Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: The Final Color Changers Check List
Since it looks like Walmart might be getting ready to close the books on the Color Changers singles and TRU seems to have dropped the two-pack from the online shop … for those interested, here should be the final and complete checklist for the Color Changers series.
I think RED was on the list once but I do not believe RED was ever released, let me know if I’m wrong.

LOL. TRU USA drops these, but TRU Canada picks them up.
Just saw the Color Changers 3-packs for the first time at TRU in Canada this past weekend.
Seems they will buy any non-metal Cars. First plastic, then wood, and even plaster (paintable) Cars!
more for kids, but better than the mini’s.
Well, you can tell the adult collectors from the ones that do it for their kids. Haha
My sons both LOVE these cars. Of course they are still young and enjoy bath time even more than Jack does. 🙂
We even had to supplement with some Hot Wheels color changers in the lulls between cases. Granted, these Cars probably wouldn’t hold up well in a collection over time. You can see some of the ones at the store turning to their warm color and staying there… Aside from being a bit pricey, they really are great fun and get used pretty consistently. I too was a hater before they actually came out.
Well, besides a few I bought from the board, Color Changers have just arrived, I guess 10 different. I love them all.
I can see there is a sale on stores. Can anyone help me to grab some of them ?
Hey MET, just as a reminder… The collector guide for TOONs… you said maybe march…. we are in March 🙂
(MET: I thought we were done but now … have to wait another month or so 🙂 ).
These are truly the “Champion” of all peg warmers.
Yeah these do not appear to be doing that well everywhere I go I see the pegs full of them. Not for me, but my son has shown some interest in them.
I still can’t believe anyone actually collects these.
Remember these are for KIDS to play with..! My son loves them!!
Maybe these should be called bath warmers….. My son can stay in the bath for hours playing with these little treasures. Maybe not for the adult collector but lots of fun 🙂
anyone found Sally and Axel already??
all but sally…but I passed…now I can’t find them 🙁
I can get them if they r still at the store
I don’t see Sally or Axel at a store or on ebay.
I know everyone else it glad they are finished, but I am disappointed 🙁 I really liked these because I can take my cars to the beach and in the hot tub without worrying about them rusting! At least they made Sally before they stopped.
*Sigh* farewell Color Changers 😥
Speaking of “THE END” …. I just got home from Walmart, where the Toon Singles pegs have been empty for about two weeks. I asked the toy associate to scan the peg to see if any were on order or on the way ….
she said there were none on order …
none in transit …
and none in the warehouse …
they were in the system as NON-REPLENISHABLE ….
meaning not orderable ….
she then said, “DISCONTINUED” ….
GASP …. SERIOUSLY??
This store just got a fresh case two weeks back and they sold out in two days …. could this be TRUE????????? 🙁
Yes seriously..I was told the same thing, after I missed the case of Music Mater 🙁
wow, Target discontinued megas, Walmart did not replenish, Tru raised prices
WELCOME TO Collector’s HELL!!!
This is all part of the evil Mattel plan by finishing line ONE this way (even if TOON is not really part of CARS 1) with a lot fewer cases with new CARS then automatically creating the ones called “collectibles”. Is it not what they are doing in the HotWheels world and other collectible products? Bessie is a good example of this practice. Apple Car may be an exception with a special agreement with the company, but the rest is probably all planned Mattel marketing… This is may be not exactly like I just said but close enough. Anyone have a better explanation?
I doubt it is the end…surely there will be Cars 2 Color Changers.
They are not doing color changers anymore? Thank you! They found a perfect time to end them, before the Cars 2 stuff comes out!
Can’t say I will miss them either. The only thing that worries me it’s that they make the new “diecast” cars with almost the same amount of plastic as these.
Hopefully Mattel will cut down on the gimmicks and repacks for awhile and just give us new cars.
Thank god they’re over. Good riddance!
