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 […]

Every once in a while, there’s a 2-pack/Movie Moment Case where it might be easier just to buy the case. CASE E The weakest “2-pack” in this case is probably Lightning with Rust-eze Sign & Fred though some collectors might not have seen Fred in a while and of course, the sign is new. Doug […]

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, […]

It looks we’re getting everything on the poster for 2013.* It looks like the E Case will be the same as the international assortment.   These are in the warehouse – not shipping yet but soon. Photos below from Canada – thanks Buckland Blowouts! Lightning with Rust-eze Sign & Fred Doug Speedcheck & Palace Guard […]

“Holly H.” got a very nice surprise – upgrade in her Factory Sealed Case N … The case is supposed to include a regular Rip Clutchgoneski but in all the repacking, unpacking and re-packing, it seems a Metallic Finish Rip Clutchgoneski must’ve slipped in from the “Kmart Case.” I originally thought this Gold Metallic Rip […]

Thanks, Rob (My 6 Kids) for the info on the case assortment. It’s as best as we can expect. A nice final deluxe case to close out the Themes 2013 “year” with everything shown on the poster released! A miracle! No idea on Muggsy Liftsome* – maybe 1 lucky person who mails in for the […]

The 3 PLANES Target 4-pack box sets have been a big hit and the 4th one with the Navy jets should be a blazing seller. So, two more box sets have been added. No names and no listings of what’s in the sets. We can cross our fingers and hope there are not many or […]
