Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 3: Todd Deliver to … Walgreen’s? (INFO UPDATE)
Yep, here’s a first – Todd (the Pizza Planet Truck) is an exclusive at Walgreen’s,
A clean TODD.
He looks weird all clean like one of those actors/actress with a lot of face lifts and botox … they look … off.
Compared to his last release.
That’s what a 40 year old TOYO truck should look like …
Apparently some Walgreen’s will actually get a dump … most Walgreen’s around me is about the size of this bin so probably limited to newer stores?
Thanks for the great pics, “Steve N,” “Carl P.,” and “Samuel K.” Thanks!
BTW, Todd is scheduled to come out with a Collector Booklet, presumably a clean Todd but unknown?
UPDATE – CARL P. spoke to a manager who claims they are waiting for approval to display which means there’s a disconnect somewhere – the only embargo was May 1 and while technically the other embargo might be June 16 when the film comes out but stores do not put up an empty dump bin for a month waiting for product … so it’s almost certainly someone forgot to update stores. Good luck convincing your store to put out product!

I was lucky enough to find a Todd in Franklin, TN! I didn’t look through everything thoroughly, just peeked behind a couple basic racers and there he was.
As today the big display still says… COMING SOON AT WALGREEN’S…. well, the movie too ! :-)))
My Sunday’s newspaper has the Walgreen’s ad for the week inserted. Walgree’s is advertising buy one at full price and get the second half off. When I bought my Todd all the Walgreen stores with the displays was charging $4.99. The picture in the advertisement shows the basic cars/casting. Maybe the stores will replenish the displays or haul them out of the back room if they have not done so yet. Happy hunting! Hmm, pizza! Going to down Roundtable right now ! 🙂
one of my walgreens in Topeka has the display but just cars 3 like youd see anywhere, no Todd
I found a full bin at my Walgreens in SoCal. Only one Todd to be found.
I’ve seen nothing that would suggest Rite-Aid has a Walgreen’s exclusive. The merger of Walgreen’s and Rite Aid has not happened yet.
Walgreens in San Diego have at most one peg with 2~3 cars, not even Cars3… Where do I need to live to find those giant bins @ Walgreens?
I stopped in four Walgreen’s on my way to an appointment. Three had the stand alone display. One store did not. The cashier told me not every store is going to get the display. Only the larger stores. The one store which did not have the display is the smallest of the four, and, it did not have any Cars at all, new or old.
Todd is shown on the Mattel poster as a Walgreen’s exclusive, so is Todd going to be clean or dirty for the collector booklet? I suppose if Todd gets dirty in the movie, then there would be a reason for both. Although, maybe Todd will get dirty in a different way? 🙂
Did you check Rite Aid?
Rite Aid might have this dump bin also? I hit 4 Walgreen’s yesterday, none of them had any Cars

(MET: The description says WALGREEN’s only though Walgreen’s is buying RITE AID so maybe?)
I’ve looked at 16 Walgreen’s stores, most of them have the display set up. Started seeing this display at my store on May 1st. Todd is NOT in every display. It seems these were randomly packed with the Cars 3 diecasts. One store had 5 Sarges for example, and no Todds. Sterling single is also found in some of these Walgreens shippers.
The new ‘Todd’ may be clean and neat looking, but the body casting still has all the dents and dings on it!
