Disney Theme Parks has released 4 racers that mostly match the ride cars … Some Disney Theme Parks merchandise is only available by calling the 800 number (1-877-560-6477). Since there is nothing on the front that is different, the product code of each diecast should be the barcode UPC. I’m not sure if you need […]

They have arrived in Australia and it looks like they ship from Mattel’s warehouse by next week! These Pit Row Launchers were listed a while back but they were just a text listing with no real details. Other than Rip Clutchgoneski, getting re-releases of Pit Row Launchers did not seem too enticing and now, at […]

Looks like the “pullbacks” series has arrived at Kohl’s. I’m going to out on a limb and say a $9.99 plastic pullback of Finn McMissile will not sweep the retail nation. Though clever to add the LIMITED QUANTITY sticker – it is not a lie. There was no room for this sticker … It is […]

Well, we know the older 2011 and 2012 singles case assortments have been pushed out to consolidators. Now, the 2-packs are oversized deluxe are available also … So, if you’re missing any, you might check your favorite close-out/discounters. Since these are only available at $2.50 and above, you won’t find them at the $.99 Store […]

The latest acrylic box singles – all the “CHASE” & regular releases are now available online and on sale if you buy in round numbers. You can go to the main CARS page at the Disney Store HERE. Flash Low-N-Slow Lightning McQueen Sheriff with a Matte Black Paint Finish & surprisingly not a CHASE Fabrizio. […]

“Matthew1090” found these at the discounter/closeout store “Tuesday Morning.” So, it seems pretty unlikely this line extension will get many more releases. These seem to have gone from release to discount consolidation pretty quickly. John in MO asked why these were not included in the checklist. Some of it had to do with the card […]

To go with the Fast Flip carrying case (from a few days ago), there is also the Fast Flip Raceway (featured already but now with more photos and a new feature). And flips over … Press the big red button to shoot the Micro Drifters up the track … Round & round she goes, nobody […]

David Hobbs, British race announcer voices the character of David Hobbscap – since all CARS character names are auto related, presumably – his “cap” at the end of his name is short for radiator cap … But somewhere along the line, Mattel thought his name was spelled with an extra P … Hobbscapp. It’s on […]

It’s been nice to get re-releases from CARS 1 in the new series, many have been unavailable for a while or in the case of Final Lap CARS, hard to find to begin with … what’s nicer is that many of the re-releases have been “upgraded” to unibody all-metal diecast or higher quality production ones. […]

It’s confounding why these cards have survived through thick and thin, feast or famine, hell, high water and the last ice age. But the short cards (aka: Check Lane cards) have survived to fight another day. On the surface, they certainly make sense – shorter cards means less peg space blocking other items and more […]
