A nice surprise, while every previous Radiator Springs Classic singles and box set release up to now has just been re-releases from CARS 1, for the last (?) two box sets of 2013, a surprise new release – especially the Dinoco 400 Box Set with Jay W. – presumably the W stands for Jay Ward, […]

From the LA Times … “Pixar Animation Studios has laid off an undisclosed number of people at its Emeryville, Calif., headquarters due to the delay of its forthcoming film “The Good Dinosaur.” The layoffs affect less than 5% of the company’s 1,200-person workforce, according to a source close to the studio.” 58 are now ex-Pixarians. […]

“Fernando V.” offers up photos of his upgrade for the Kmart CARS Day mail-away … Yep, his came in the fabled white box treatment for Radiator Springs John Lassetire & Muggsy Liftsome. These are boxes generally created by Mattel for exclusives. In the last mail away for Ivan, nearly all just came on card in […]

It’s time to do the Topolino! One of the cutest CARS set ever … if not the cutest. It’s doubly nice is that’s it a 4-pack. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” Anyone who complains these are just 4 Guido repaints with plastic accessories is both a curmudgeon and should be booted from the […]

MagCloud publishes our magazine checklists on demand is having another one of the “secret sales,” They have them every so often but “forget” to tell anyone even I signed up for their emails. So, you basically have until tonight (I think their HQ’s are on the west coast so it should be midnight PST but […]

If you mailed away your cardbacks, receipt and payment to Mattel’s East Aurora address, you should have already received or are getting the Deluxe CARS mailed out (a little early than listed). Thanks for the great photos, Rob (My 6 Kids). Muggsy is HUGE. He is the Andre the Giant of Pitty’s. Muggsy Liftsome and […]

Lightning McQueen is actually not a common release in 2013 so it’s a nice opportunity for newbies to get the original along with Fred. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.”   This is from the scene in CARS 1 where McQueen tries to hide behind a sign of himself – he’s no super genius. […]

Well, a mysterious listing might portend a Kmart CARS Day #11? It’s a Deluxe – oversized case assortment listed as a Kmart Exclusive. So, is it like the May 2013 non-event where if you buy a certain dollar amount of CARS – with some new deluxe exclusive-first to market releases as an enticement – you […]

Arriving Tuesday (thanks for reminder “later mater.”) This 3-disc set contains CARS 1 in Blu Ray 3D, Blu Ray, DVD & a Digital Copy. Only the film is “newly” available in 3D, there are no new bonus features – all still in 2D HD only. Why didn’t CARS 3D get a theatrical re-release? After Monsters, […]

The new Metallic Frosty (Mark Winterbottom) single has arrived in Australia. “Jeaks” sends along some great photos. The MAIN difference is he is NOT a SUPER CHASE nor a CHASE. He is a REGULAR release and not limited – and can be re-released. Will we get a US release? It seems likely but it’s impossible […]
