Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 1 Diecast: CARS 1 Now More Regular and Not So Exclusive …
CARS 1 will return to the MAINLINE SINGLES and will be in EVERY Case assortment coming in “2013.”
So, will they sport the Radiator Springs Classic look intermixed with the next card design for CARS 2 (London?) ??
Will they sport the CARS 2 CARS card design?
Will they sport an entirely new and different look/card from Radiator Springs Classics at TRU?
Will Radiator Springs Classic card/line still even be available at TRU?
??
???
If we don’t get answers, we don’t have long to wait – the first “2013” singles case will ship in October 2012 …
So, if you’re looking for CARS 1 diecasts, here’s a preview look at the first batch of releases coming …
Yes, Marlon Clutches McKay makes the CUT AGAIN! ๐
There is some overlap with the Radiator Springs Classic series but not really, so it seems both will run concurrent – For instance, TRU’s Radiator Springs Classic line has Mater but not original Lightning McQueen on card … a breakdown of each is coming.
But going forward?
Will newbies know that CARS 1 Lightning is on this card but Mater is only at TRU?
??
There is an abundance of old school classic design automobiles – maybe just left over from the last run of Final Lap CARS?
So, what do you think?
Greta,hank,rusty,dusty,milo,and the other rusty car are all ones i still need! Mattel, do it right or not at all. Please.
I missed out on Donna Pits and Jonathon Wrenchworths.
I also missed on Mini, Sally with Cone, Vitoline pitty, and Easy Idle Pitty.
-Kenny,
I would love to be able to find Donna Pits and the rusty green guy this time around!
I’d like to add Brian Souvenir and Polly puddlejumper. To think I coulda saved a few bucks on at least 5 of these.
(MET: Well, unless you bought them yesterday :-/ … who knows what will get re-released – besides Mater & LM (and Marlon Clutches McKay), as you can see from the prelim list, it’s pretty random).
wow, I think we still need the checkered flag. Of course we still need lugi/guido paint cans and a couple of the toons.
Happy to see them return.
waiting for wedding day and retro ramone
Dexter with checkered flag?? or just Dexter, Its the only one on that list i didnt get, and now is over 100 dollars on Ebay.
Noticed the comment further down Met! Ebay now floods with Checkered flag Dexters. ๐
I’d be happy with 2 of the Harley Davidson colored one!!!
What is the name of the car 2nd down in the middle?
Hank “Halloween” Murphy — he was available on the Race-o-Rama cardback about 3 years ago.
Already own all of these ๐ Even though I say this, I’ll probably end up buying them. I really hope these will be numbered though. Don’t know what it is but it just bugs me so much. ๐
I’m glad I was able to take advantage before the King was released. I sold 2 loose ones online for up to $20 on Ebay. My starting price was $0.99.
New Cars, please.
Can I just ask why Marlon seems to be hated? I don’t have him and I thinks he’s really cool!
(MET: Not hated but seems a odd choice to be available so frequently when others have a longer waiting list).
Oh alright! Iโve never seen him (stopped looking at the cars when lentys came out) so Iโm excited to get him!
Great assortment. And as for Vern, was he even a pegwarmer as a Final Lap? Wasnโt it just the Lenty?
Out of these I still need:
Donna Pitts
Johnathan Wrenchworths
Dexter Hoover w/ Checkered Flag (will it be the Checkered Flag for sure?)
And out of these I have but as Lenticulars are:
Vern
McQueen w/ Cone
Marlon โClutchesโ McKay
I hope they start releasing new Cars 1 Releases as well, like Mildred Bylane and Dan Sclarkenberg.
2013 is looking to be a lot better year than this wasโฆ..
(MET: Yep, says Checkered Flag – that’s not to say it’s 100% but for now, it is … I should have the “new” CARS list ready by next week).
Have all these as classics.
I could get excited if Mattel would throw a bone to us long time collectors by finishing the original line. what happened to the cars we saw as protos at Peterson, SDCC?
Mildred Bylane, Bernie Caliper, Percy Hanbrake, Dan Sclarkenberg, Yellow Truck, Wilmar Flatzz non lenticular, Mood Springs Pitty please.
I know you made them Mattel, as they have been sold back door, so where are you hiding them. ๐
Mattel, what are you thinking? Vern the taxi cab was a huge peg warmer, even Big Lots couldn’t give them away. Please bring back some hard to find car, tractors would be great, not Vern.
Met, how about a T5AD poll, which Cars to reissue?
Todd!
Bubba.
I actually got mine at Big Lots…when lenticulars came out I stopped looking at the Cars so I missed out on a lot of characters.
This is cool! Time to stop bidding on ebay with these coming out! New cars to get for my son.
Totally agree!! Bye bye Ebay!!! ๐
These have all been released as non-lentys and I have them…yet…I want them again. What has mattel done to me?
Everything old is new again. Got to love it.
NOOO!!!! I was hoping there would be at least one car I never found in the golden age (excluding Dexter).
My complete list:
Milton Calypeer
Fred Rescale
Fred Bumper Sticker Chase
Chuki Kanju Chase
Todd
Vitoline Pitty
Mini
Mario Andretti Chase
Ferarri Chase
The King with Piston Cup
Hooman
Coriander Widetrack
Also why the heck is there Nitroade and RPM without Leak Less? Are we free :)?
We have all these cars, but it will be nice to replace the lenty ones we have with painted eyes to go on display.
There is a lot that I dont have in here.
More questions:
Will we ever see Tractor again?
Did Leak Less finally leave Nitroade?
Will Sputter Stop be renamed Sputter O Stop?
Will we see 1:55 scale Fred or 1:110 Fred as pictured?
Will Dexter Hoover ever get his Final Lap white flag?
No Doc Hudson?
Speaking of Doc, did Lizzie also die an unexplainable death?
Will Sarge ever return as a single* for the first time since the Recall 5+ years ago?
*painted eyes, no gas can, and not “95” sticker
(MET: Yes, no and maybe – but you didn’t hear it from me).
