Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: It’s Gold, Golden Lightning McQueen
Here are some official details.
Limited quantities …in celebration of Cars 15th anniversary!
15 years?I can’t have been around that long. 😆
CARS Week celebrations kicking off next week and Lightning McQueen Day later in the year 9/5/21 at Target & Amazon.
Presumably, it will work like previous mail aways – buy X amount of product and receive the golden car for free. It seems we might have to wait until SEPTEMBER for the mailaway portion but you might start saving your cards and receipts? Though I’m sure if the promotions portion for Golden Lightning McQueen starts next week?
Nothing on the Amazon CARS site but if you spot it or see any signage at Target, send us a pic!
June 9th, 2006: Something incredible happened. Anyone remember?
Cars movie was released!
That is an easy question for fanatic like us 🙂
(MET: What was the original release date?)
According to wikipedia Cars premiered May 26th 2006 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway but in US theaters on June 9th 2006.
Nice! Hopefully, I’ll be able to pick him up later in the year. Does something like this not happening in a long time indicate a CARS Revival??
Met, it seems we will have this operation in France: https://www.lessurprisescars-mattel.fr/
