Disney Pixar CARS 3: Jada 1:24 Scale Visual Checklist Update
Thanks “Paul R.” for the corrections and update.
It turns out while Cruisin’ Lightning McQueen & Dinoco Cruz Ramirez were shown in a “with tire rack version,” JADA has decided to release only a version without a tire rack for those two so the checklist has been updated.
“Paul R.” also notes that originally retail stores/the big three (WM, Target & TRU) had exclusive rights to the “with tires/rack” versions and the remaining stores could order the versions without tires – but of course, the big retailers mostly wanted to order the versions without tires/rack so now both versions are available to everyone.
ALL the 1:24 CARS you see below shown with tires/rack are also available without tires/rack. Mack, Cruisin’ and Dinoco Cruz are ONLY available without tires/rack. Fillmore comes with Oil cans and not tires/rack.
The two exclusives (D23 Expo Cruz, Rust-Eze Racing Center Lightning) are also only available without a rack/extra tires.
And YES, you can actually swap out the tires & rims (mini tool included) so they are not just for show.
They are solidly diecast with great sculpts.
You can check out larger photos Cruz, Jackson Storm, Rust-Eze Racing Lightning & Lightning McQueen.
There are three more releases scheduled to be released soon – maybe as early as this month: Fabulous Lightning McQueen (with tires/rack), CARS 3 Mack with Trailer & Mack CARS 3 cab only which appears to be out now.
You can find some on Amazon.
If you use the Mattel 1:55 model of ‘Mack’ as a measurement guide, the new Jada ‘Mack’ does scale out to about 1:24 (by using the wheelbase). But using the older Mattel “1:24” ‘Lightning’ wheelbase for scale, the new Jada ‘Lightning’ scales out as 1:20. On my ‘Cruising’ Mcqueen, I printed out and applied the three bumper stickers he should have.
