Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Toys R Us “New” Radiator Springs Classic 3-Packs
The Toys R Us only Radiator Springs Classics series adds 2 more 3-Pack gift Sets …
“Fancy New Road,” – Doc Hudson has not been out in a while and neither has green Ramone so a good catchup set.
This is a nice starter 3-pack but Lightning, Sally and Sheriff are pretty easily available as singles, 2-packs and in other box sets but it’s a nice gift set for those just joining the CARS collecting scene/crowd/wacky mill-abouts … 3 down, 997 to go … 🙂
The box back just features both these sets so no clues as to any future releases.
And for those who enjoy pondering the imponderables, why is FANCY NEW ROAD™ but not RADIATOR SPRINGS ESCAPE? Did I get some first year associate in trouble? 🙂

I found them here (Austria) in our TRU too. I didn’t check the price tough. I’m passing this ones too. It is really sad to see that Mattel is not going forwards with new cars 🙁
Speaking of multi-packs, I was off my usual route on Saturday and visited a Target store in Auburn, CA, hoping to find anyhing new. I had been looking in Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Roseville and Sacramento. The only “new” thing that i found was a $12.99 price on Movie Moments packs (singles, by the way, were priced the same at stores in the aforementioned cities). I grabbed one package and inquired at Guest Services as to why their price was over 50% more than any of the other stores I had been to in the past week and was told that prices can vary from one store to another (granted, but, again, by over 50% ?). They then told me, that as a courtesy, they would price match if I had a sale ad with a lower price (for what, the regular price?). They didn’t seem to comprehend why their carded singles were priced at $3.49 and the Movie Moments were $12.99, almost twice as much per car! They suggested that, perhaps the other stores I had been to had theirs on clearance. I politely asked them to put the package into their “go backs”, received a cordial “Thank you” and left the store. That was bizarre !
it looks like they brought back the mater with his nose (air filter) painted black…it was lost along the way (since 2006)
these will be good for new collectors or those who missed them when they were out
my TRU still has not had one 2013 diecast car
it looks like TRU has decided not to participate in the new diecast cars
I saw Fancy New Road this week but left it… $14.99 for a 3 pack containing all repeats of common Cars I already have is too much money… had Fancy New Road (or Fixing the Road) contained a Bessie, I’d have definitely bought it… With Doc on an elevated insert, the box needs to be taller – he’s hard to see.
I think it’s supposed to be symbolic of Doc in Heaven looking down upon Radiator Springs.
