“Unixed” has tracked down the three newest Disney Store diecast CARS. Thanks for the great photos! Prince Wheeliam is online and one of the rare non-CHASE diecasts from the Disney Store. As the Disney Store CARS are all metal, this Bentley should weigh a ton! A purple version of Tuner Tokyo Mater is also available […]

Disney is going new old-school in creating a bunch of new Mickey Mouse cartoons that harken back to the day when Mickey was a scamp and full of hijinks – also done in the style of the 1930’s Mickey. The first one debuted back in March but now they’ll appear once a week every Friday […]

Thanks to “John H,” we can get a nice closeup of the PLANES Gift Sets … there are three out now (with the next three shown in this post). You get the “singles” PLANE, the pit crew Pitty and a “hanger tent.” If you are collecting the Pitty’s, they are apparently ONLY available in the […]

Yes, I think Rip Clutchgoneski is a nice release … But let’s not get blinded by the light … you know so you’re not cut loose like a deuce, – like you’re just another runner in the night … you know what I mean. There is no need to pay up to $40 for Rip […]

Of course, the final verdict won’t be in until the film actually comes out for a real comparison of scale, scope and size comparison in their scenes … But “John H.” sends along some great pics to begin to weigh the evidence … You can find earlier coverage on the scale of PLANES HERE & […]

So far in the stores that have received PLANES products like TRU below, the diecasts seem to be selling well. The two closest Targets only have a scattering of product but the movie is still 5 weeks away. The playsets don’t seem to have much action – has anyone bought and tested out the playsets?

It’s been nearly a week so why not a change in plans? :-/ It looks like now the PLANES PIT ROW GIFT SETS are available everywhere – not Walmart exclusives. The updated listing no longer says anything about Walmart Exclusive. In fact, “Danrio” has already found the Ripslinger Gift Set at Target … Interesting that […]

The race day exclusives have showed up at my local Target BUT … These are not the CARS “exclusives.” but rather swaps from someone’s open collection. While I certainly don’t condone this – however by Mattel demanding that collectors pay up to $76* for 3 character diecasts just beggers the situation for abuse. (With taxes […]

Looks like “Quercy” has tracked down the new Frosty 2 that will be an Australia exclusive … will it be a Chase? A Super Chase? Will the promotions be around Fall, 2013 like last year? Here’s the race schedule for the Australia V8 Supercars Series. I think last year, the first promotions was at the […]

It looks like Kmart has all CARS products and some PLANES products on sale through Monday July 8th. Remember the Ivan promotion runs until August 8th. It doesn’t just have to be diecast – anything from Mattel (includes Fisher Price? Owned by Mattel) also counts. Oversized deluxe are on sale until Oversize until 7/20 (for […]
