Okay, that might be a little too much hype … hey, it’s better than collecting furry mooses 🙂 (yes, I know that moose plural does not need an “s” at the end but mooses is funny to say 🙂 ). Discounted to $19.99 though no real hurry – says sale runs through May. Okay, in […]

The oddball branch of the CARS family … no real purpose yet they seem to hang around. The Check Lane series makes sense for Hot Wheels – stores that don’t normally carry toys can put a few Hot Wheels at the checkout area as impulse buys … and since there’s no “complete” set of characters, […]

You know CARS are just too hard to collect, I think it’s time to switch to these … Who can resist furry moose and a pig (?) eating marshmallows on a stick? No chase anteaters, no buy 5, get 1 free dingo promo to deal with. And look, a tiny tent – man, finally something […]

This was Bruiser when he first made an appearance as a WM8 CAR … Or close up … Brown Eyed Guy. Many, many, many, many months later he finally returned to the US market as part of the 3-pack … One eye color  change. He’s now blue eyes Bruiser … no a huge deal right? […]

The GOOD NEWS is Patti and Todd the Pizza Planet Truck are coming in CASE H. The not so good news? You did ask for more Lightning McQueen’s, right? And there is a blank space at the end because the listing reads Impound McQueen (CHASE) which is presumably not correct as Chase CARS are only […]

The main news since our last update is that with the recent toy SKU reduction of the Big Three retailers (WM, Target & TRU) – it looks like Mighty Muggs will be a TRU exclusive only item coming this autumn-holiday season. It’s not that Mighty Muggs have not sold well but retailers just don’t get […]
