It’s a few weeks old now but here’s the visual recap of CASE E. New to singles for 2020 (Bill was a rubber tire exclusive with accessory at WM). New Thai releases – with at least the eyelid line. Previously available in 2020 – nice to get more. More common re-releases.

As I started to pack away last years CARS, I noticed that the Thai released Metallic Sally was actually a squoosh closer to the real (996) 911. Not an optical illusion – 95’s 3.306 cm wide versus the last China release which is 3.327 cm. Yes, the back is slightly wider at 3.475 v 3.596 […]

The current Flo along with Mini Racer mini Flo. The detailing on the mini Mini Racers are really nice … unlike the last mini series, the plastic Mini Adventure series, these are all metal diecast, cute and excellent. Definitely collect them all.

For those collecting Mattel’s Disney Pixar CARS have a decision to make, replace them with the new Thailand versions? Chick Hicks with Headset first produced in China for CARS 3 (left) has the “unibody” windshield look … The new Thailand releases (as most releases came from factories there in mid 2019) has the more correct […]

The new diecast from GMP comes with a fun Road Runner add-on … it would’ve been cool if Plymouth in 1970 actually included a life size snap on for the real Road Runner, one of the coolest looking muscle cars of the era regardless.

Thanks “Mark T.” for the great action shots of “Jae” the Rust-Eze Center Trainee …

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the nice photos. Wasabi Mater from CARS 2 has returned … Differences from last release? Black engine compartment, eyelid line (previous was already a flat windshield), the wad of wasabi is slightly different and it looks like it is the unibody Mater. So, V2 of Wasabi Mouth Mater. Previous release of […]

Thanks “Bec G” for updating the 2020 CARS Mini Racers checklist. The numbering scheme has been reset for 2020 … happy collecting! The un-numbered releases.

Daniel S. has thoughtfully put together a visual recap of our missing Toons diecasts – you can download the zip here. Thanks “Daniel S!”

The last few days, we’ve been going through Toons that are missing some diecasts – two of the later ones really, really, really need more diecasts,  from UFO MATER … We got 4 diecasts including the great Corporal Kim: Announced but not released, Andy Gearsdale …  🙁 Missing GI Mia & Tia. UFO Pitty’s. And […]
