Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Micro Drifters Singles Wave 2
So, Micro Drifters should be on the shelf at most Target stores by now.
Has wave 1 made it to the shelves at Walmart? Has anyone seen these at Walmart?
The next wave/case looks like it’s these three “new” ones:
Mater, Lightning & Raoul
Max Schnell, Lightning & Shu Todoroki
At this point, we don’t know if Lightning is repeated or if there are slight eye position and expression adjustments/versions. We have seen some “exclusive” expressions from the playsets/launcher, etc … but we don’t know if it carries over to the singles. The two Lightning McQueen’s in 2 of first 4 3-packs looks exactly the same. It’s not as noticeable since these are so tiny and it’s likely you will lose one pretty quickly.
The third ‘new’ one listed is:
Nigel, Jeff Gorvette & Francesco.
Without a case assortment, it’s also unknown if the case of 24 3-packs contains repeats from Wave 1 – seems likely but hard to say for certain.
So, how are they selling in your stores?
The racers look cute but is that enough? What do you think at $5.99 per 3-pack at Target? (TRU seems to be $1 more). Any on the shelf at Walmart?
You can see the packaging & variant packaging of Wave 1 in this post.

They are 5.97 at wal mart
Just stopped at a Walmart in Oregon and found several of the first wave micro drifters and the new Jeff pack and the new mater pack! Was so excited to see these but no shu though
Seen them one at Kmart, along with Take Flight. Waiting for Walmart to get them in, so i don’t pay more than i have too. I too, will not be buying packs with duplicates. They sound like fun.
Unreal that you end up with so many extra Lightnings…just terrible. We already have four: one each from the Mack truck, the Colossus, and the two sets of three that include him now.
So you will have 6 Mcqueens with the next 2 packs?
Reminds me of the diecast line case packing.
I am passing on these. They are cute.
I really like these Micro Drifters and hope they manage to become a great line. I just do not want Mattel to screw this up like every other line!
The only one I will buy is Nigel, Jeff, and Francesco because I DON’T WANT DIECAST AND MICRO DRIFTER DUPLICETS!
My son and I broke down the drifters video that was posted a few months ago because we thought we saw an apple car. Turned out it was Shu. Bummer.
I like this line.
I saw Rip on that video once.
Wave 1 is at Kmart too.
