When the Q was first announced, it had all the looks of a weak franken case and a few were shipped out with this assortment. Other than the new Luigi & Guido with Glasses, everything else was with CARS already available elsewhere or soon to be available plus a lot of CARS that seem to […]

As “BMW” has chimed in and “Quercy” sends along a photo of the new 2014 cards … As you can tell, it’s essentially the 2013 cards – carrying over the same “themes” motif (changing out the background to a different speedway screenshot), and bringing back the World of CARS banner – so I guess we […]

TRU seems to have gotten a new case of Radiator Springs Classic but sales seems to have slowed down quite a bit. Was this a one-shot deal to see how sales might go? Will there be more next year? The 3-pack box sets seem to have sold okay but not not very rapidly. The 10-pack […]

If you’re lucky, there is an unprecedented amount of CARS diecast singles floating around – retailers are still receiving/moving from distribution and opening cases H, M, N, P, Q & R cases which contain CHASES, SUPER CHASES and beloved sought after releases. It is or can be a bounty of CARS …I don’t believe there […]

“John H.” sends along great pics of the Walmart Tokyo Mater Box Set which contains two variants, one of which is actually a brand new release. It was easy to lose track of all the variants and versions of Tokyo Mater especially since this version was shown off many times but after all was said […]

There are 4 diecasts available to purchase at my Target … this Francesco & Sarge escaped the clutches of the CARS aisle (with PLANES in the small kids aisle) but alas, only made it as far as the Hot Wheels/”boys” aisle a few aisles over … No, I will not buy you those, put them […]

Okay, here’s what we do know. In 2011 and 2012, there were a series of CARS racers released in metallic paint – all as exclusives in some manner. For Kmart CARS Day #8 and #9, 10 of the 11 Piston Cup Racers were released as Silver Metallic diecast CARS (except for Rip Clutchgoneski). At TRU, […]

Coming soon to a retail store near you – probably around the time the PLANES DVD is coming out? Probably November? Comes with 48 PLANES and 12 CARS. Presumably it will be more than just Dusty & McQueen but you never know. 🙂

Bob “the Master Maker” has made some amazing customs from Chug! Dinoco Note the nice touch of the stalks on the door. Nice flames on the door! If Mattel packed this in a case, there would definitely be 8 Octane Gains. 🙂 Very cool original design. Old school! Classic! I think this is my favorite […]

It looks like from the time they announced the newly compiled cases, they made more changes to it … the least confusing way is probably this chart to see what changed from announced P to actual P and how you view/might view the alleged Kmart case … SPOILER ALERT: No Mildred Bylane, No Super Chase […]
