Disney Pixar CARS: You are a Toy Figurine! You Are Not a CAR!
Available in the UK – The figurine box set is not bad – £15 to get a over-view of most of the iconic Pixar characters …
But selling the individual figurine CARS (that have NO rolling wheels) is a bit shabby – especially at £2.97 or about $4.40!
What’s the point of a toy car that does not roll? It’s one thing if they are the tiny capsule cars that are $1 – hey, what do you want for $1 but for the price of a regular Mattel diecast? Not metal and no working axle and wheels – that’s enough to make a grwon man cry let alone a 4-year old. Shame! Shame! Shame!
That’s just wrong and definitely NOT A ‘Winning Move.”
I think that NOT SUITABLE warning should encompass all living humans from 0-121.
Thanks for the heads up & warning “Rippers.”

2 things:
1) some guy on Australian e-bay is trying to sell those Sarges with non-rolling wheels for up to $40 a pop!
2)I just love the little characters from the movies. I collect toys from all sorts of films and tv. I have most of these but they are still cute.
The Disney store has had some really nice figurine sets for their properties, especially the movies. Too bad Disney is closing most of them. It is another case of bad merchandising. Just about all the stores in Washington state have been closed. Disney appears not want to pay high rent, but refuses to lease at lesser costing venues. Also, the stores stopped carrying adult size clothing- big mistake.
So true…. I don’t know where I’m going to find another Winnie the Pooh t-shirt, and my Peter Pan pajama footies have holes in them… seriously?? LOL
I know, right? And my Mickey Mouse panties are so thread bare, I might as well not even bother…now where, oh where, am I going to find new “Disney Store” ones??? 🙁
Where is PirateDAD when you need a smart bumper comment . . . next thing you are going to tell us is that you need a NEW over-the-shoulder boulder holder . . .
My granddaughter bought me the greatest Big Bad Wolf sweatshirt with a full back portrait of the wolf. Every little kid that sees it points and makes a comment. I’m sure PirateDad has a couple of Captain Hook tee shirts- his hero! 🙂
Geez, what have they been feeding Guido? Dude’s getting BIG!!
Potted Meat and Pork Pie of course!
aha but the impound cars don’t roll !
Nor should they! Have you ever tried to drive a car with a parking boot? 🙂
