I just got back from my disney world vacation today and I can report that the star wars event will have no new cars. I asked about cars after the star wars ride and a very knowledgeable employee informed me of what was going to be their but since it was nothing that interest me I cannot remember for the life of me what that was. They did however have the disney themed star wars characters of donald as some captain dude, huey duey and luey as the jawas, pluto as r2, mickey as luke sky and a few others. I can also say that disney prices have gotten insane. The star wars cars from last year are now ten bucks a pop and the radiator springs memories packs or whatever are 34.95-44.95 for the one with mcqueen, mater and stanley. So I unfortunately decided not to buy it although I did want it for our collection, the build a light saber was cool though and my son did get one of those.
I haven’t seen any new “Planes” in any of the stores this year. One exception might be “Arturo” in one of the Target multi packs, but I was able to get him (with pitty) in the Pit Row Gift Set from Amazon.com months ago.
“Cars” have fared a little better, although I have yet to see a Super Chase car in the wild in the Sacramento area. And I have yet to see any of the bins described above at Walmart.
After searching for nearly a month, I finally found the bin at my 12th Walmart. I found one lonely Magen Carrar at the bottom, but it had been well picked-over otherwise.

(MET: They have announced a 2-pack of Tractors as Sand Troopers).
I guess he wasnt so knowledgeable.

Wonder how recent the photo is. The dump bin looks relatively fresh. I’ve been figuring that if they had them, they were on the floor in February.
The last time I saw the dump bin was February 15th.
My local Walmart put it out March 10.

My Walmart sometimes just pegs all the goods and scraps the bin.
I have never seen a Cars/Planes bin in any of my area Walmarts…sigh
I have a bunch of these around me, it’s always 80% planes and the few Cars in there are all on bent cards from being manhandled to death
