At first, this looked like a fantastic set too good to be true … sadly I think it’s too good to be true … all the evidence points to this NOT as diecast metal. If you look closely, Dusty just has too many seams, clearly no real reason to create a new diecast body just […]

Monsters Inc. backpacks, purses and bags – very cool … From LeSportSac.

Something new, an all-plastic 1:55 release (not diecast metal) in a box called Race to the Rescue Play Pack. Looks cute. The log actually seems like the best thing – it splits open and the flames protrude. The plastic Maru hooks up the wagon but neither of the diecast releases of Maru work with this […]

The “Propwash Junction Airport” playset has been repacked with Pitty’s, more runway and tents … and now called the Deluxe Pit Row Playset. So you lose plastic Leadbottom but you gain three more plastic Pitty’s and you still get plastic Dusty & Skipper. I thought the photo of Leadbottom meant you got him in the […]

Walmart has an exclusive on Toon re-releases … Komodo looks like unibody variant. Komodo’s mouth used to be a plastic plate, now just a unibody diecast. Kabuto Ninja has not made it out yet but it looks like it’s been upgraded to a unibody also … but the evidence is ONLY based on this official […]

Yellow Bird, the diecast has made its US apparance as an official release. There are a few Canadian releases that have not gotten a US release yet. Thanks for the great pics and heads up, “Rob (My 7 Kids).”

Rescue Smoke Jumper Die-Cast Set #1 Rescue Smoke Jumper Die-Cast Set #2 Compared to Disney Store Tractors. […]

This guy Pepa Quin was not satisfied in just having the Simpsons house in LEGO form … he built the entire town of Springfield … See all the photos in his FLIKR feed. Pretty freakin’ amazing.

It’s unclear when the first case for 21015, the Q case, will be out … November 2014? … as the norm when the typical motif changes to the next one or will it be after Christmas? It looks like the general “themes” concept won’t change as the product codes for singles for 2015 does not […]

“John H.” gives us a heads up that Ryker is available at Amazon. It’s hard to tell how large Mattel’s is – here’s what Disney’s version looks like which seems to a good size. More pics here. It does have a moving arm. At Amazon, it’s not cheap at $11.99 but it does come with […]
