Disney Pixar CARS: Disney Store Frank CARS Tractor Tipping Set – The Count?
“Unixed” sends along an interesting photo of the outside cardboard of his Disney Store Frank CARS Frank-Tractor Tipping Set …
As you’ll note, there’s only one set inside each box so it looks like the initial shipment consisted of about 1,500 Frank 6-pack’s. Thanks, “Unixed.”
While it reads sold out for now, more are coming – not sure when so keep checking the page HERE. As noted, another 500-700 seemed to appear on Friday – now SOLD OUT again.
Hopefully it’s before Christmas but the Disney Stores probably thought 2,200-2,500 (?) would last them through the season (it’s unclear if the Disney Store NYC Times Square got a different allotment or separate of the 1,500 + 700 but in any case, they seem sold out also) … so in all likelihood, it seems that the restock won’t show up until after Christmas since pretty much everything that normally shows up for Christmas is in stores now (in-store might mean stuck in the backroom because there is so much stuff stacked up they can’t get to it but it’s there – of course, in this case, it’s irrelevant since the only actual store to get it is the NYC Times Square store which seems emptied out thanks to intrepid T5ers who have scoured every shelf there. 🙂 ).
But feel free to call and check every few minutes 🙂 … (212) 626-2910 and ask if they have Item No. 6172036510093P – CARS Tractor Tipping Set.

Topherdawg, are you talking about the Tractor tipping game? I did manage to scoop one up on eBay finally Yesterday, I think I paid $30 + shipping. I am still hoping to find one of the new release one’s from Disney to put up on his shelf in his room.
When were they back online? What time of day ? Was it Friday? I was checking very few hours and never saw them as available :/
Thought it was wierd also with the number on the side of the box. I have 1502 of 1502. I was wondering is 1502 is all they made. Seems like such a small supply for something that is in such demand.
WOW, you may have the very last one!
I would get your son one of the Mattel sets that TRU recently started selling again. Frank is plastic, but they are $19.99 I believe and it comes with 3 tractors that mount on a track, plus a Lightning McQueen.
I agree with Tdawg. My boys have the El Materdor and Tokyo Mater playsets.
The Frank playset will be brought by Santa. For younger kids, these plastic versions are fine at a fraction of the cost.
I am new here and joined just because of Frank so I hope I am able to get some information, help, ANYTHING. Could anyone tell me a good place to look for Frank other than the obvious eBay or Amazon? I am learning alll about the fact that he is rare along with the different model’s, plastic Vs. Diecast, sizes etc by all of the searching I have done.
I have a 3 1/2 year old. For some reason he must have just sensed that Frank was the most Rare vehicle from the Cars movie so that is the one he became fixated on. My son has literally asked me to buy him a Frank every day for the past year and a half. The other day he told me he loves Santa and he is going to be a good boy so Santa will bring him Frank. So of course the world found out about my son’s obsession and is secretly plotting to drain me of every dime I have in my pocket by selling him on eBay for an amount that is completely ridiculous for a toy for a 3 1/2 year old! But Alas, I am a Mommy and me joining a forum just for the toy is proof enough that Mommy’s will do anything for their babies when they want something bad enough. I have been on non stop eBay watch for 3 days trying to get a decent one. It looks like it’s not going to happen. I understand the whole supply and demand and I understand being a collector etc but I am just a Mommy who want’s a toy for their child, I should not have to pay $100+ for a TOY the size of a hot wheels :o( … Just a frustrated Mommy and or SUCKER lol… So I wanted to see if any of the pro’s could lead me in the right direction. I do know about the Frank this post is about, trust me I am like a hawk watching the Disney store website, I even called every store within a 100 mile radius but I don’t know if this is an online exclusive because they had not heard of it. I was told to call back Tuesday to see if it had come in.
(MET: First, your son is a super genius which is nice. 🙂 Frank has been hard to find since 2009 so it’s nothing new and yea, it pretty much popped up at the Disney Store for a few minutes/hour at a time. The NYC Disney Store is apparently the ONLY actual store to get it in stock … you can try calling the Disney store and telling your story, they might be willing to do the mail order thing especially if you just want one – otherwise, you might leaving a note in the forum and see if maybe the NYC store can hold one for you and someone in the NYC area can go pick it up for you … good luck – sorry I don’t have a more definitive answer for you).
Thanks!! I was watching the Disney store last night and they took the sold out Frank completely off the website :o/ So for now I will stick to stalking eBay. I did manage to photoshop a picture of Frank and make a light plate switch for him and I’m about to go make him a vinyl of Frank for his wall with my cricut machine, I did manage to score the Cars cartridge and it has frank on it! If anyone does see that Frank comes back on the store PLEASE let me know, replies will go straight to my phone.
This was the 3rd Sold Out that they’ve had. I missed the 2nd round as I posted that they were online again on here before I completed my cart. haha. 🙂
I got an order in before it said SOLD OUT again. I already have Frank & those 3 tractors so I think I’ll save this set for a very special trade item.
If you received them you may want to open and check the contents, I received one where Franks front wheel was completely off and sitting at the front of the box in front of Mater. The other one’s plastic packaging was broken while the contents appear to be OK. The warehouse person would not have seen this as they appear to have come in the factory boxes as seen above.
That’s good to know. I’ll make sure to open and check before giving it.
I bet the clerks at the Times Square store have just dreaded answering the phone for the last couple weeks.
Oh they are used to it. I bet even more people called for Doc McStuffins merchandise than anything this year. Right now if your a parent of around a 3 or 4 year old girl your probably in desperate need of Doc toys. Doc McStuffins is huge in the little girl sect.
My 2 are on their way thanks to a very kind person who gave us the heads up they were back online! Will make a nice Christmas surprise for my son =)
