Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Mini Racers 3-Packs Race In
New 3-packs are hitting the pegs …
New releases include Saludos Amigos Ramone (covered HERE in detail). Officer Lightning McQueen, Lightning McQueen (CARS 1) and Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen.
Looks like Officer Lightning McQueen is the first Toon release?
… Since the XRS have no Toon or book backstory … they are just Expanded Universe releases.
I’m pretty sure this is the first Lightning McQueen (CARS 1) and Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen (I do not really count the massive 10-20 packs with a few exclusives).
Hey Met, completely off-topic, but I recently found a 2008 TRU N20 Cola Promotional Diecast, and was wondering how many of these were made? Thanks!
(MET: Numbers unknown but they were the basic releases with two drill holes, other than that, not much to set them apart (from other diecasts).
Lighting McQueen was release No. 1 in the original “blind” bags.

But isn’t that LMQ the paint job from the Cars 2 era? It has the darker reddish flames around the yellow lightning bolt.
