CASE B of the OVERSIZED have not been easy to find: Because … a) WM is holding back for Black Friday and the “Blitz” Week After … b) There is a general quarantine due to the glue issue … We have out top bears working on it – top bears. It’s rare to see the […]

Since this will be the last Christmas without real CARS seasonal CARS (no, mock ornaments and mock bulbs do not count), and since the Christmas tree fire incident of 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007 and the squirrel incidents of 2004 & 2006 – I think this year, I’ll go with a flying reindeer, and a […]

In today’s times, Samuel, Mark P & JestrJef only needed a few hours to conquer the new Lewis territory … and as far as we can tell, wiped out all the new launchers 🙂 We saw, we drove, we dialed and we have launchers! “Samuel R.” who alerted us to the find – had 10 […]

Don’t forget, TRU (Toys R Us) like last year – in some stores – they will be setting up a SECOND CARS sections near the front of the store somewhere so look and or ask if there is another Disney Pixar CARS diecast section – it may not be readily apparent. At this store, it’s […]

This is how it begins. The cutting slash of retail capitalism … Woolworth’s replaced a million five-n’-dimes, Kmart crushed Woolworth’s, and Walmart took down Kmart … Monty Wards was replaced by Sears and Target has knocked down Sears … and so it goes … and now, Lewis Drugs has struck the first blow against Walmart […]

While this still is unavailable in my area, thanks to JD, Monica and especially Christine (“The flames licking my house are only a few feet tall now – hey, is that a TRU?) … so, um, thanks for snapping us great clear shots huddled under an LA County fire blanket … 🙂 Now that everyone […]

Okay, this is it – whatever issues they had with glue, with assortments, with whatever have been resolved and stores should receive these in the next week if they have not already received them. The December pallet* is/are: For some stores, they will get these in the next few days … Followed by a restock […]

Ready, set – go! Run to your open display or sealed minty mint Impound Lightning McQueen … Is he happy or frowny? Thanks Marceau for the great photos. This is “correct/normal” Impound McQueen. He has a frown expression. This is the “error” Impound McQueen Marceau got (through an eBay auction). It is a very nice […]
