“Lane Change” spotted the new cards on the shelf at his Walmart – well, just two Raoule Caroule’s. In looking over the listed first case of “2014,” while the “new” is not exactly too new, I could see a completist wanting the new cards but leaving Raoule behind? If the listing is correct, there’s only […]

Well, a mysterious listing might portend a Kmart CARS Day #11? It’s a Deluxe – oversized case assortment listed as a Kmart Exclusive. So, is it like the May 2013 non-event where if you buy a certain dollar amount of CARS – with some new deluxe exclusive-first to market releases as an enticement – you […]

“John H.” found a wood Radiator Springs playset and table. This is marked from a company called KidKraft, of course, TRU offered a private label series of wooden CARS in the same gauge as Thomas the Train/Brio, etc … I’m guessing the TRU exclusive ended or TRU is only selling off the remaining stock so […]

The new Metallic Frosty (Mark Winterbottom) single has arrived in Australia. “Jeaks” sends along some great photos. The MAIN difference is he is NOT a SUPER CHASE nor a CHASE. He is a REGULAR release and not limited – and can be re-released. Will we get a US release? It seems likely but it’s impossible […]

Since the Tuners with Flames has gone over so well, Mattel decided to ignite ’em all … Well, maybe not all but we are definitely getting Nigel Gearsley with Flame and Carla Veloso with Flames in 2014 …. Will the others get the IT BURNS addition? El Fuego Miguel. Shu 燃えて. Shu on Fire. Will […]

“spamusubi” had an interesting thing occur at his Kmart during the Kmart CARS Day (last week) … “One case of the ten opened at the Kmart near me had a metallic Frosty in it. Labeling and packaging was specific for this card, wasn’t a packaging error. It had the “metallic deco” indicator (it was silver) […]

The listing offers no real details except just enough … CARS Neon. 1:55 Diecast. They have their own product code and not part of the mainline singles series. No listing for the singles assortment but there is a playset and also a 4-pack … humm, I think I can name 4 neon glow in the […]

Hope you’re Kmart CARS Day #10 went well. So, which one was your experience? 1) You have enough Kmart’s in your area so you had no problems getting the CARS you wanted. You also got the white printout poster – woohoo! Complete! 2) You have no Kmart’s in your area so it’s like being in […]

Remember, it now starts at 9 AM, Not 11:00 AM. Yes, your local time zone so fuel up early – either you will face a madhouse of Mardi Gras like crowds fighting over a few cases of CARS or Ghost Town USA in your local Kmart USA. If you have never been, arrive slightly before […]

“John H.” spotted this new CARS-PLANES pallet at Kmart … If gardening is not by toys, you may need to wander over. Plus Hydro CARS and Stunt Racers (including Jorg, hard to find for those interested). Keep in mind, none of these are on the Buy-5-Get-2-Deluxe CAR promotion eligible list of qualifying purchases. Thanks for […]
