Thanks to “BMW” comments, I should’ve actually looked at the versions of the Acrylic Box Metallic Ransburg Lightning McQueen from more than 10 feet away. So, here’s the kerfuffle in sequential order. At Toy Fair 2014, friends of Mattel & Disney were given a Ransburg Dusty Crophopper in an acrylic box with a Toyfair logo […]

Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.” These don’t appear to be exclusives – like the Toon Radiator Springs 500 1/2 diecasts, they eventually showed up at WM & TRU. Interesting price on the boxed Metallic LM – it’s $8 online, not $9.99 Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.”

A couple more of the Toons diecasts from Tokyo Mater have returned … Ito San is a slight variant – he is now a unibody and where as before he had the insert eyes/windshield (in the lenticular era), his eyes/windshield is now one piece with his metal body – while here is the appearance of […]

The boxed Target-only Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen is now on sale online – $8. Of course the interesting thing is no one knows which one you will get when you mail away for it … do y0u get the Toyfair giveaway red box version? Or do you get the store retail version? The acrylic box […]

It looks like Ice Racers diecasts are like the Radiator Springs 500 1/2 diecasts, not a Target exclusive. If you prefer a case, drop a line with your favorite Mattel authorized dealer – though Mattel might have stopped shipping until after the New Year. The case contains 1 EACH OF unless noted below: Ice Racer […]

It seems the Ice Racers series & Toon are coming in Spring 2015 … but maybe it’s earlier? The post Christmas reset? Ice Racer Carla Ice Racer Jeff Gorvette   Ice Racer Lewis Hamilton   Ice Racer Max Schnell   Ice Racer Nigel Gearsley   Ice Racer Rip Clutchgoneski   Ice Racer Shu Todoroki   […]

For smaller kids, the giant oversize Radiator Springs 500 1/2 Off-Road (sounds) Lightning McQueen even comes the short on the DVD. Thanks fot the nice pics, “Nikko.” Available at Amazon. If you need a full set of the 1:55 singles.

Disney sent along a 2014 SDCC Neon Racer Special Edition Set!  – Contest time! You can see more photos HERE. Please note, I removed the diecast CARS to photograph and I should be able to re-attach them to the battery pack, it’s a tab lock and a plug but NOTE, it has been opened but […]

Thanks “MacQueen” for the early look at the Ice Racers Ice Racers Moscow Race 4-Pack. All 11 racers + Vitaly Petrov are listed as singles so if you’re not a card completist, you can pick up 4 of the 12 in this box set. (Singles post ran this morning). Are the 4 below Box Set […]

Thanks “MacQueen” for an early look at the Ice Racers singles on card! All 11 racers + Vitay Petrov are listed as singles. What’s left after these (first wave?) – Rip Clutchgoneski, Carla Veloso, Nigel Gearsley & Jeff Gorvette are listed. Of course, we are still waiting for wave 2 on the Neon Racers. Nice […]
