Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Gaspirin, View Zeen & Vitoline Haulers – Brilliant!
In a surprise, three more haulers showed up on the back of Oliver Lightload and Ben Crankleshaft – as “coming soon – collect them all.”
Hopefully, they are coming soon and yes, we will collect them all!
That is one giant pill.
Of course, View Zeen is one of the few racers to get the View Zeen Corrective Lenticular Windshield … 🙂
And a great looking Vitoline hauler.
So, hopefully the big wheels keeps on a rollin.’

So, any word on these? I know 2011 is super unlikely with Cars 2 full blast, but, maybe 2012 or 2013. It would be sad if they don’t make them since Mattel already tesed us. What about that Kmart/ Traget/ Matty mega line that never materialized? And the other RVs,s FL, pit crew, clown cars?
Does anyone know if they plan on coming out with a truck hauler for the Gask-its car?
(MET: Nothing scheduled as of now).
Ladies & Gentlecars,
I used to mix the mouth/bumper expressions & eye art around ( I think we had 3 different mouths ) when I was still on the line back in the day.
I tried to tell Marketing to do them all, not sure if they listened. Whatever,not my concern anymore 🙂
We miss you, man!!!! Thanks for checking in on us. We know you have friends over there still working, tell them to keep the Racer Pitty/Cheif sets and Haulers coming!! 😀
Cant wait for these to appear
Still surprised they never tried to take advantage of us with things like:
Yawning Mack
Sleeping Mack
Mack w/Back Door Open
Lenticular Mack
Pit Crew Mack w/Gas Can (this one I thought was really coming)
Did you all notice that they haulers are are up $15 at Target now that the sale is over?!? The even more unbelievable part is that they still have the same Gil and SWS haulers sitting on the shelves. I guess I will just keep trolling Big Lots for the next mystery score…
Yes! Gotta love the Big Lots mystery scores. My most recent surprise was a Storytellers Smell Swell McQueen. Thank you, oh weird and slightly decrepit store.
Eh, these are fine I guess, but they’re no Gil.
I wish they were like SHELF-WARMER GIL!!! It would be super easy for everyone to get them in their hands NOW!! 😆
Give it three months. They’ll be keeping those shelves plenty warm….
In 3 months, there will be a lot more competition for every inch of shelf space with Cars 2 merchandise available. Better hope the haulers keep selling or Target will bump them for something more profitable.
It would take some sort of miracle for them to be profitable enough to steal valuable shelf space from Cars 2 stuff.
At my Target, they went down from 15 Gils, 9 Trunk Fresh, 7 Nitroade, 6 Macks, 5 Sidewalls and 2 Leak Less before the sale in January to only 2 Gils on Sunday. (Yes, I had the nerve to count.) When they said they had a case in the back, they refused to bring it out. I was gone on vacation the next week, and when I returned, they said “None in back”. I assume I missed A Vinyl Toupee/Shiny Wax case. At mine, they appear to be profitable. Let’s hope they get the new cases. Why so many Macks?
Surely you mean Shifty Drug instead of Shiny Wax?
What happened to shiny wax???
These are fantastic! I wonder if these 3 are actually shown in the movie. Have all the racing haulers actually included in the movie been produced in diecast? Apple,Tank Coat, and Dale Inc haven’t; what are the others?
SWEET!! Mason will be SOOOOOOO EXCITED!
Too bad I do not collect haulers 🙁 These ones are awesome!!
Yay! Let’s see their package backs now. Love the mighty looks on them and Gasprin’s dual colors. Would love to see more of them like that. And, glad they corrected Vitoline’s grille, he figured it was time to shave. Word when they’ll be here. And, if they can’t be in the same case, they should use Chet, Ben, Oliver, and Shiny Wax as fillers.
Maybe these will be on the shelves at Kmart for Cars Day in June. 🙂 I can’t afford to pay $22.50 each plus shipping buying them online.
I would like to see the chrome tanker that Mack makes faces in! (Yeah, I know, never satisfied. 🙂 )
Absolutely…The chrome tanker would be the “Apple Car” of Haulers.
Yes!!!!
I’ll also play the role of ‘negative nancy’ here.
I agree with another poster that just because something says ‘coming soon’ toy-wise, doesn’t mean we’ll get it.
It has happened in other toylines in the past, where product was said to be coming, but then the line was cancelled or slowed demand caused the company to not manufacture certain items.
I love it! I live in Brazil, I wonder who could direct me to where I can buy boxes of launching cars. I have great difficulty in getting releases like these trucks. I appreciate the contact. Jenyelle
jenyelle,

traver
TRAVER AT CHILDRENS TOY CLOSET IS THE WAY TO GO!!! FAST AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE CAN WE PRE ORDER THESE CASES?
Traver is definitely the way to go, J.!
What are the chances we’ll get all 3 in the same case and 2 of each ❓
Slim to none. This would make sense.
Why does Mattel do these piecemeal releases? At least bring out haulers we already have crew teams for so we can have a few complete teams. Sparemint, Shiny Wax crew teams were released in May 2009, and here in 2011 we still don’t have matching haulers.
Vinyl Toupee and Shifty Drug haulers were released almost a year ago in April. Where are the crew chiefs and pittys?
Easy Idle’s pitty is getting lonely with out his crew chief and hauler. at least Vitoline will have one pitty and a hauler.
Mattel bring back the 3 pack crew chief, pitty and racer sets. keep the price within reason. Or better yet, make a crew chief and 2 pitty set collector set, since most collectors have the racers.
I am lovin’ their expression in their eyes… But what give with the same grin they all have?!?!
Always a critic I guess… But I did say I love them all right?!?!? Eh?!?!?
Nice photos… as others have said, “bring these on”… I’d like to complete the Cars 1 racers team sets – haulers, crew chiefs, pittys, Pit Row Race-off launchers… and I know I’m not the only one.
Once I get my Ben Crankleshaft and Oliver Lightload, I’ll have to be content to look at the back of the boxes for a little bit until these are released.
These are great! Bring on the haulers! $ for Mattel and happiness for us collectors! At least they are getting this line right.
Met, only ONE “i” in Gasprin! 😉
Agreed, these facial expressions are a nice change!
YAY!! Now to find em……..
AMAZING!!!! These are going to be soooooo great to see. I wonder if Target is going to start getting these newer Haulers. Most of the Target near me now have a couple or NONE of the older haulers after their $7.99 sell out!! Bring them on!! 🙂
WANT !!!
BTW Loving the eye expressions on these
So cool. Let me be the first to say its great to see more Piston cup racer haulers.
Ahh, the hidden “first” comment. I like it! 😆
