If nothing else, CARS is a great gateway to a lifetime of reading … there are probably over 50 different CARS books for kids – I have not read or really studied most of them but I will cover the notable ones … The STEP INTO READING series (maybe 100 titles now – not just […]

Other than the Kmart Collector Day, this store has received about 2 CASES a year so holy moley! And I know a few of you might find this hard to believe but I did not feel the need to buy up every new CAR – in fact, I bought nothing here … I think this […]

Since people are reporting CASE C singles already, I updated the chart … Of course, you will NOT expect to find everything at one store or even at several stores. What would be the fun in that? That would be like collecting toilet paper or something. This CARS thing requires commitment, dedication, & 10-10 visual […]

IMPOUND BOOST Sir Cueball (aka: Jeff G) or is that Mr. Sir Cueball is the second to write in but first to send along an interesting photo … Spot the anomaly with Chase Impound Boost? Yes, CHASE cars are supposed to have the confetti blister. I do not believe Mattel is phasing it out but […]

I read all your comments before heading out at 8:30 AM – there wasn’t much I was looking for and even if I didn’t get, it wasn’t going to be a tragedy so I wasn’t in any particular hurry. There were tons of people streaming out of WM – laden with carts – I was […]

Since most everyone will be gone and hunting in stores today, it seems fitting to do a post on one two CARS that are not available in the stores 🙁 Sarge & TJ … but more importantly, Sarge … First, no I do not know when he is coming back but everytime I ask, the […]

Part I to this post is HERE – covering Mack & Hauler … Part II here covers the other two haulers are part of CASE A … with the other HAULERS coming fast & furious either at the tail end of 2008 or early 2009 … If anything, these are even nicer and a nicer […]

First, appreciate that it’s even made and that this is the first of 36 🙂 Next, appreciate that it was not slapped together. The easy way out would’ve been to just slap some stickers on a generic truck trailer they have laying around and call it a CARS hauler. Instead, there are a variety of […]
