The sales of Radiator Springs Classics seem to have slowed down quite a bit. This is the first case assortment that did not just fly off the shelf – and after about 3 weeks, most still seem to be on the shelf. But it’s still nice – for newbies and kids, it’s a chance to […]

The Disney Store Franz is pretty impressive, all metal AND it fold/detaches into a “flying car” that Franz is in the film PLANES. He is a flying CAR that you can also convert to driving mode! The Mattel one however seems pretty static … Maybe this is just an early shot of it in packaging […]

No real surprise – mostly easy repaints or certainly small amounts of metal … it’s hard to tell if they “singles” or some other configuration but they are definitely not listed with-as a Gift Pack (Plane, tent & Pitty 3-packs). Will they come two or 4 to a pack? Here are the 5 that are […]

There are rumors there is a TRAINS film coming … It’s not really new news as PLANES was originally TRAINS – PLANES Director Klay Hall … “I had already had lots of conversations with John Lasseter.  We hit it off right away because we were both fans of machines.  We love Formula One racing, we […]

Apparently, if your truck is on fire in a remote area, in Canada, they do not mess around. Trans-Labrador Highway Accident between a Grader & Transport Truck. And yes, water tanker coming in PLANES: Fire & Rescue (der-not a surprise. 🙂  ).

More PLANES diecasts from Mattel are coming … While Franz Fliegenhosen has been revealed, this one is interesting because it appears there is some lever mechanism on his roof so the wing can move? is it just minimal movement or can you actually remove it? The plastic ‘struts” are also thicker & with an extra […]

The PLANES Discs & Home Video is coming November 19, 2013. The Blu Ray, DVD & Digital Copy version – pre-order at Amazon. If you have a 3D TV and 3D Blu Ray player, this is the set with the 3D version of PLANES along with a regular Blu Ray, the DVD version and a […]

Looks like CASE C of PLANES has arrived (for stores still stocking singles). Thanks for the heads up & photo “Snosno.” 86 LJH Special What the Disney Store called Navy Dusty, Mattel calls Jolly Wrenches Dusty Crophopper. There are 2 of each as the “NEW” PLANES released, the rest of the case is a re-release […]

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. 🙂
