Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Play ‘N Race Launchers
There is a whole complicated Play ‘N Race playset, trackset, launchers & tracks where you buy each piece separately and attach them together (the PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE playset/tracksets might also attach).
These are the launchers:
Piston Cup Pit Stop
Route 66’s Speed Trap
You can attach them to “townie” playsets … such as Luigi’s
Or Cozy Cone:
Or Escape From Frank …
ANd you can buy expansion tracks such as this one:
You can see more photos of the townie playsets HERE, Escape From Frank HERE, and the expanision track sets HERE.
The upcoming PLANES Fire & Rescue trackset/playsets also seem to have the same connector pieces.
Collect ’em all?





The Piston Cup Pit Stop has just appeared on Amazon. Several of the others were on sale at Mattel.com last week but seem to be gone now.
I really am starting to like look of these too – kinda cool a cars version of thomas take and play – just to be sure am i right in saying these fit with standard 1:55 scale die casts? Or are they smaller size like the old action agents range?
(MET: These are for 1:55. You get a plastic car but they work with most of the diecast … I doubt the Convoy Bros will fit. 🙂 )
My current collecting habits will probably pass on these. I must say “Bravo” though to Mattel for some attractive and imaginative playsets long overdue. We’ll see how much before I make a final decision.
Okay, these playsets are actually looking to be really cool! Still hoping that Fillmore’s Tent gets released.
