The Vitaminamulch Box set was supposed to be a Walmart exclusive but has turned up at the Mattel Outlet stores. What does this mean? It’s hard to say. The bad news is that this seems to be a common occurrence in the toy industry – a big retailer committing to an exclusive and then changing […]

Finally, a nice canon playset for PLANES … the Fire & Rescue Control Tower Playset. You get a nice runway for displaying – the tower elevator goes up & down. The PLANES included are plastic. The Amazon link also has a couple videos if you want to see it in action.

The Target BOGO sale has ended – it was successful in clearing the shelves … Now will we get see actual re-stock? Weird that this is the only Hot Wheels Basic left – it’s not the worst looking HW’s out in circulation but hey, guess it’s a minivan. 🙂

The Vitaminamulch Gift Pack Box Set is pretty great. They did a great job of replicating Dusty, Chug & Sparky from the short! While only the “middle” parts of Dusty are diecast, he’s still great fun. He is AirDevil Jones Dusty. Nicely detailed. Every fun detail is there. With the hex so he fits in […]

Looks like there should be plenty of Lil’ Dipper’s on the pegs – basically if I can spot that many of them … Happy shopping!

Arriving in stores. Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Mostly a repiant of the previous smaller helicopters. Still nice. The only major different is it has the hex slot underneath for attaching to playset pieces. Other working TV reporters from CARS. “John H.” even found the screenshot – nice! Thanks, “John H!” This is […]

Thanks “GetMeCollectibles” for the nice photos of the NEW Planes 2015 singles arriving … Falco Firebird Pack Rat Vasquez Pics and links of Planes 2015 singles & box set. Thanks for the grea pics, “GetMeCollectible.”

Coming soon … Air & Ground Rescue – the 3 pack. Hopefully it shows up soon as Lil’ Dipper (deluxe) and Dynamite, the Smokejumper (single) have been pretty hard to find on card. I think that’s also Racer Dusty? Thanks for the great pic of the int’l packaging, “David V.”   Drop us a line […]

There was a 3-pack listing for Teddy, the Secretary of the Interior (along with Pontoon Dusty & Drip) … it was presumed it would be a 3-pack box with a window and a PLANES F&R scene but it’s a cardboard box with three singles! Only on Amazon. “John H.” sends along great photos. Like the […]

There’s a sale going on at TRU. 2 For 1 on PLANES singles … well, hopefully your choices are real choices …. Sale on Radiator Springs Classic Box Sets. And the North Atlantic Sprint box set is $19.99 – the only place to find “Qualifying Dusty Crophopper.” Hopefully your TRU is better stocked.
