It’s only been a few days but we already have some variants … “Carl P.” noted that there’s a PURPLE and a BLUE OCTANE GAIN HAULER (aka: Bobby Swift’s hauler). The correct one seems to be the PURPLE one as that’s the one photoed on the back of the other hauler boxes. “Loic and Katie Ann […]

Thanks to everyone who sent in great pics, “John H, John V, Michael VN, Howard DH, Travis S., Bobby D., Celso, Damien V., Brian B., Bill L., Carl P. … sorry if I left you off the list!” My local WM, guy loaded these and then called it a day … This was the weirdest […]

Haulers – Cabs with trailers are a Walmart exclusive – the Wally Hauler returns as is in new packaging so the photo of him is not included here. Thanks, “John H.” for the nice photos. For variant collectors, it looks like there is a color variant on Bobby Swift, Octane Gain’s hauler.

There are 4 deluxe diecasts, RED looks to be a repeat but Mack has updated graphics – Miss Fritter and Tiny Lugsworth are new. Happy shopping!

While everyone is receiving CASE A singles, there are about 10 different endcaps, pallet dumps, sidecaps and counter displays so there are a few other diecasts available … Happy hunting! The re-releases of CARS 1 characters look to be the same but variants? We’ll find out soon.

Thanks, “John H.” for the great photos. Called CARS 3 Mack Hauler Nice update on the graphics! Play action is the same. Mack from all three CARS movies. Great graphics! Thanks, “John H.”

Ward described it as “a really tender moment where McQueen’s driving and Doc’s following him and it’s like the day your mentor passes away.” Eventually, the filmmakers […]

Thanks for the heads up & photos, “John H.” Basically spent @$16.99 for a 2-pack of sunscreen and get $12 bucks of Fandango Cash. In NorCal, that puts you about halfway to a movie ticket.  🙄  Bt it is probably cheaper where you live and if you normally buy Coopertone sunscreen, then it’s a good deal. […]

While we’re still waiting for the embargo date for the 1:55 scale diecasts, JC Penney has official approval on the 1:43 Disney Store scale (Most JCP’s have a mini Disney Store section within the stores). (Thanks for the heads up, Carl P.) You can check them out here – they might still be the only […]

Pre-order is up for the ART OF CARS 3 – due about a month before the movie hits the theaters. There are a few other CARS 3 books coming out on May 2 … with presumably a bunh of spoilers alerts …
