Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Micro Drifters Launch Party
Mattel threw a Micro Drifters launch party last week – “John H.” was kind enough to represent T5 and took some great pics. Thanks!
They set up a nice ramp …
Comments from John H … “the kids were free to play with them at will. It was great fun. They dropped buckets of cars down the large chute. It was OK for kids to take a few home too. (And I bet museum staff will be finding MDs in nooks and crannies for weeks!”
Collect ’em all!
Since we’ve gotten about 20 released so far, this display shows off the next 40 or so releases.
I took a stab at identifying the 60 Cars in the photos I sent you.
There are some duplicates and a couple of variations making ID harder. Seem to be 54 discrete releases which actually divides by three; 18 three packs, but who knows. I think they could assure a good launch for this line by releasing all 11 Cars 2 racers ASAP and make none of them scarce.
