Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: CARS Singles Spotting 2014
Since the 2014 Theme cards design does not look much different than the 2013, you do have to look closely … since some of 2014 releases include Lightning McQueen, Max Schnell & Francesco.
The main difference is the logo has changed from Disney • Pixar CARS to Disney World of CARS.
If you spot Marlon Clutches McKay, it’s CASE T.
While there’s nothing truely new in the case, there are CARS that have not appeared as singles packaging before or not for a while so if you spot Fillmore with Headset, Hydraulic Ramone, N20 Cola or Timothy Twostroke – you are looking at CASE T. CARS 2 Lightning McQueen is also called WGP Lightning McQueen now.
The other case is U/V. Case V contains the Super Chase, Trike Feldman but as usual, most retailers are not getting CASE V but its twin, CASE U. The ONLY difference is instead of Trike, there’s a RT Mater with Headset – first “regular” singles release – previously a special package Kmart exclusive single.
Since there’s only 1 of the 3 new CARS in the case (presuming your retail got CASE U), Magen, Carla Veloso with Flames and Acer with earpiece – unless the store got 3-5 cases, if you’re the 2nd person shopping, it’s likely you’ll have to spot Fillmore, Lewis Hamilton, Miguel Camino, or HH Piston Cup LIghtning on the new card design – CASE U. Or perhaps you might spot Shiny Wax.
Thanks for the great photos, “LaneChange.”

Not the “main” line singles, but TRUs has some new Radiator Springs
singles: found several Leroy Traffics and Brand New Maters on their
pegs today; back of card also shows Costanzo Della Corsa as a newbie
to their series…….most of the others there are repeats.
I’m looking forward to Sarge with headset so I can put the Lights and Sound one away. I’m also very excited to see several of the racers from the first Cars movie being rereleased. The Shiney Wax card back shows No Stall, Fiber Fuel, Spare O Mint, N2O and Sidewall Shine.
I’ve seen the first case of 2 packs with Gasprin and the first singles case with Timothy Twostroke. No deluxes or the latest case with Acer w/ Headset.
Do we have some type of case assortment like we had when the 2013 themes came out?
I’ve found dozens of case t and dozens of case u locally and I know the assortments. But I would love to have a larger assortment list like last year so I don’t have to buy 75% of the 2 cases right now since I’m a completist. If I had an assortment I could get the the couple that won’t be released again. Anything met?
My Target has put out two cases of Deluxe (the one with Nelson Blindspot & Chuck “Choke” Cables) and one Case U of Singles so far.
I’ve yet to see a single 2014 Cars item in a store other than the first case of short cards which includes Snot Rod with Flames, Race Team Fillmore with Headset, Lightning McQueen, Raoul Caroule, Francesco Bernoulli, Mater, and Ramone (purple)… I’ve seen them at Meijer stores.
