Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Miles & Leroy Traffik with Snow Tires – Best There Ever Was
We might be headed fast towards CARS 2 but CARS 2 will have some high standards to match with the design, execution and production quality of CARS …
Miles (Meat Truck Malone) is now just Miles … it is not just a great red but it’s smooth and feels like a real custom paint job – it’s bright and classy – these photos don’t do the diecast justice.
I think FN stands for FIND NOW.
And also new in the box, Leroy Traffik with Snow Tires …
Up top!
Though if you have 2-year old kids, they will chew off the giant rubber mirrors faster than you can say, “My Leroy is a variant without mirrors.”
And comparison to original Leroy …
If you’re buying the case or case spotting at your retailer, if also comes with non-lenticular Richard Clayton Kensington Marco Axelbender and Elvis RV (re-release).
No doubt about it – they are definitely DEE-LUXE!

I found Miles and Marco but no Leroy at my WalMart (first new ones in awhile that they’ve had…Poulsbo, WA). I also found a Patokaa (cop car from Tokyo Mater) and Lug and Nutty with oil cans.
Funny, Leroy Traffic looks like an omelet sushi !
If anyone needs Miles,Leroy or Leroy let me know. 10.00 each

“Hi, I’m Miles. This is my brother Leroy, and my other brother Leroy.”
(sorry Rob, I couldn’t resist!)
LOL , give the sick guy a break. I think I meant Marco, Miles and Leroy
Anyone find any around Flint, MI??? Please lemme know 🙂
I think Snow Tire Leroy has a different license plate than the regular one from the pic. I hope I can find these soon. If only the Traffik Jam of cars could clear out.

im going to walmart tommorow, please be there,please be there.
Those are definitely not snow tires. More like worn down sand paddles.
(MET: Haha, he said sand paddles).
only found leroy 2 of them and 4 elvis on the pegs. Still hoping for marco and miles.
This was the first time I’ve ever seen elvis in our walmart.
I have to say I was a little disappointed in the new Leroy. Definitely cheaper, lighter, and more plastic-y than the original. Less diecast-y and more toylike. I’ve run out of non-words to describe it, but you get my drift…
I have to wholeheartedly agree with you on this one Chris. All your recent posts about the extra plastic and less metal content in the lately quasi diecast cars are right on.
Mattel is getting really cheap with the metal. By mixing lighter elements using nano technology Chinese factories can make them look great on the outside but cheaply made all around.
Miles is so light. I think the whole cab is plastic. Miles should be more like some of the Disney store Vehicles. Now there is a whole lot of metal.
The more plastic they use and the lighter the cars get is a bad thing in my eyes too. Soon the cars won’t be much different than the plastic cars in the plateaus if this keeps up.
Thanks Jack, I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record but this is really weighing heavily (ha!) on my mind. I really want to want to keep the addiction alive, but every time I open a new car I get more and more discouraged. I’m starting to lose the fever a little bit, and that just plain stinks. My son is so stoked on Cars 2 already, so I’ll keep buying them to open for him, but it’s getting harder to see them as the form of art they’ve always been. Sad.
the question is: why would a car need a mattress ?
(MET: You just not reading this website everyday are you? All of life’s mysteries are discussed and answered.

In case he flip over… It is maybe the first top air bag prototype! 😉
Ah i see, missed this post reference 😉
Wondering how he put it back on the top…
Found this case twice at the same Walmart, twice in 7 days.
Mattel did good on these. The rubber mirrors on Leroy are fun.
Marco Axlebender is nice too.
Any news on the next USA case, hopefully with Chuck Cables?
Great case contents… still haven’t seen them in a store, but in time have no doubts that I will… they are sharp!
It’s Marco Axlebender instead of RCK, but great post, anyway! Miles is awesome.
