Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Emmanuel the Paris Tour Bus has arrived … Sculpt-wise, he looks great but it’s the age old toy vehicle battle – scale or diecast metal … it’s hard to have both unless of course, you can list it at $20 to $100 … Next to the closer scale […]

Thanks for the nice pics, “John H.” While we have had several Range Rover releases, Mike Lorengine is a little undersized … I think Josh Coolant is scaled to fit in the Mattel series of CARS characters. Josh Coolant definitely seems undersized for the 1:43 Disney store series (where this one came from). Josh Coolant […]

My Target has not gotten these in yet but “Quercy’s” store has them … Without giving away the entire story, there are some surprise racer appearances … Interesting, does this mean there will be a Neon Frosty exclusive in Australia this Autumn again? Nothing listed as of yet but why not? It’s an easy repaint/deco […]

Thanks for the great pics, “King Andy.” Father Burke has arrived with his two Cardinal Pitty’s (Angelo & Antonio). Technically a Father is called a Padre in certain parts of the world (along with the military calling a chaplain a padre …) so Father Burke is a Padre but in CARS terms, is Father Burke […]

Looks like Father Burke & Cardinal Pitty’s have hit the Car-Vatican … Okay, I’m guessing there are not many toy stores in the Vatican … but elsewhere in Europe … well, Belgium to be specific – thanks for the great photos, “King Andy.” Er, what theme do these fall under? Orange Afro Wearing Slugs?  🙂 […]

It looks like the Neon Racer series has landed in Target Stores (well, at least the box sets) (this is the international card) Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.” These look nice – though they are not really canon – they are also not really “neon” in the sense they light up or glow […]

It looks like maybe the Pixarians wonder what happened to the Pixar in Disney • Pixar CARS? The first singles cases shipped with the designation DISNEY CARS … But as “Quercy” notes, it looks like they have gone back with the new case? At least in Europe? Or also “fixed,” in the US? Interesting. If […]

If for some reason, you need a BTTF Date Generator graphic creator, here you go … BTW, we are about 1 year and 7 months away from the real far-into the future date that Marty McFly traveled to (10.21.2015) so next year, hoverboards and flying DeLoreans! Right? Right?
