Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: San Diego Comic Con Sad Clown
The news does not look good for the CLOWN CARS coming to San Diego Comic Con 2014.
It was probably too much wishful thinking but it almost seems certain it’s something else.
Are you sitting down? You should clear the room of kids and anyone who might think you have the onset of Tourette’s syndrome … when you hear what looks like the SDCC offering?
Yep, it’s Ransburg Metallic Neon Racers Shu & Lightning … in a light up box. Apparently, these will actually glow in the dark.
“John H.” sent along these nice pics of the current Neon Racers. These are NOT photos of the SDCC set but they should look pretty much like these.
Yea, I think Shu has the expression locked down on what we think of this news.
Lightning’s expression – we should call him Mattel Accountant Lightning McQueen … because if I’m reading the listing correctly, we may all have Tourette’s soon …
You know how I guessed the Clown CARS set might be $50.
Well, I was right about one thing … yep, unless I’m misreading this listing, it seems to be listed at $50.
That’s quite a markup for Ranburg and Glow in the Dark tampos … from $4.99 at Target for these regular ones at retail.
Well, you do get a cardboard box that has a try-me light up element.
You still want a master carton of these, right? Anyone? Crickets?
Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.”
So, has anyone seen backdoor Neon Racers that seem to be plused versions of the Target ones? Do you have backdoor Neon Racers that actually glow in the dark? Send us some pics if you do.

Put the finishing touches on a webpage for the Buyer’s List…
I will not need to send you individual invoices.
Some people tested the page last night, it went well for the most part
Please watch your emails. If you did NOT get the email – let me know.
Anyone wanting to pay by check/money order needs to contact me immediately.

Any special difference between the 2014 CDC Neons and the Target ones? Just the price and the box? Thanks !
(MET: The Target Neon Racers do not actually glow in the dark – they look like they do but they do not).
An email went out to the Buyers List just a few minutes ago to reconfirm / finalize your order of your “Payment options” – “Quantity” – “Quality”.

To be crystal clear: this is where you can OPT OUT. Once out, there is no returning to the Buyers List.
It seems hotmail / outlook has an outage. Be patient with replies back getting your orders on the spreadsheet confirmed.
Emails went out just a few minutes ago from CCI for hotel packages. If you want a copy of this to try and get your own CCi hotel/tickets, you can email me for a forwarded copy. You must have an user ID from CCI to buy tickets though.

Wow, incredibly disappointing. It’s like they have no idea what collectors want. Ugh. And seriously, $25 per Car?
Passssssssssss!
Disappointing, yes…
Relieve, yes (too). We need the $$$ for baby! 🙂
(MET: Congrats!)
😉
congrats!!
So what exactly is going on with the Neon Racers? First they are discontinued from Targets… some stores didn’t even get them in [like mine]. Now they are SDCC exclusive, at least this set. Haven’t we heard anything official on this series?
Sigh…
Maybe they will have actually lights on the cars themselves…
Highly doubt they will be worth getting but maybe they will sound better when we see them?
Well, I guess it’s good to know I’ll be saving $50 this year.
Maybe the most disappointing news ever. Finish the 11 normal Neon Racers before pulling something like this, Mattel.
Mattel, ever hear of a focus group..?
Pass, Pass, pass & pass!
Met, nail on the head.
My kids didn’t need to hear that!
* Fonzie action figure not included. Motorcycle, ramp, and shark all sold separately.
(MET: I’m laughing … and then, not so much … 🙂 ).
where’s the like button!

back door
(MET: Yep, looks like these are it – thanks!)
I cannot see them, need to upload something to view them?
I see them…and it looks great!
I just sent out an email for this SDCC Cars Buyers list to be sure YOUR email works, and the group works on my end.
Since the item seems to have changed: You can remain on this list if you wish AND OR the other Standard SDCC 2014 list if you are interested in other items from SDCC.
You need to RECONFIRM what you wanted for piece count and or You also may OPT OUT if you wish.
Once you OPT out, there is no returning to the list.
I am not sure why I can not get an email to stay in your inbox but here is mine: cateyez(under score)15 AT yahoo DOT com
thanks
(concerning the email list for SDCC purchases)
Since I like things that glow in the dark this set would still be a keeper for me.
sent you an email
Thanks Met. I sent out an email post for my SDCC Buyers List.
