOhn!
Now THAT would be a good story line for Cars 3. I also want to see Lightning & Sally tie the KNOT.
So the TRU 10 packs are $21.95 to the consolidators? Wow… I only saw the 10 racer set at 2 TRU stores and didn’t buy it…
It can’t bode well for the line that these newer items are already deeply discounted…
If all the Finn McMissile singles didn’t sell for 99 cents or $1.00 at the recent “fire sale”, they won’t get $1.30 per Finn for an entire case of 24 Finns… The local Meijer has over 4 cases worth of Finn on the pegs… I saw an assistant manager at the store yesterday and asked if I could help package up the old inventory to ship back… he said he’d check into it but wasn’t sure it could happen.
Good luck and safe travels Finn
That sounds a good deal on the two packs. Because I have a hard time to find Finn McMissile with Leland Turbo and Uncle Topolino with Mama Topolino.
