Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: It’s Going to be a Walmart Red Christmas After All!
On Honda Civic, On Ford Fusion, On ML 350 … it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
After some doom and gloom, it looks like things might be returning to normal and “holley” jolly!
Walmart is getting CARS!
It is a Christmas miracle – thanks “JD” for the heads up and photos!
(those are singles CASES – the new singles are Y0471). This store will get 5 to get dumped into this bin – hopefully yours will also. It also comes with Hot Wheels and Monster Jam. The display is scheduled for December 10th but it may be up earlier in your store – careful, it might not be in the CARS section but near stocking stuffers.
Definitely some CASE B’s in the mix.
Brian T. notes that in his area, they are listed as $3.88 but scan at 3.47 and already out on the floor.
So, it’s looking much better – apparently Walmart has more in the system coming so hopefully it’s not regional or isolated but nationwide, so jingle jangle those car keys … remember – you probably need replacement goldfish, tarp and candles, right? Let us know what you see and send us a pic of you throwing your kid into the bin to root out the Rip Clutchgoneksi!
For those of you glass half-fullers, 5 cases of CASE A means nearly 50 Lightning’s and Francesco’s … make sure you bury those somewhere else in the store.
Maybe 2013 will be like 2009? One can now breath a small sigh of relief …
Thanks JD & Brian T!
And Mark F.’s Walmart is looking mighty nice – perhaps the great Mattel-Walmart valley rift is finally over …
Yes, he did buy the Rip Clutchgoneksi … brave of him to take a pic while it lingers on the pegs … before snagging it. 🙂

saw these had just been put out at our local walmart, I left them there.
Went to the local target. No deal, and they had nothing in back waiting to be put out tonight and nothing new on the shelf. What a bust!!!,
The $3.88 price is for the Hot Wheels Monster Jam vehicles that come in the 2nd bin of the display. The 3rd bin is full of Hot Wheels Mystery Vehicles for $1.07 each.
So many new cars!! Can’t wait to (hopefully!) find these!
Just got back from target. Run there now!!!!! Apparently every store has a 2013 case b as of today that isn’t supposed to go out on the floor until tonight after the store closes . My target had them on sale for 1.99 . Sorry for anyone in my area i bought the whole case. Ask an associate nicely and they will probably get it from the back. This is awesome first new cars in a long long time . Good luck!!
ANDYP how do you know that these cases aren’t to be put out until tonight after hours? Did somebody at target tell you this or do you have a connection? I find that half of the stuff store employees tell me end up being incorrect….just wondering if I should head to target and sneak into the back room tonight or not!
I don’t know how you knew, but you were right. I went this morning to 3 Targets and scored 3 Rips. Two of the three stores had 2 cases of B, and one store had remnants of Case B on the pegs with the Rip already gone.
Interesting… it appears that if you buy a 2-pack, it’s 6 cents cheaper rather then buying 2 singles.
YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got to Walmart this morning, nothing. Should have checked for a holiday bin… By the time I realized, I’m already home…
Found all of these including Rip in my So.Cal Walmart today! With these and the case P that arrived earlier this week, this has turned out to be the BEST year-end haul of all time for me! Lots of new stuff!! 😀
Both WM’s here in Watertown, NY had the dump bin but no Rip or Petey Pacer. Those are case B right? The bins look like they were just put out so I guess I’ll check back in a few days.
By the way does anyone know who 34, 36, and 38 are in the numbering. I seem to be missing those and haven’t been able to figure out who they belong to. I know these new ones going forward will have their own numbering system.
36 doesn’t have a release, but 34 is Acer with Torch and 38 is Celine Dephare.
34 Acer with Torch, 38 Celine Dephare…. No idea who is number 36 tough.. He is a nice pictorial database of cars. In French but you do not need to know french to navigate through this http://bdd.worldofcars-forum.fr/serie.php?serie=Cars+2
(MET: It’s presumed #36 was saved for Rip – obviously not released in the Porto Corsa series).
There are only 49 Cars 2 singles according to the Kmart days poster, even though the last # single is #50 Sir Harley Gassup. If you have the poster remember Luigi and Guido are #10 and #11 even though they are in one pack.
Petey is in case ‘A’, and Rip is in case ‘B’. (2 Peteys and 1 Rip per case)
If you see Cactus McQueen you’ve found the remnants of case ‘B’.
So what exactly is in that case? I found the left overs and only 1 Suki 🙁
My Walmarts got the Hot Wheels Dump Bins and put those out.
No sign of any Cars bins at all. But found 2 Case B yesterday at one Walmart one on the pegs and the other case on the Toy pallets in the Garden Section.
My local WM put out 2 cases of A on the pegs. No sign of a dump box. Target had 4 cases of B this morning. Best day of my life!
Targets here in Denver got the A/B cases at pretty much the same time SoCal did, so I have the new ones. But I would love to get my hands on those new two-packs. And an extra Rip or two would be nice 🙂
So far, the Walmarts I’ve visited here do not have the displays yet. Glad to see a date.
Rip is on the shelves!! Things are looking good in the Cars universe!
One thing I have to clear up is there are definetely only 4 cases of A in the shipper. It’s a 96 count for sure. I have cracked open several.
Even more exciting is the Case B’s showing up on the pallet drops to replenish the shippers. Several stores I visited already received case B’s. From what I saw and have heard from others most stores are getting either 2 or 4 case B’s in. So nice to finally find some Rips in the wild. Have to say Petey Pacer is a pretty cool car too.
Are we positive it will be the 2013 cases? I haven’t seen anything past Mel Dorado here in NY and I’m afraid that we’ll get a Case D or something that I’ve already seen a dozen times… let’s hope it’s these ones!
MUST-GET-TO-WALMART!!!
I’ve never been able to snap a photo when there’s new stuff on the pegs, you never know who will walk up and grab them!
Agreed – usually upon finding something new (especially a Rip in the wild!) my hands are too shaky to be even thinking about a photo. Or I wait until the items are on “lock-down” in my cart.AND honestly…. I am surprised that there isn’t a photo-bomb hand reaching to the peg where Rip is.
