Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Silver Racers a Big Return to Walmart
“MVN” spotted this over the front door security sensors at Walmart – meaning the silver racers are really getting a push at retail – this is a marketing option at Walmart to get a “banner” over the security sensor (in case you did not realize that’s what they were).
It looks like the complete 1st wave and all 10 WGP racers. “SilverFrosty” points out that in the magazine comic backstory, Rip is not invited to the race so no 11th WGP Racer.
And of course, there was a Frosty released in Australia – so technically there are 11 Silver Racers – though the silver Frosty won’t get a US release/re-release.
For completists, the Kmart cards US release Jeff Gorvette was missing the Corvette logo on the front of the hood. So, you might want this one to get the variant. Plus, of course, you’ll need the light up ones.
Raoul was always a segmented release – has his plastic been replaced with a metal piece?
Thanks for the great pics, “MVN!”
“Jacob H” also notes that the Ice Racers are at WM now also. Thanks!

There are two card backs for 2015 silver racers, one of them has the advertisement for the new App Daredevil garage, and one doesn’t. A snipe
on the front, and the back has a large portion dedicated to the app. For you variant card collectors out there.

Not impressed by reissued items with boring color.
One of my local Wal-Marts has a stand alone four sided display square box loaded with Silver Racers and cases with new castings. The pegs in the aisle are loaded also. The other Wal-Marts in the area (4) are bare. Maybe the back stock rooms are loaded?
These do look pretty nice, love that chrome Shu and Jeff the most

The light up ones are Neon series, not Silver series.
