Thanks “Mark T.” for the great photos. Jimmy Lugwrench, a cool looking old retro Thomasville racer … Fun paint scheme. Great details. He even gets a plate!

Thanks, “Carl P.” forgoing through the Mater saves Christmas book and highlighting the diecasts we;re still missing (presuming we get the Reindeer CARS this year). Red Nose & Snow Day Lizzie. Elves! And a Cord? Is that Mrs Claus? Santa’s PR guy?

“Carl P.” found BOTH in one shopping trip … That’s pretty spooky … Is this the beginning of Final Destination 14? Or if you see Carl P this halloween dressed in black with a scythe, RUN! … Unless he has full size candy bars, then it’s all okay. 🙂

Finally a productive use for the treadmill, the “Treadmill Guy” holds races and from what I can see, ARS seem really good at wiping out a bunch of other diecasts 🙂 Jeff Gorvette takes out almost the entire field!  🙂   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Treadmill Guy (@treadmillguy) You […]

Lightning McQueen 2021 (with Rose Gold Piston Cup) … yes, his official nameplate is CARS 1 Lightning Mcqueen but you get the new 2021 Piston Cup. It reads Piston Cup Champion. Compared to old Piston Cup. For those who wonder what I look like as a LEGO mini-figure.

Thanks, “Secret Santa” for the heads up – spotted this on the UK website, SmythToys  (pronounced Smite-th?) or Smith?) It’s real … though of course, until we hold it in our hands it’s not 100% real but it’s looking like a winter wonderland! The last holiday CARS were not an exclusive but in the mainline […]

A fun new book with the history of toy ads … Toys. 100 Years of All-American Toy Ad. They practically predicted the astronauts gear … Er, no comment …

Thanks “Oliver S.” for the heads up and photo. From Germany but presumably all over Europe, a new MINI racers case. They do not match the US releases which tend to have 6 or more new to singles … Siddley the Jet from CARS 2! Anf CARS 3 Mood Springs. PLus Stars & Stripes Sarge?

The band is complete with the release of Pam Wheeldarrow, the drummer … Great details. Sweet Tea & the Legends … The drum kit, no lazy molding but detailed from every angle! With Robert JamJones, I have to dig through and find Sweet Tea, the lead singer who came out a few years ago (but […]
