The Ishani Pit Row Gift Set with Pitty & Tent is out.   “Jupiter20” correctly notes it’s available at Amazon. In fact, Amazon has all 5 in stock at the nice price of $11.99 with free shipping (including Ripslinger). Thanks for the nice pics, “Corinne.” You can find an open pic in this post along with […]

With remnants of CASE H, and a random mix of CASE N, M, R and possibly Q out there – how can you tell what’s on your store shelves, what you missed out on or what probably has NOT arrived at that store’s pegs … Here’s a handy chart. Obviously if you spot Super Chases […]

PLANES in its third week with nearly all kids going back to school is still doing well. It’s the end of the summer so the overall grosses are down but with 3 new movies opening, PLANES was BARELY beat out by 2 of them and beat out a third which is IMPRESSIVE for any third […]

If you missed out on Barry Diesel in 2011, Children’s Toy Closet was able to uncover some in a warehouse … More photos in this post. He’s a BIG BOY – next to the Convoy Brothers … He’s the Andre the Giant of CARS … though he weighs the same as Convoy Brothers G-Man (Barry’s […]

While the whole Silver Series Expanded Universe storyline, shorts and diecast releases seem to have been back burnered – maybe when PLANES went from a straight to home video to a theatrical release, they didn’t want another line intruding on it – but they did hint a Silver Series short would arrive around September so […]

“Mike I.” says hi and sends along photos of his collection … I also have several other customs from Willie that might interest people. I had him create Herbie the Lovebug versions of McQueen, Sally, Mia and Tia. He also created a custom Breast Cancer Awareness Sally, which is a white car with pink ribbon […]

Turns out the Green Dragon Lightning McQueen is not much a mystery – an exclusive but just in a regular box set release at the Disney store. Available online. The Gold Rip Clutchgoneski is available also now.

There have been some mysterious Gold Metallic Rip Clutchgoneski’s pop up around the world on different auction sites … (the space between the front wheel covering and the air dam indicates it’s a Mattel mold and not a Disney store Gold Rip – plus the DS one has yellow wheel rims). While we are expecting […]
