Thanks “John H.” for the heads up & photo. The “Birthday” Themed Series of singles and this box set is probably a TRU exclusive … Unlike the RS Classics singles of 2018, the eye-positions/expressions are same as it ever was – not variants/not “new.” It looks like these are just meant to use as birthday […]

Here’s a preview of the display box of the 2018 Micro Racer singles (in bags). While released overseas, it does not seem to have hit the US yet. It’s not high res but there seems to be no real surprises as the poster included is more revealing. A bunch are available in the 10-pack.

“Get Me Collectibles” is taking pre-orders for Precision Series playset – Lizzie’s Radiator Springs Curio’s (it’s new official name). Not sure what the working features are on Lizzie but most of the playset diecasts feautred working headlights. The original playset from 2006 had a lot of lights so this is probably not much of an […]

Precision Series Ramone’s House of Body Art Playset is now officially at Amazon (retail price $119). Sally’s Cozy Cone playset is still at nearly 50% off – $69.95 (it’s MASSIVE!). It’s the closest thing to the fabled GI Joe Aircraft Carrier.  😆 You can pick up Sarge’s Surplus Hut for around $31. Don’t miss out! […]

Thanks for the heads up and great photos, “Lois S.” The “Blind Box” Lightning McQueen are back. The packaging looks the same from 2017. The original listing shows some returning from 2017 but it looks like the entire 6 will comprise of “new” re-releases. Unlike some re-releases, these all look the same as previous releases. […]

Thanks “David V.” for the heads up and photos. The clipstrip cards were technically available in 2017 but no one seems ti have actually spotted them at retail … but for 2018, they seem to have been actually released. The clipstrip ones are different in that the cards are “complete” without the J hook die […]

Thanks “Get Me Collectibles” for the nice photos: CASE C (most releases with sign accessory) Some re-releases not shown such as Jackson Storm. CASE B is essentially identical except the releases do not contain the sign accessory. I think CASE B has 3 Jackson Storm while CASE B has 3 Mater’s. (some re-releases not shown […]

For those who wish that re-releases would look slightly different, your wish has been granted. Thanks for the nice pics, “Samuel K.” Intro Ramone is the only true “new” release. He looks like Ghostlight Ramone but is different (below) including being a lighter shade of blue. What look like frequent re-releases, only now with new […]

Not sure the car behind of you wants a giant flashing equalizer but it’s better than reading your text or running a red light… Of course, available on Amazon. In case you missed it, there’s a Wingo driving around also – that takes a little more work.

Thanks, jrodder86 of Disney Cars Diecast Club for the heads up and detailed photos. The big news appears to be that Frank may be up to 1/4″ smaller … “Old Frank is SLIGHTLY larger. without being able to take exact measurements I would guess old Frank is about 1/4″ wider and 1/4″ longer but appears to […]
