Some of you may have read about the SMART UNION TOY FACTORY closing due to the economic slowdown but as we might selfishly ask, “How does this affect me, CARS collector extraordinare?” This particular factory did not work on any CARS 1:55 diecast items. Though they are probably cursing Mattel for making them work on […]

While the card design changes again this autumn, for the third year in a row for those keeping track, the World of CARS banner actually continues as the umbrella name. The new singles mainline is now called WORLD OF CARS: RACE O RAMA … And now as the last WORLD OF CARS cards (without the […]

For those that missed out, Kmart.com has the following banner on their website. It downloads a PDF which is just the CARS flyer except the words on the top have been replaced with this: Since Kmart.com does sell the Hot Wheels cases after an “event,” it looks like they will sell CARS cases online also.

Finally, something to easily divide and catalog each’s month’s CAR purchases … a carrying case for each month … 16 CARS? Just about right for October 2008.   Mack folds out to carry 16 CARS – rolls and can be carried around. A TRU exclusive. No price listing yet. Perfect with TREV, the Mini’s carrying […]

CARS 2 has been moved back to 2011. Of course, for us, that means one LESS year of padding out CARS diecast releases since after we start seeing CARS 2 trailers in 2010, they will start launching “preview” CARS 2 CARS in different case assortments as a tease and buzz builder and by April 2011, […]
