Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: The 1:24 Lightning McQueen-Disappear Here
It’s still hard to tell what exactly is going on with the 1:24 scale lightning McQueen and the entire 1:24 scale lineup but it does appear they have left the Area 51 Hanger … next destination?
I guess it makes logical sense as it has the Matty At Rest logo …
Indicating, “You Can Keep a Knocking, But You Can’t Come In …”
Red cardboard box top & plastic base.
The hubs are nice – not screws – so can unlock them and lock them back on …
Non-rubber rubber tires but they don’t feel as close to old days of real soft rubber as the Kmart CARS Day CARS with their more pliable rubber-like feel.
Quality and detailing is nice.
1 Winner, 42 losers …
Or for CARS 2, 1 winner, 67,845 losers (and each one in diecast form 🙂 ).
So, as they are available under the ‘Matty At Rest’ banner, when will it be out?
When Matty is done napping again?
How much will they cost?
What about Mater, Doc, Sheriff & Ramone in 1:24?
Shhhh – Matty is resting. Shhhhh.
So, take some more Gaspirin (now coated with 20W-40 AND SpareOMint Flavored WD-4o!) and chill.
The “store-bought” retail & online retailer version is out and available for ordering. See the post here with photos. As you can see, the CARS are exactly the same – packaging is different and tires look like the 1:55 version in the “retail” version but in this case, you’re really not gaining much other than the grooves (as the tires feel the same) AND if you’re keeping it on the base, unless you put a tiny flood lamp near each one, you can’t even tell they are grooved … unless you are the type of person that enjoys reaching under diecast carriages to get a road feel of the tires … but please do that in the privacy of your own home.

Can someone send me some heart medication? Stop the insanity!
Yeah, nice! Did you see he also has the 2006 factory set? He only wants $5000 for it. Seems like a good deal………… …….. ………………….
Do you wanna go in for half and I’ll place a bid?
Heck yeah, but I get the McQueen! YOu can have that weird colored Mater for yourself 😉
There’s an Australian movie called the “Castle”
It has a classic line said a number of times:
The son reads out an item from the trading post of the newspaper,
Son- “dad see there’s a 1 24th Lighting McQueen for sale”
Father – “How much son?”
Son – “$USD345”
Father “Tell him he is dreaming”
Therein endth the movie quote (adapted). But really. Fair dinkum has this bloke got his hand on it or what? talk about having a lend
On an unrelated note. My wife saw Mater the Greater last night (we just discovered that Playhouse Disney in Australia is now showing). I pointed out the various ‘Cars’ coming out, she just walked out of the room shaking her head saying when will the maddness end.
Just don’t forget to tell your wife about the TakeFiveADay CARS convention at Disneyland after CARSLAND opens!
Tell your wife to stop feeding my wife lines…that was her response too…oh yeah, and the old classic. ‘when will you grow up?”
Sigh! I know this all too well.
I think I’d get less flak if I were having an affair.
….and that’s why I am now single!!!! He just couldn’t handle my obsession any longer…. hahaha just kidding! But it is WAY easier to collect my CARS now, and PD, tell your wife that you are Peter Pan, he will NEVER grow up!!!!!
Pirate Dad’s Peter Pan will Never grow up? Sounds like a visit Doc is in order. – 😆
…. maybe he needs some Pixie Dust…. I heard that lifts things up!
Only if he thinks Happy Thoughts! 😛
any happy little thought???? 😆
Rumor has it that PD’s Peter Pan, in true Pirate style, only has one eye, too. 😀
There is NOTHING wrong with my little Peter Pan, unless you count having a hook as a problem???
*yawn* Too expensive to interest me.
Ok, so now I am little confused. I definitely want all the 1:24 line… but you say the other version is avaible for order. Do you mean only for retailers? or for consumers too?? I know there is a much older version.. but not sure where I would find one of those.. Thanks MET!
(MET: There is a “retail” version which is out and is either in stock or can be ordered by a reseller – it’s the McQueen with the box window (see link in post). Other than the box is different, everything else is the same except the Matty one has ‘rubber tires’ (though not very rubberish) and as noted, can’t find on Matty – supposedly up for sale in March … so you can buy the ‘retail’ one today – the Matty one? ).
Amber,

Ah ha! So that is what happens when I take too many vacations.. I miss all the good stuff 🙂 So now I am one of those newbies asking the questions that have been gone over already – happens to the best of us. The best part about it, is that people on here are always willing to help, without the condescending “I can’t believe you don’t know that” tone 🙂 Thanks all! Again, I Love you guys :kiss:
I’m still undecided on these, but I guess I’ve got time, huh?
AWESOME!! I WANT IT!!!!!!!
Does anyone know if this is the Model# for the non-Matty version? P5034
I found this and was wondering what was going on?
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3714049
WOW, who wants a 1:55 mcqueen for $25!?!? OUCH! LOL
(MET: Humm, 9 times $25 … I’M RICH!).
Just spoke to customer service and they had no idea about anything because they are all idiots.
(MET: But you mean that in the nicest way possible 🙂 ).
They would be relatives of Mattel International Distribution (this is why families living on islands should learn how to swim)
they need a little chlorine in the gene pool…
On this site there just might could be someone crazy enough to order it and find out…anyone, anyone?
Wow, that IS intriguing…..
If I had the $25, i’d buy it to find out, then return it to my local toysrus if it wasn’t what i wanted.
just noticed on the website, its listed under remote control vehicles, so that is probably what it is, the price sounds about right for an RC McQueen.
GotFrank,
P5034 is not the code for the retail version.
Righton, thanks.
What happens in Radiator Springs, stays in Radiator Springs?!?!
nice . . .
