Just to recap the checklist magazines for newcomers. Issues 1 through cover the first 6 years of CARS diecast collecting – for the most part, there was a design motif change once a year and each issue covers every diecast, playset, box sets, etc of the Mattel 1:55 series shown both mint on card, sealed […]

Hey CARS! Ah, the restock, reset and re-configuration is finally here! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep. About 11 pegs down – 6 rows across times about 6 CARS per peg, that’s just about 1,000 Finn’s, Lightning, Mater’s and some Franceso’s. No need to order any more cases. Enough CARS to last the holiday season. There are only 4 […]

If you love your variants and you know it, clap your hands … I think that’s how the song goes … Collecting CARS 1 variants was not that difficult, out of some 650 releases, there was probably only about 25 major variants and maybe another 15 minor variants – percentage wise, pretty low. You can […]

A fan pulled together clips of every Pixar film as a 25-year anniversary tribute … What’s even better – Pixar didn’t just send a lawyer after him but instead … “Pixar Studios contacted me to say they loved my video. They even sent me a package of $470 worth of stuff, including all 11 movies […]
