Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Oversized Deluxe CASE C
As “CalgaryGuy” notes, it sounds like this case has arrived in Canada already? So, it might be arriving in the US soon …
Yes, Deluxe oversized cases are still strangely assorted without a lot of rhyme, reason or reason to rhyme …
The good news is that Target and Walmart seem to have these in their order rotation so they seem to be showing up on a consistent basis …
For variant collectors, RED has an upgraded cab/face “back” to all metal. Note, he was all metal-faced and metal-cab in CARS 1 (the bed/hook/ladder portion was/is plastic). In CARS 2, he was widened and lengthened but his face plate was plasticized but with this release, he is the CARS 2 larger version with an all metal face/cab. (I hesitate to call it a unibody as his hook/ladder/bed portion is still all plastic). So, this is Red release version #3.
You can view some comparison pics HERE of the original Red, Original CARS 2 Red and DS Red.

Seeing this case on the pegs often right now.
The tags for this are iPhone, Kmart, Science,and Sears. Lol!
saw kabuki mater but these new deluxe line costs PhP 900 (USD20) in the phils.. cant collect em all
Looking forward to Dustin Mellows! Was not collecting when he was originally around!
Hey Mattel just release Frank and Bessie again and make a whole bunch of people happy, will you?
No kidding!
Some stores have as many as ten Reds already hanging on the pegs.
Yeah, Red isn’t selling well in my area. Lightning Storm and Al Oft leave pretty quickly.
I dont see that trend lasting. I think Red is one of the most likeable deluxe, despite his small role in the movies. The appeal is there, I mean what kid couldnt identify with a Fire truck. I’d say kids will go for that over more obscure deluxe much of the time, though a blimp is definitely cool. Dont get me wrong, the potential is there for Mattel to over-do it, if you consider what happened to Finn and his over-production. Think about it, aside from the pegwarmer aspect Finn is a pretty cool car. Any car can be ruined like that.
I think I still need a Dinoco helicopter. We have the DS version with broken wheels.
LOL Bobby, we have the same exact problem as well!
