Tomy Japan is offering a free DVD with purchase of @2000¥ of Tomy CARS products. (@$17 at today’s exchange rate). It comes with two shorts: “Radiator Springs 500 1/2” and “Time Travel Mater,” along with some Tomy CARS advertising.

“MackDaddy” figured out the hack to let you attach more passenger trains to Muir … Apparently if you review the screw, you can pull out the coupler. Of course, you can only buy the cab with Muir … AND “MackDaddy” also discovered if you really want a ramp, you can hack the backdrop to use […]

Legoizer lets you upload a pic to create a custom LEGO mural (along with an instruction sheet on what bricks you need).

The Circus Car Van is out, the Circus Sedan is coming and after that, the Circus Cab? Thanks for the great pics, “John H.”   I’m guessing he’s a Deluxe Super Chase? Nothing too fancy but still a nice addition. Compared to Gray Semi – just re-released. Gray has the plastic face on a diecast […]

Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Christina Wheeland arrives.* * Well, in the 11-stores in the country getting stock in. Kind of an oddball sculpt but it looks new. Nice details. The 2015 Race Fan lineup is all here (the rest are all re-releases). Thanks for the great pics, “John H.”  

If you’re collecting the Tomy Takara expanded universe Go Go Rescue CARS, they’re added two more.

Thanks “Dan K!” for the heads up and photo – we’ll start with an ultra cute one. Nice paint scheme on a Scion FR-S. A new Artist Series Lightning McQueen looks pretty cool.       There’s an 1:18 scale version and a 1:43 scale version.   And of course, you need a cool paint […]
