Lubewig is one of the most detailed and fun sculpts – certainly of  the 2014 Themes releases: What’s nicer is he’s not a one-time release CHASE so he’ll be around … Nice brand new and fun sculpt. He is fellow rust-eze CAR or perhaps, what’s French for rusty CAR? Thanks for the great open photos, […]

Several oddities – 2014 started with the continuation of the case code lettering of 2013 but with the new card designation DISNEY WORLD OF CARS. But now, after running through the rest of the alphabet – CASE A seems to have arrived at retail … and it’s back to the more correct “Disney • Pixar […]

It looks the names of the Yacht Race Fans (2-pack) are: Carin & Kimberly Rims

Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Emmanuel the Paris Tour Bus has arrived … Sculpt-wise, he looks great but it’s the age old toy vehicle battle – scale or diecast metal … it’s hard to have both unless of course, you can list it at $20 to $100 … Next to the closer scale […]

Thanks for the nice pics, “John H.” While we have had several Range Rover releases, Mike Lorengine is a little undersized … I think Josh Coolant is scaled to fit in the Mattel series of CARS characters. Josh Coolant definitely seems undersized for the 1:43 Disney store series (where this one came from). Josh Coolant […]

Thanks for the great pics, “King Andy.” Father Burke has arrived with his two Cardinal Pitty’s (Angelo & Antonio). Technically a Father is called a Padre in certain parts of the world (along with the military calling a chaplain a padre …) so Father Burke is a Padre but in CARS terms, is Father Burke […]

Looks like Father Burke & Cardinal Pitty’s have hit the Car-Vatican … Okay, I’m guessing there are not many toy stores in the Vatican … but elsewhere in Europe … well, Belgium to be specific – thanks for the great photos, “King Andy.” Er, what theme do these fall under? Orange Afro Wearing Slugs?  🙂 […]

It looks like the Neon Racer series has landed in Target Stores (well, at least the box sets) (this is the international card) Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.” These look nice – though they are not really canon – they are also not really “neon” in the sense they light up or glow […]

It looks like maybe the Pixarians wonder what happened to the Pixar in Disney • Pixar CARS? The first singles cases shipped with the designation DISNEY CARS … But as “Quercy” notes, it looks like they have gone back with the new case? At least in Europe? Or also “fixed,” in the US? Interesting. If […]

Thanks for the heads up and photos, “Lane Change.” The new” Streets of Japan 3-pack box set. You get the return of Kaa Reesu, Dragon Lightning McQueen with Oil Stain and Yokoza. From the initial look, it looks like none of these are variants. Both Kaa Reesu and Lightning McQueen Oil Stain were also 2-piece […]
