Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: World Grand Prix 10-Pack Summer Re-Run
Well, if you are just catching CARS 2 on cable and decide to start collecting, this returning 10-pack will get you 91% towards all the World Grand Prix racers ….
This came out last November and it looks there’s zero upgrade to any of the CARS. While Carla, Gorvette, Lightning & Miguel have gotten upgrades to 1-piece unibodies, these appear to the 2-piece front original releases so if you count CARS 2 as old school, then these will take you back all the way to June/November 2011.
Well, these must’ve sold okay as I have not seen any since last November so I guess that explains the price increase …
The third most expensive CARS box set?
… after the 2006 factory Set and MSOS set?
Yea, a little letdown gap between #1 and #3 … We’re number 3! We’re Number 3!
(psst. You can buy ’em all for @$3.49 each or @$34.99 for them on cards … and I’m betting some sellers will throw in LM & Francesco for free. 🙂 ).
BTW, You may have noticed Rip Clutchgoneski is not on the poster so I’m guessing it’s coming in 2013 (Mattel 2013, not calendar 2013) so hopefully November/December.

Welcome back to the internet, T5AD! 🙂
As for this box set, I would gladly buy one complete box set of the 11 racers, but this 10-pack will continue to be an easy pass for the Manifold family.
And I thought when the 10 packs went up to $46.99 from $44.99 they were expensive…
I’d consider buying this if it were an 11 pack with Rip… I’d only seen it once, at the end of May, in Indianapolis… I haven’t seen it listed on the TRU website.
I could buy this right now at Wal-Mart for $19.70 (10 singles).
eh….still no rip!? We want Rip! 🙁
This is Mattel’s strategy.
They hold back desired characters like David Hobbscap and Rip Clutchgoneski, while releasing characters that appear for 1.3 seconds in the movie like Becky Wheelin and Blue Maserati/Bindo.
And I’ve been longing to ask you Met, where do you find the listings/assortments? I’d rather complete my checklist early so I Don’t have to update my list every day 🙂
I doubt we will see him in a single for a while…this is there way of making money. They will just put him in an eleven pack for 60 dollars or something. I’m done being patient…:/
I really do wonder how they come up with these assortments and such, I mean, just put ALL the actual racers in a racer box and be done with it. If you want to sell lots, never release one or two any other way…hmmm like iCar perhaps.
