Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Singles Case G – On Deck
Now, that we are getting cases fast and furious, who knows, this might just show up in a few weeks …
Even the “new” CARS in this case are essentially re-releases but it’s a nice retail case – highlighting the wide spectrum of characters (well, maybe not yet more Francesco’s) so while it might be enticing enough to buy as an entire case but here’s to note:
“New”
Darrell Cartrip with headset is technically new though of course, he’s been often released, just the first time with headset and of course, he does not look much different than the lights and sounds version.
Mama Topolino while new to the singles packaging is not really new – released in a 2-pack last year though she has been upgraded to a unibody and while available in the 2-pack in Europe as a unibody, this is her first US release as a unibody. Unibody.
Miles Axelrod with opening hood is the first CHASE CARS of Themes 2013 cards.
Hard to Find Re-Releases
Sputter Stop has not available as a plastic tire CAR for a while (as a launcher or in a box set) and not as a single until way back in Kmart CARS Day 1.
Edwin Kranks – a few releases but hard to find.
And the rest.

Anyone know what the case assortment for the next deluxe case is? I saw 2 Dustin Mellows on the pegs at a Canadian Walmart yesterday but wasn’t sure what else was new (there was also a Kabuki Mater and Al Oft). The eBay prices for this one on the 2013 card backs are crazy and no North American sellers, almost makes me wish I paid the inflated Canadian price of $10.50 to re-sell it.
(MET: It sounds like CASE C, I’ll do an update in the next few days).
BTW Met, I need a Cars 2 collector guide, hint hint.
(MET: almost done …)
will not be buying this one as a case
i will buy the 2 i need separtely
There is good cholester and bad cholesterol…. This case is BAD chilestrol if you know what it does to human body… That’s apply to peg in the world of cars… I am sorry but 3 plastic Francesco, 3 Cactus McQueen and 3 Mater in one case is very hard to swallow… Max and Charlie Checker are not very popular… The chase Miles with open hood could be the hard one to get. The others may return in the coming cases… On a brighter side we are not done with the third month of the year and already we have almost 75% of the cars shown on the 2013 poster who will be available in US stores inthe coming few weeks. That will be interesting to see how the rest will be ditributed…. Are they just doing room for Planes by any chance??? Let’s see…
Shoooot… Just read myself… Not easy to not doing typos using phone keyboard…I did cholesterol 3 different ways ! 🙂
More Francescos?!?
Both of my WMs have had nothing but Francesco for WEEKS!
Nice to see Edwin and Sputter Stop, they both have great colors.
Other than Popemobile, Is Axlerod w/hood the first Cars mainline release that has moving parts?
Are propellers moving parts?
Pretty much all the haulers have moving parts…
In Toons series…
Is Beanie Hat Mater small propeller is moving? (Don’t know)
Is Dr. Abschlepp Wagen hood is moving? (Don’t know)
If we go to the extreme, can we consider Rastacarian and Rasta Mater having “moving” parts?
(MET: beanie does spin … But not counting haulers or Mack’s, pope mobile mobile is first oversized and miles is first hood opening … Only one car with remove able hair 🙂 ).
Every car has moving parts! They all have wheels! Lol
Taco Truck Mater has an opening side hatch.
Mama Topolino yay!
Cactus McQueen, Francesco, Mater, and Max are becoming the Pegwarmers for 2013. Having them all crammed in one Case was not a good decision on Mattel. Luckily they slightly made up for it having 3 each of Darrell w/ Headset, Sputter Stop, and Edwin Kranks.
I give this Case a C+ grade. It’s good, but not amazing.
2013 cases have been great, but they have been a roller coaster so far:
A – neat
B – great
C – neat
D – great
F – great
G – neat
H – ???
J – ???
K – ???
L – ???
M – ???
R – ???
I found the sputter stop launcher last week on the Toys R Us website. I didnt try to order it, but it showed as in stock.

Nearly half of this case will warm pegs unfortunately! But there are a couple good ones to be had!
Yay! We still need mama topolino so the chance of maybe finding her in the wild is exciting!

I found a two pack with mama topolino and uncle topolino at Ross. The packaging wasn’t the best but it was priced at $3.00. Would be great if you are an opener.
