Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2013 Diecast: Collect By Theme Update
As you may know, the 2013 singes are “divided” by theme … now that we know the contents of the first two cases, presumably all the themes have been announced – all the CARS listed as coming NOT shown as part of the theme is now slotted … with one grouping exception …
The Barmaid from the bar scene where Mater & Finn cut a hole – might fall into this theme … filling in the last gap.
Lots of fun possibilities here outside of Sarge with Olive Oil can …
Since it looks like oversized Deluxe are slotted into the numbering system, it’s logical for IVAN to slot here …
Since regular CARS 1 Lightning fits into Piston Cup, guess that leaves only Leafy McQueen … until it blows into another category … wood it or would it knot?
There might be a CARS 1 Mater that goes here … or since they just conjured up a “sleepy” mater, anything is possible …
Will we get a re-release of the Queen and the actual appearance of Sgt. Highgear? Or Andy Gearsdale, the military Hummvee?
If you add the Deluxe-oversized, it’s definitely all filled … but it’s hard to tell if 2-packs count as one which it might as the Movie Moments seem to only be assigned one number, that would mean there’s another slot as Darrell & Bob Cutlass only counts as one.
With oversized CARS counting in the numbering, there are only two “old timer” releases not pictured.
What other two rusted CARS fit or is it like Vern, somewhat random? Mack might fit here?
The only ones on the list that I have slotted anywhere are the three Japanese Contestant CARS from the “Wipeout” Game Show Mater & LM watch on the plane. They are listed as singles so do they belong here?
Not sure about the missing WGP racers (surprise, it’s not RIP missing!) … since MM’s count – that means the missing WGP racers will only in box sets? Of course, they are all re-releases.
Missing one or two as Mack might be a Piston Cup theme …

Grem w/ Gun is the same Car as Grem with Weapons in the Airport Adventure series.
MET, can we get an article on what of these 2013 releases are actually new Cars 1 vehicle releases (and new Cars 2 vehicle releases)? I only collect Cars 1 and I can’t think which of these may be NEW vehicle releases.
Thanks!
(MET: There are a few … scroll down to the bottom of this post for links to the breakdown by film).
Thanks, MET. Somehow I missed that post. Is it still at those 6 new ones for Cars 1? I see that was posted in September. Anything new arise since then? Thanks!
(MET: Well, the photos on the card and list are not a perfect match (not a surprise) – for instance, that “Sleepy Mater” was not on any list … and we seem to have a much longer list of MM’s than slots so … it’s a starting point …).
What was the last NEW Cars 1 release before these upcoming 6? Was it the ones from Kmart Day 6 (rubber tire Chick Hicks and The King)?
Do you know the answer to the above, MET?
Thanks, MET. So still 6 we know of for now…
The Body Shop Ramone is the same as the new DS Ramone.
In the Mater’s Category, wouldn’t it make more sense for Taco Truck Mater to be in it than a regular Mater? I know it’s only been released internationally, but technically it is still released.
Yes, and there is an empty slot, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Hey Met,
The two packs definitely count as two cars. Look at this image
On the left is 3/17 and on the right is 4/17.
Palace Chaos looks promising.
I wonder if there was a reorganization in Mattel? It seems like someone else has taken over this line…. we can only hope .
Thanks for the great update, Met! I wonder why there’s not a Paris theme…weren’t they doing the mime, the kissing Citroens, and a wider-release Celine? (And in case Tomber’s coming back, though he may never go away!)
Francesco Fan Mater in the Maters category? I think he was on the list.
Thank you for another great article, Met.
I believe Tex Dinoco and Mrs. The King part of the Piston Cup series… if the Movie Moments count as one each, that could fill the slot.
I guess we’d be asking too much for Tach O Mint with plastic tires?
Wow, wait til my boy see’s this! He is going to flip!!!
