Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Easter CARS 2010 (UPDATE)
It’s soon February 15th, it can only mean five things:
Time to finish the groundhog stew.
Time to apologize amidst the ‘silent treatment’ from the day before. (Snakes driven from Ireland Day?)
Clearance chocolate at Target.
Target Easter reset begins … Easter CARS!
Well, I guess last year’s Target Easter CARS were too exciting?
I guess that was too much work coming up with the two Piston Cup crew chiefs so it’s back to random CARS?
The 2010 Easter CARS are … Snot Rod, Fillmore, Axel Accelerator & Lightning McQueen …
They do not say they are Target only but it probably seems safe to guess that.
UPDATE: PitStopToyShop says they are not Target exclusives and available for all Mattel authorized dealers so that would-might explain why the CARS are pretty much random.
They do not say they are lenticular but they probably are. (THIS IS STILL UNKNOWN whether they are one or the other)????
All but Axel Accelerator has been released as a lenticular already.
Snot Rod has not been released in the shifting-eyes Lenticular 2 series.
I’m guessing Axel won’t come in a black egg?
Er, Collect them all?
Last year’s DCPI was: 087071795.
Happy hunting.
I found a case of the Easter Eggs at Target a few minutes ago. You can see through the eggs, and these are definitely non-Lenticular — Whoopee!! Nice case assortment (as usual), with 3 Lightning’s, 1 Snot Rod, 1 Axle Accelerator, and 1 Fillmore. I thought it was funny that the color of the eggs do not correspond with the color of the Cars.
Hello. Just got mine this moring. They are in clear colored eggs. Real cool set.
Yeah..I think I’ll pass on these. I’ve saved so much money in the past several weeks due to the lack of new Cars. Guess I’ll have to use my Cars money for something completely silly like paying some bills…or beer. 😉
Nice I say buy the beer before you pay the bills it always eases the pain.
I NEEEEEEDDDD THEM!!!!!!!
hello i have some on my ebay website for sale. my ebay id is dalerace03.
Met… How soon can we expect to see cars2 diecasts in the shops???
i know toys for films hit the shelves before the film hits the screen.
Pass I rather get the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for my PSP.
Pretty lame.
So disappointing!
What?! All of them are old cars?! Thats stupid! Snot Rod, Fillmore, Axle Accelerator and Lightning McQueen thats a pretty stupid assortment! Instead of Snot Rod, Fillmore, Axle Accelerator and Lightning McQueen they should have gone with Milton Calypeer, Jay Limo, Apple car and Kori Turbowiz In non-lenticular!
Is it time to write John L. himself? I bet we would at least get a serious response from the Disney/Pixar offices. I know Mattel is not his company, but John L. must have a meeting with Mattel at some point… especially with CARS 2 coming up.
i’ll be saving money there… thanks mattel
I smell rotten eggs with these….
Boring…
Pass! But hey, I’ve passed on all the eggs so far.
awww man.. come on mattel UGHHH
Damn, why not the crew chiefs that are only available in the b.s. $20 four-packs?
please tell me they’re not killing this line
It’s coming .. faster than we all think.. CARS 2 is at our doors!
SO FAR ..
No more mini
No more regular launcher
No more Movie moments
No more Story Tellers ( DPCI doesn’t work anymore )
No more Regular EYES (except Target Final LAP)
No more Oversized (Bessie seems to be the last one)
They didn’t do the playset; we saw at ComiCon (Sarge /Fillmore)
They made demos / Prototypes but never gave us real proofs that they would make everything we saw at CCon.
The end is near ! .. 40 final laps and that will be it !
All that will remain will be Lenticulars crap and TOONS ..
.. Ok bring me another beer please ! lol
(MET: Well, you’re right about the beer 🙂 ).
Pit Row Launchers are NOT dead. I have some New Ones coming in tomorrow or Friday, but I can’t tell you or I’ll have to kill you… until I actually have them in hand, of course!
Newer than the C case with Fiber Fuel, Mood Springs, Easy Idle, and Nitroade? Newer than the D case with Retread, Shiny Wax, RPM, and No Stall? Could this contain new launchers that were previewed last summer at SDCC? We know you’ll let us know as soon as you know…
Yes, and yes, and maybe… I’d have to go back and look at the photos to be sure about the SDCC part. I know the scheduled assortment but no details until I have them in my hands. I don’t want to get any hopes up.
can’t wait to find new old style launchers.
Please remember that kids read these messages and that comment that you would kill someone I find offensive.
I’m off-ended
‘That playset’, what playset?
Lizzie Wheel Well ( only in Australia)
Sarge Boot Camp (playset metal dome)
So is this the official word that Mattel hates us?
I never even found the crew chiefs last year. Just a mess of Pace Cars and McQueens.
I have a set if you want them… kristidowning@cox.net
More duds from Mattel, seems to be an ongoing theme lately.
Apple Car…Now that would be Eggciting. 😉
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Meh…
I’ve still got unopened Chief Spare O Mint eggs from last year!
Yeah, me too! 8)
Me too…how silly, eh?
me too and I don’t know why
Me too. I’ve got one Spare O Mint and two Shiny Wax unopened. And I’m an opener.
Dag Gum Really Why can’t they honestly put milton calypeer in there!!
It’s actually “dadgum”. 😉

Actually, it’s not an official English word so you can say it however you want. Just a GFY
…and I find the link you provided to be very offensive. You know kids read this board, right?
Grow up.
whats the story with milton,, is he really rare??
Worse than a Chase car!
Yep, about 3.5x worse than the average chase car
3.5xworse mmmmm…but i have 7 chase cars so i should have found two miltons by now…aint that how it works?
What case did he come in? if he was actually released that way.
Race O Rama Case G March 09. One Milton to a case. No he was not a chase package. He was a rare release and never re released so far.
Thanks BMW,
That means he’ll be out soon in the UK, (march09 US March2010 UK).
Maybe Snot Rod’s egg will also be full of confetti.
:)!
Only a random splattering of them (maybe 100 or so). Please don’t get BMW going, we may end up with another spreadsheet for Snot Rot confetti eggs…
Snot Rot ?
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there! 😆
LOL
He He He, already started!
Darn, no new stuff. Oh well, I might pick up a set if someone here needs them.
Hmmmm… exciting? Not so much. No effort at all by Mattel.
