It seems so simple … I has a few more questions. When you say 1/17, do you mean there are 17 CARS in this series as I only see this one and Francesco. I tend to only shop at Walmart, Target and Toys R Us but I do not find a lot of CARS on […]

“John H.” sends along nice photos of the new Luigi & Guido with Glasses … Guido is all new with “twisting forks” and of course, the three glasses accessory. And it’s immediately obvious that Luigi is different also – they have added the black “mold” line around his windshield/eyes. This line was added to all […]

NOW, the last of the Micro Drifters 3-packs have arrived! Including the last of the Micro Drifters shown off at the launch party last September – Flo. And perhaps good news for Micro Drifter collectors, Funny Car Mater was not shown off last year at launch and not listed anywhere so maybe they are starting […]

Arriving in revised CASE Q – Ichigo. They should have added strawberry scratch & sniff. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” From the family of “Suki Cute.” Repaints we do not mind – bring on as many as possible – we’ll collect ’em all but as a CHASE, we won’t see Ichigo again exactly […]

“Wraukn” sends along a lab pic of the upcoming Deluxe release for 2014 … He comes with both oil cans & a headset … I had to double check. It’s actually correct. Mack is the only Pit Crew Member that has both a headset & oil cans during the Pit Row scenes from CARS 1. […]

So, while we are on the cusp of wrapping up “Themes 2013” as a design motif – certainly as singles, and multi-packs, everything that is on the poster is out, however, there are still a few releases off the poster looming that we don’t know for certain. October, 2013 – the next announced Kmart CARS […]

With the arrival of Ichigo (thanks for the great photo, “John H.”) … … All 115* Diecast CARS of the “Themes 2013” series are out! That fact by itself is a miracle. Our brethren Hot Wheels collectors might sock you or the wall if you utter the phrase, “You mean Mattel didn’t release the entire […]

When the Q was first announced, it had all the looks of a weak franken case and a few were shipped out with this assortment. Other than the new Luigi & Guido with Glasses, everything else was with CARS already available elsewhere or soon to be available plus a lot of CARS that seem to […]

The last of the 4 Toon Box Set “re-releases,” also has a unibody upgrade. So, while Daredevil Lightning McQueen (with Buck Teeth) along with Big Fan & Lug are all re-releases, they have never been released in a 3-pack before – so the packaging format is all new. In addition, Daredevil Lightning McQueen with Buck […]

Since the Disney Store has been adding a lot of Hot Rods singles, it looks like they are carrying the theme further … The CARS Deluxe Die Cast Hot Rod Set Thanks for the heads up, “ToyFountain.” Did this older Mater Hot Rod set always have that brown Mater Hot Rod? Or is this a […]
