Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Error CARS? Rack ‘Em, Pack ‘Em & Stack ‘Em
They call ’em error CARS because they are factory errors … but hey, it don’t really matter – why stop them errors when they’re just collectin’ fun (or something like that).
Or you can just make up your own names for them like:
“Halloween Ghostlight Fright” Salutin’ Sarge
(from Jason T’s collection)
Or Sarge’s Bootcamp – Sarge was definitely not in charge of the packing …
“Monday Morning Commute Charlie Cargo.”
(NascarBronco Collection) … actually doesn’t look too odd 🙂
And that’s one bumpy ship ride …
“Ambidextrous Trunk Fresh”
Also NascarBronco.
Or John in MO with the new Northwest Airlines tie-in CARS?
“Look Ma, No Eyes Rev ‘N Go”
Not sleeping – just resting my eyes … or zombie CARS?
“Southern Sheriff Shades Trooper Sheriff.”
Of course, errors are nothing new, here’s Sheriff from WAY, WAY back on Desert Art 12 card with an upside license plate …
(from Buckland Blowout’s collection).
But hey, you know it’s stressful loading thousands of cartons – you try to take a simply coffee break to calm your nerves …
I’m telling you – you have no idea – it’s life or death … LITERALLY.
Thanks for your backyard metaphor-analogy stock photos, “PirateDad.”

I just realized that “Halloween Ghostlight Fright” Salutin’ Sarge looks like that because the entire eyes decal was put on upside down.
yup the picture doesn’t quite do it justice, he looks like he had some bad ‘organic fuel’ from Fillmore or is it Filmore, his eyes looked completely crossed. I just grabbed it in a khols and as I was walking to the register I took a look at him and said what is wrong with this dude something aint quite right, and it took a min then I realized the eyes were upside down.
I have bought four chicks hicks chase car with the trophy. Two of them say the king on it.
I did see a Trunk Fresh from KMart Day with a Re-Volting #84 tag.
I have a Dinoco pitty without a mouth, there was a post here some weeks back. It came in a Target box set but I think he looks cool.
I love error cars, in fact if I go to a store and see a rack of peg warmers I’ll see go thou them looking for errors lol
Funny thing is most of the ones I’ve found I didn’t even realise till I got home!
Too true… Too true!
These so called errors and nothing more than sloppy packaging, assembly, etc. As far as I am concerned they are not worth buying. Legitimate variants are OK. Changes in production are OK. Just because some tired bored underpaid underfed production worker in China puts a decal on upside down does not warrant my $$$. I would not pay extra to my Toyota dealer because the windshield was cracked or somebody forgot to put a bumper on.
Love squirrels tho, although the one that got into my shed and destroyed my son’s classic Batman cave by turning it into a nest did make a yummy stew! 🙂
I found a Todd pizza truck without the eyes a few months ago. How often does that happen?
This is very common, so you will need to mail it me ASAP!! 😉
I am kidding, hang on to that one!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was also Leak Less with plastic tires instead of rubber. How many cups of coffee a day are the squirrels drinking? Maybe they should cut back a little.
Unless my Charlie Cargo is wrong too… I don’t see an error… just slight misplacement of headlights… maybe I’m showing my stupid…
headlights are not supposed to be “frowning”
They appear to be upside down and on the wrong side. Left headlight on the right side and right headlight on the left side.
what’s the error in the sarge’s bootcamp??
Upside down front bumper on Frank Pinkerton, the pink SUV. He ended up with a smile instead of a frown.
That was in an earlier post several days ago, not referring to the above photo.
Upside down headlights
My son just asked why there are squirrels. LOL!
That wasnt the only Sarges Boot Camp error. Another set was missing eyes, Someone across the pond bought them.
AWESOME AVATAR!!!
thank you.
Doc Brown in the France forum made it and several other similar ones for me
You guys want to see the rest of the stuff?
I can put them on flickr
error cars are cool but me personally, I can never get enough squirrel photos.
Me too… :D:
Run like the wind little squirrel!
