The new Hess Truck for 2013 is out + plus Tractor this year. If you don’t live on the Eastern seaboard, anyone can order them from their website. Plus, there’s a fun photo database of every one available since 1964.

The included Lightning McQueen is plastic but it looks like it should work with diecast CARS. Thanks for the nice photos, “Lane Change.”   The main selling point seems to be that you can connect the Ramone’s and Luigi’s though clearly whomever designed this “feature,” seems to have never actually watched CARS, the movie. So, […]

Thanks for the heads up, “John H.” Amazon has the Arturo Gift Set for $7.99 – Prime shipping free, otherwise, a $35 purchase nets you free shipping. You can check out more photos HERE. Thanks John! Others are also discounted! Amazon has the El Chupacabra Gift Set down to $5.99, the Dusty one at $9.51  and Ripslinger at $9.58. Unfortunately […]

Hard to believe “Forest Gump” was 20 years ago. Funny, I can name 99% of the video games and console – guess I know what I was doing in 1994. 🙂

Well, one Micro Drifter can be considered canon … Technically, the Lightning Store seems to only offer CARS 1 Lightning. That 1:6 scale Lightning on the right seems to be the right size in comparison to Cartney. (well, 1/6 scale in CARS World). Or one of these Lightning for scale next to Cartney Brakin’.  

“Anthony C.” sends along nice photos of “French Rochelle.” As you know, Rochelle is repainted in other  language version of PLANES. This is the French version which is mostly the same as the US English version. The US English version has the words “powder” on the body (or is it ‘ponder?’). The French version basically […]

Well, it’s He Said-Walmart Said but when you attempt the price match thing, apparently not getting the price match is NOT the worst thing that can happen to you … You can read more (also video) at ABC15 – Arizona.  

Going by all the automotive ads, it seems that everyone is gifting real cars … another Bentley! Maybe I can re-gift it? Well, if you need a big red bow for the cars you’ll be gifting, Amazon has them.  

While the photo was released a while, the Arturo PLANE with tent and Pitty has finally been released. “John H.” sends along some nice photos. This design and look of this PLANE type is one that is coming again on several PLANES to be released soon including the Swedish racer and “Yellow Bird.” I’m guessing […]

“LaneChange” also sends along some new cardback shots. While there’s nothing really new here, it’s nice to see the photo confirmation of more Alex Hugo with Party Hat and Ivan coming in 2014. And the first shot of the WGP Tow Truck Deluxe Oversized CAR named Towin’ Eoin. Looks nice.   Wonder what the other […]
