Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Pixar Fest Diecasts by the Numbers
People have asked how many Pixar Fest Diecasts were produced.
Here’s my guess …I presume the most any of the 300 Target store will get is 3 cases but there stores that get none. Smaller urban stores? ?? So, I would pursue it’s “not rare” but we won’t get a 2nd shipment (presumably) … basically, if one case per store means 7,200 diecasts, I would guess an average of 2 cases is more likely 0r @15,000 in total if you include the European shipment … that seems reasonably for repaints of diecasts readily available, just a new paint scheme + a new card …
Missed it slightly … read the wrong number on the Target press release, thanks for the update … Target does divide it stores by brackets but that is an internal secret so we can’t really say for toys if a store is an A, B, or C store … so some stores will get multiple cases while others will not get any and it’s not by size as a giant new store by me is almost always empty of almost everything (not just CARS) while the older Target (always packed and smaller 8 miles is full of stock) so I would say a an average of case per store is around 45,600 plus the EU shipment so 50k seems like a nice round number … but as noted, if stores are getting multiple shipments, that’s great, they are fun diecasts.

I haven’t seen any new 2nd releases of these cars since the first round at the CA bay area target stores in my area.
Were these truely intended as Disneyland Pixar event only releases?
There are about 1900 Target stores in the USA
(MET:Oops, guess I should have read the Target press release closer … adjusted my numbers and thinking, thanks).
true.. i read it so fast I did not read the 300 total…. which is way off. 1900 is closer.
My local Target hasn’t gotten ANY that I know of. But I don’t go there that often, though. So don’t take my word for it! 🙂
The two targets I go to got two shipments about a month/3 weeks apart.
my target store has already gotten 4 cases that i know of
