First diecast preview of Towin Eoin, the CARS WGP Race Tow Truck … He’s an IVECO truck … Looks nice. Front cab should be metal diecast. The fender/mouth piece is probably plastic as the Race Track Ambulance looks to be another IVECO truck so that’s where they can make an expression change.     No […]

The next Deluxe Case, J contains 2 Jungle Miles. 2 of the Paris Bus (presumably this one): So far so good but of course, the last 2 in the case – Mack. Of course, Jungle Miles is supposed to be available ‘first to market’ at Kmart so this case might show up slightly after the […]

Supposedly a “first to market” at Kmart but we know how well the last attempt to ‘first to market’ worked AND this case also contains Chuck ‘choke’ Cables, Red & Mack so clearly only Jungle Miles in this case will be “first to market.” And a close up of the back section. Obviously they can’t […]

Thanks for the nice photos, “Lane Change!” Three have arrived as singles: Bravo, Echo & Jolly Wrenches Dusty. The new release is Hector Vector, the helicopter.

If you haven’t picked up a copy of this: Disney Pixar CARS: Character Encyclopedia – $12.95 at the Disney Store. It sells for $18-$22 elsewhere. I don’t think it’s available in stores – maybe if you have a mega sized Disney Store. You even get a free diecast, a metallic paint version of “Lightning McQueen with […]

Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Dracula Mater – Count It

Dracula Mater is not an easy one to find. Released in one of the last Deluxe Cases of 2013, maybe now after the holidays, Mattel will sell a few more since the cards of 2014 look essentially like the cards of 2013 and Mattel has not re-started the CASE numbering sequence for the most part. […]

Nothing like an old school … releases still hanging around on the pegs. “Sarah S.” sends us this nice pic from Germany. I believe this was only released in the US as “Cruisin’ Ramone?” I think “Old School Ramone” was on Canadian and English EU cards? Australia? So for card completists, your Collect ’em All […]

Looks like Gunnar Viking has landed on the pegs. Not sure what case this is from – CASE G? Presumably the rest of case are repeats?  Looks like Ishani is back? Thanks for the heads up and photos, “Lane Change.”

I did not think it was possible for an actual human to dance like that … 🙂 Yes, it’s past Christmas but it’s never not fun to hear the Peanuts Christmas song.
