The Target reset is scheduled first – for Sunday, August 2, 2009 but of course, it might take days or longer before everything is actually shelved. Thanks “NS” for getting us the ultra secretive DPCI numbers which you can enter into the red scanners scattered throughout Target and see if they are in the system […]

Good things come to those who wait … I believe there is an old saying … “Almost anyone can take photos through plexiglass …” But if you can wait a few days … as promised … clean photos 🙂 The only CARS without eyes … you may discuss the philosophical ramifications below … or just […]

Still busy out here … won’t be doing full posts until I get back … but here’s a brief top shelf look … Just a teaser … More to come … Lightyear Launchers … Don’t worry – full res detailed shots of EVERY CAR will be posted … front, back, etc … etc …

Bad news from Metro’s road trip to Comic Con: I just received word from Metro that the mega sized Case M which was to scheduled to include the much awaited and anticipated Richard Clayton Kensington Police SUV will NOT be included in Case M. This is a bit of a downer but there is other […]

The Mater Tall Tales lineup are SINGLES, 4-PACKS and MEGASIZE. (click on links to see other announced case assortments). There was a rumor there would be “Movie Moments” 2-packs but just a rumor. It does look like they did NOT make it past the discussion stage which is good and bad. The good is that […]

Also coming in Autumn – case assortment of the 4-packs for Rescue Squad Mater & Mater the Greater. Look for them in mid September through early winter. NOT Exclusives.
