In theory, the mail away offer for the 2 free Deluxe CARS is straightforward. Buy 5 CARS singles between 10/19 and 11/16, mail in your receipt and 5 cardbacks to the Mattel website address (fill out the form online), include P&H, and you’ll receive 2 free Deluxe CARS in a few days. The MAIN problem […]

Cardinal Pitty #1 & Cardinal Pitty #2 is presumably joined by Father Burke in a Movie Moment 3-pack? Or is Father Burke considered a “deluxe” and so it’s some other 3-pack but there are no listings for those so it seems more plausible they realize the wide hat does not really make these “deluxe” and […]

Every year, Mattel moves some stuff from their warehouses and puts up a tent near their corporate HQ in El Segundo to make a little extra before re-selling them to consolidators. This MOTU discount might enrage some – pretty steep … it’s the fabled white box of exclusivity (well, not so much now). Looks like […]

“Fernando V.” offers up photos of his upgrade for the Kmart CARS Day mail-away … Yep, his came in the fabled white box treatment for Radiator Springs John Lassetire & Muggsy Liftsome. These are boxes generally created by Mattel for exclusives. In the last mail away for Ivan, nearly all just came on card in […]

Yea, the Cardinals rule! (Not the St. Louis ones, this one below). Along with the other one. The other Cardinal Pitty, “Cardinal #2” Blessed it are the CARS Collectors. We might need to consult someone in removing these from the card. One more in the set coming tomorrow.  

It’s time to do the Topolino! One of the cutest CARS set ever … if not the cutest. It’s doubly nice is that’s it a 4-pack. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” Anyone who complains these are just 4 Guido repaints with plastic accessories is both a curmudgeon and should be booted from the […]

Coming in 2014 … Cardinal #1 Nearly everything you wanted to know about the Thurible. The Pope & Popemobile no longer stand alone.

TRU is having a nice sale this week – like a rollback to 2006 – 2 CARS singles for $5 – at TRU includes Radiator Springs Classic and any other singles you can find on the shelf. You “should” be able to price match at Walmart and Target. Of course, you could run into a […]

Not surprisingly, Mattel is still clearing the warehouses… Thanks for the nice photos, “Moe,” at his neighborhood Big Lots Discounters … (seems like a price lower than eBay?) You can also pick up some Gyro Speeders (not edible!) Thanks Moe!  

A NEW Lights Tuners Set! While it’s hard to tell scale from a photo, they are listed as diecast and the longest is listed at 4.25″ inches (presumably Toyko Mater), these should be the repeat releases of DJ, Boost and Wingo (as 1:43 scale – no reason to make a new scale) PLUS the new […]
