Thanks for the great pics, “Anthony C!” Arriving in Europe, Mach Matsuo, Shu’s Crew Chief … Hi-Diddily-Ho! (Ned Flanders not included). He’s awfully large – I mean, a giant chunk of metal is nice … but the iconic Datsun 240Z is not a large car … Presuming Shu is a Typical Le Mans race car, […]

It looks like the Disney Store diecasts have switched to the paper & plastic (not acrylic) mini carrying case format. Thanks for the nice photos, “Infiniti McQueen!” The new Police Lightning has color lights and metallic paint. The monochrome matte version was the previous release.

“LaneChange” sends along his nice stroll through the Mattel Company Store/Outlet store in Texas. The usual suspects. Porto Corsa Lightning & Francesco – still a few left, go figure!  And lots of Action Agents. Though this is actually a nice endcap. The rest are what you’d expect – playsets from the past few years.
