The recent John Lasseter/Chip Foose signing went much better for GoDodgerBlue … in fact, it sounds a lot more like what you’d expect … it certainly seems like the problem was with the Disneyland Store “Off the Page,” somehow underestimating that people would be interested in seeing and talking with John Lasseter & Chip Foose […]

Most Target stores seem to have been restocked with the CARS 2 box sets. Other than gift giving – if you’re planning on self gifting these to yourself, just hold on for three-four weeks. There will be a massive clearance in a few weeks and it’ll be the last we see of these … so […]

Thanks for the nice open pics, “John H.” He was a long time coming … it’s presumed he is the missing #36 CAR from CARS 2: Porto Cosa cards – reserved for him but never released on that card. It’s also presumed he was added last as comic-relief – he’s from a fictional country so […]

Yesterday was the day Chip Foose & John Lasseter was at the store to sign CARS items … Thanks for the nice photos, “Nikko.” Apparently it did not go very smoothly … You had to get a numbered voucher and be in line when it was your turn but apparently after about #50, they decided […]

Possible variant alert from “Wraukn.” There is a version of Mater Hawk with dark shades … I have not seen one in a while so anyone else spot this? Error or variant? Side by side with typical release. McQueen Hawk looks to be the same … Thanks, “wraukn.” So, anyone spot the dark shades version?

This aisle may not be to federal specifications … though I guess as long as it’s not the chip & lard bucket aisle … “customer lodged in aisle 6” At the other end? Tarp one! And if you’re gonna hide cards, you really must do a better job in the yarn section or something … […]

The CARS portion of the Walmart red bins is not supposed to be out until Sunday but may have made an appearance in your store. This was at the front of a Walmart but it might be in toys, or with the Christmas toys aisle (which may NOT be by the regular toy section) or […]
