Materlover was kind enough to send us proof that we have a backup of every CARS item produced in case Disney’s salt mine storage springs a leak 🙂 If you look closely, you see that they also ate the proper amount of Pop Tarts to get the license plates … AND he bought the hardcover […]

Yes, Mattel is launching a Collector’s Club … as Juicy Bling Barbie might say – “We’re not just for kids anymore!” I guess the days of selling Girl Scout cookies and pet grooming are so over for Barbie … (AS IF!) And so, we move onto the next phase of CARS collecting … Movie Moments […]

” … Mater, Lightning McQueen, Doc, Sally, Flo and Ramone all in their original decos. Other than McQ & Flo, it’s the first appearance of all the other Mini’s “dressed” as their 1:55 scale brothers & sisters. UPDATE POST HERE.

Sometimes your dreams do come true … Is it a dream or am I waking? Wake up! Wake up! Price – Don’t Know. Coming When – Don’t know exactly when? But in the next few months. (McQueen might just be to show scale – unknown if included but possible). For old, old, old, school CARS […]

“Steve AKA: Poppa” pointed in a recent comment that the HK couple seems to be taking pre-orders for another 28-ish Motor Speedway of the South set. Most interesting.

(Shhh, nobody tell Al Oft and those Lightyear Guys) Lightning McQueen #95 wins the 3rd Round of Super GT300 Series in Japan (click on the 300GT Tab) at the Fuji Speedway (all in Japanese, BTW). Official Circuit Website page for the #95 Team with driver info.* Cool – actual working headlights, I like it. Here’s […]

Okay, no one panic 😯 There are plenty of 1-day tickets still available, the only ticket to sell out are the 5-day tickets which also allows you in Wednesday night for PREVIEW NIGHT (which runs 3 hours). Yes, that allows you to buy and jump the gun a little earlier than most but don’t panic. […]

Of course, if you bought the Motor Speedway of the South set, you now have 36 Piston Cup Racers … not counting duplicates. If you’re collecting them only as they are released, you should have 14 of the Piston Cup Racers: Lightning McQueen Chick Hicks Dale Jr. Gasprin The King Leak Less Nitroade No Stall […]

When in LA, you can also check out the Pixar CARS Exhibit at the Petersen Auto Museum … “remclsydney” was kind enough to send us pics of his recent visit to LA and the exhibit … Too bad, you can’t pick up one of these in the gift shop. Though the airline might just charge […]
