The newest 2-packs for 2022 … The return of Dinoco Mia & Tia though not too different as they always had eyelid lines … Ramone (Purple) has already been released as a eyelid single – the Flo is in the 2-pack has slightly different eye position than regular single Flo. Mrs. The King has been […]

The 2-packs are back and hopefully on your store pegs. Some are carry-overs from 2021 but they were nigh impossible to find. 🙁 Doc Hudson is the Thai version (not vastly different but a new mold). Cruisin’ Lightning McQueen (from the Welcome to Radiator Springs line first) is the Thai version, more metallic and with […]

The 1st Deluxe CARS are out for 2022 … Craig Faster, 1st release with eyelid lines. Marco looks pretty much the same though not available for years so a nice chance for people to collect him … if someone has their last Marco release handy, same size, this one looks larger?? Miss Fritter 2022 has […]

The Singles Case DXV-95BE has arguably the 1st First New CAR of 2022 … So, far, 2022 has been a year of retail restocking with a handful of releases that have the new eyelid line but otherwise, repeats from the past few years … However, “Ramone Green” is an interesting release that you decide if […]

The 2022 Singles Case DXV-95BD … a few first timers with the eyelid line, Timothy Twostroke & Otis (Otis is a bigger variant besides just the eyelid line). First time Andy Vaperlock has the eyelid line. Not the 1st release with eyelid line but nice to see them back … And more common, though the […]

This one is not scheduled until October 18, 2022 – it might change but it may be the books out for Christmas … Road Trip! Magnet Picture book is for kids … but ore CARS revealed. Circus CAR addition … And another pic of “Jet Engine Mater.” 4×4 pickup truck, a clown car based on […]

Thanks, “Carl P.” for the heads up. The CARS on the Road Picture Book is scheduled for August 2nd (Tuesday) so it seems likely the TV series on Disney+ will start airing in late July? Maybe the Wednesday the week before as most Disney shows seem to premiere (July 27th). Available for pre-order at Amazon […]

So far in 2022, we have not had a lot of new releases unless you count new variants with the eyelid line but the plan seems to be: a) restock from 2021 when many/most retail stores did not get much stock. b) building up the base for new kids coming onboard when the new CARS […]

Thanks, “Samuel K.” for the photos and heads up. The Rocker Arms Int’l Raceway 5-pack is back and re-configured. So, now the box sets are made in Thailand (along with the singles) so no more variant eye positions??  Here are the last 2 releases. This set features the 1st eyelid line version of Todd Marcus […]

Here is the CARS Piston Cup racers by sponsor and number updated with the racer names/releases through 2021. We don’t have any new 2022 Piston Cup releases yet but there are some mysterious names on a list so we might get the CARS 3 racers all filled out by 2022? (you can right click for […]
