Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: Mater with Headphones Mystery Solved
“Mike Manifold” uncovered the mystery of the Race Team Mater with headphones – no official listing of him …
Turns out to be a KMart only single …
Also comes with a trading card.
When Mike took it to the register, he was told it was not supposed to be out so these pegs were ‘un-pegged.’ Well, just a few more days and I’ll be right home to you …
So, thanks for the nice pics, “Mike Manifold.” So close …

Attention to those that are getting turned down at Kmart stores with new “Cars” stuff on the pegs:
I have just been contacted by Kmart VP’s and they would like to know store numbers and address’s for these Maters and other items that you are getting turned down at the registers for. Kmart is NOT happy that these are ON the pegs and then not letting people buy them.
Email me back at
nascarnbroncosfans@msn.com
With store #, address of the specific store please.
Thank you.
Sears stores too!
Thanks, Nascarfan! I got your message too. I will email you the info when I get home from work tonight…
Thanks Man I Fold…….
Kmart or Sears stores I would like the appropriate info sent if you were turned down at the registers when these were/are on the pegs.
Email sent.
And forwarded, and you were copied
WOW! Finally a real Pit Crew Mater w/Headset! Is he really $3.99?
He was hanging around on the empty pegs from the last Cars day. So those 3.99 price tags were for the rubber tire racers.
Thanks! So what did he ring up as, $6.97?
Well he rang up with the message that they couldn’t sell them until the release date, then they took them away from me. Waaa. Another memorable moment at 1 of 3 Chicago KMarts with notoriously bad customer service. “I had fun fun fun ’til the clerk took the Mater away-ee-ay-aaaa” A-hem, cough
Whats the cost of these maters? and is it just a single? like no light and sound and no deluxe just a regular single? thats a kmart exclusive?
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it.
I want him! Too bad the Kmart near me is not open anymore. He should have been a Target exclusive instead so that he could be easier for me to find.
Yeah but Target only orders a handful of their exclusives where K-Mart tends to order plenty for everyone.
A MUST HAVE!! 😀
I tried your method, Fred, but they wouldn’t go for it. They confiscated them before I was able to take a picture of his face. Unlike the prototype(?) picture on the bottom, he has a cool, unique face with some red of his mouth showing.
As far as I’m concerned if it’s out on the salesfloor then it should be sold. This same thing happened to me the other day with some singles I found. They did sell them to me by scanning an item with the same price so to the computer it looked like I bought 10 nail files.
awsome , gotta get that one toooooooooooooo !!!
I wish they would have put the sticker on the plastic bubble and not the card.
Even “MOMS” on Mothers Day (With some of Dad’s Day $$$ throwed in)can’t afford the Cars 2 JET Carring Case at Wal-Mart for $47.99… THAT IS RIDICULAOUS!!!!
WHAT????? Siddeley is $48???? I was sure the price will be $25-$30 range… If it is right, what a deception!
Just found that post where the price was supposed to be more like $23… Are we talking about the same plane set??? http://www.takefiveaday.com/2011/05/01/mattel-disney-pixar-diecast-cars-2-siddeley-spy-plane-first-class/
(MET: Post coming this afternoon – his name is Everett).
It is not the same plane. I saw the big one in a walmart Friday. It is not Siddeley.
I just found it on ebay 🙁 Wao, $109,99 It looks really nice but it hold only 5 cars 🙁 $47,99 is still a lot of money for a “Carrying Case”.
One more place I’ll have to go on my way home on the 16th.
Pit Crew Mater: Neat!
Kmart: Not Neat!
