The new Target-only Neon Racers series are starting to pop up on shelves. Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Nigel looks nice all dressed up with neon-ish striping (not actual neon or glow in the dark). You can find the case assortment here. Lined up, the 4 Nigel Gearsley released. Nigel, Neon Racer Nigel, […]

The Neon Racers are listed online. Not available to order just yet but they should be hitting stores soon. This is the 4-pack essentially costs the same as the singles ($4.99 each) at $19.99 for 4 diecasts. The 4 Neon Racers in this box set are all available as singles and all available as singles […]

“Paul V.” sends us photos of Cora Copper landing in Australia! The warning is not to eat her plastic camera. She was one of the last vehicles listed as a Final Lap diecast but never made it out in 2010. Too bad she’s not made of actual copper. Not listed in the next US case […]

While the CARS magazine is being discontinued in the US … it lives on in France and other European countries. And unlike in the US, in Europe, you can include a freebie in a magazine and I believe they usually include a plastic CAR and this month, it’s Colossus! Well, mini Colossus but pretty darn […]

The kissing couple on the bridge are named after Pixar founder John Lasseter & his wife, Nancy. Thanks for the nice photo of the EU package, “David V!” Perhaps this will arrive in the next US Movie Moment box – as of now, unknown when the next case is coming. “John H.” sends us his […]

Thanks for the great pics, “Anthony C!” Arriving in Europe, Mach Matsuo, Shu’s Crew Chief … Hi-Diddily-Ho! (Ned Flanders not included). He’s awfully large – I mean, a giant chunk of metal is nice … but the iconic Datsun 240Z is not a large car … Presuming Shu is a Typical Le Mans race car, […]

The age-old ripstick technology has been upgraded to the 21 century – it’s not a corkscrew and you can launch more than one vehicle at a time. Called “Riplash Racers,” this is the big playset for it – Rip Start Challenge Loop. This is the plastic Lightning McQueen you get with the set. The vehicles […]

As “Momoe” has discovered, at CVS, you can double sales by just doubling the price … well, technically, it’s about 250% of wholesale … The CVS price tag “YOU PAY …” would be more effective if they listed a much larger price like $19.99 and then “YOU PAY” but without it, it simply sounds like […]

The Hydro line goes Deluxe. These are the only two listed – thanks for the nice photos, “John H.” “Mariela M.” sends us this pic of them on the shelves at the Mattel Store (meaning regular retailers didn’t order enough …) … and from this photo, it doesn’t look like there will be a shortage […]

Thanks John H. for sending along photos of “Carla with Flames.” Not a CHASE so it’ll be back again later in the year. Carla is a unibody now but because the decorative wrap does not over the front and the metal color is not a match, Carla the unibody is actually worse looking than the […]
