Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Lee Racé & Guido with Sign
Thanks “Wraukn” for a first look at the international cards of the next singles case – Y.
Lee Racé – I guess he’s pronounced “Racey”?
Chase – regular Chases are available overseas.
Looks great.
And the first release of Guido without Luigi in a while – Pit Crew Member Guido was also with accessories.
The sign is the oddity. As you can see from the US/English version of CARS 2, the sign reads Team Lightning McQueen. So, why is the sign in Spanish? Yes, Equipo El Rayo converts to TEAM.
The EU rules are that the packaging must not be in English only – parts of the game/toy inside can contains stickers in English so there’s no real reason why the sign can’t be in English.
So, the question is if Wheel Well Guido with a sign in Spanish is EU only? It is an odd decision if that’s the case – as Spanish is the official language in one country in Europe. Will the US get the Spanish version also? Did Mattel get an intial screenshot of the Spanish language version of CARS 2? The sign might make sense in Italian (even at the Wheel Well) but this looks to be an oddball situation wether it’s Spanish worldwide or Spanish for international releases only? Stay tuned.
Thanks for the great photos, “Wraukn.”

MET, equipo means team in Spanish…rayo means lightning…so it says Team of Lightning McQueen.
The drugs and alcohol case.
Wake me up when someone actually finds a new case in a store. It’s been Boring lately.
Yea no kidding, I have not seen any new single cars in over a month. I did however, find a ton of new radiator springs playsets yesterday at TRU. They had at least 3 new tracks and a couple of radiator springs playsets.
Buried in the credits for ‘Cars 2′ is the name Lee Rase’ … so it’s another nod to a Pixar employee.
I like Lee’s safety glasses, cool Car.
I already have 3 different Guido’s with plastic scaffolding… bartender Guido, pit crew Guido and painter Guido.
Why isn’t Guido’s sign in Italian? Anyway, looking forward to getting both of these.
They missed a great opportunity to put Guido’s license plate bow tie on.
The cardback clearly shows “Team Lightning McQueen” on the sign. I’m surprised the Mattel logo doesn’t read “El Stupido”.
OH Man! I gots ta get a couple of Lee’s. That flask is killer and so much down my science related “alley”!
