Well, this is in theory good news … a new endcap is good news … Of course, this Target has about 11 CARS items so it’s mostly Peppa Pig. They look cute though there seems to be about 175 character and variants so I guess I missed that collecting boat plus it looks bad to […]

Thanks, “Jacob H.” for the heads up. Deluxe Radiator Springs Classics 2017 – It does look we are just getting the cabs re-released for Gil, Chet Boxkaar, Ben Crankleshaft, Paul Valdez, and Jerry Recycled Batteries – no trailers. In the regular Deluxe Series,Vinyl Toupee Hauler cab “returns” with one new Semi Cab release – Transberry […]

“Carl P” spotted the new Walmart Reset Sheet for Spring 2017. Nothing too new – we know about the Road Trip Mack. Hopefully the trailer listing is for THIS. My Walmart has the new playsets in. They are not very canon but they look pretty fun and cool. Piston Cup Racing Garage (also available at Amazon). […]

Obviously not too exciting but for completists … Daredevil Lightning McQueen. You get Spin Out Lightning, 5 sets of tires, a poster and a red box.

Well, the listing – they are not yet available. Both have been released as singles but this 2-pack configuration is new. Thanks for the heads up, “John H.”

The 2017 cards do not look that much different from 2016 (or 2015/2014/2013) cards which continues the “Themes Banner” design motif of grouping releases by theme. So, while there seem to be 2017 CARS mixed in with 2016 CARS, the card date will tell the story as with WILMAR FLATZ. Cards from 2016 are marked © 2015. […]

Apparently denying you’ve never seen CARS is not much of a defense … A Shanghai court has awarded damages to Disney and Pixar Animation in a copyright case over a Chinese-made film called “The Autobots.” The court ruled that the film was an illegal copy of Disney’s “Cars.” The court said that the Chinese producer […]

At Cal Adventures, they have updated and replaced the old Luigi’s Flying Tires which proved unreliable, Luigi’s Casa Della Tires building/queuing line was reused, only the ride changed. Thanks to “John H” for the heads up info and the great pics of the ride diecasts. “Don your dancing tires—Luigi’s free-wheelin’ cousins are ready to give you […]

There are two Expanded Universe Road Trip retail display sidekicks and pallet dumps coming … maybe as early as the Post-Christmas reset which should be in the next few weeks? “:Jacob H.” also spotted this early arrival (ebay presumably) … The interesting thing is the official description from Mattel implies there are more of this […]

Merry Christmas – ya filthy animals … 😉 That is the proper greeting? Happy Holidays all! Save up all your money for CARS 3 2017! These are showing up in Germany so maybe coming soon to you! Thanks, “Nico A!”
