Well, if you’re not too particular … or if you have kids you can hold by the ankles and lower into a bin, CARS, CARS, CARS! 🙂 That is a lot of CARS and easy to merchandise, open, dump, repeat. And two cute boys who perfectly encapsulate the situation with their expressions – joy over […]

“Josh F’ sends us this pic from a TRU … I can’t quite put my finger on it but something is different … Poor Doc – everyone else disappears in the night and is replaced by another. And everytime I’ve ever tried to return something to TRU, I get the full polygraph but Jedi mind […]

Like the last Pit Race Off launchers, they have hit international first. Reader “Sylt” sends us pics from his buy at TRU in Germany … Interesting how the front is all in English … maybe since the names were not translated in the film, they are okay?

Of course, this screenshot is of interest to diecast collectors with the oddball white RPM […]

No case assortment yet but coming next as mini’s – with motorized trailers … It looks like the first release of Mini Chick Hicks in GREEN is finally coming. Unknown if McQueen’s current red trailer will simply be painted blue? Or will Fire Department Mater simply be with same trailer RED came with? Presumably, King […]

As I said, the Mini’s are getting better and better … And even better, if you live near an Aldi Store, Mini 2-packs are sale this weekend at $4.99 – thanks, “John of MO.” Though they are jumping a gun a little on what’s pictured there. While Mini Bob Cutlass is out, I don’t believe […]
