“John H.” sends along some great pics of his Ice Racers collection … Here’s everything out (4 left to go). Icy Francesco is only out in the 4-pack for now – scheduled as a single. Nice backdrop. Original open pics HERE. What does its say in Russian on the back? Nice that the bases are […]

The latest Toon singles re-releases have the updated to 2015 card design … Thanks for the heads up & photos, “Mariela P.” Dr. Abschlepp Wagon was listed last year but this looks like its first re-release. Kabuto Ninja was upgraded to a unibody in last year’s re-release. Cardback reveals the only “new” release of the […]

Thanks for the heads up, “Mariela P!” It’s Bucky Brakedust … listed as a Walmart Toon single …   Will this be called Bucky “Freakin” Brakedust in the Boston area? Or are you guys over that by now? 🙂

It looks like the Toons diecast will continue as a Walmart exclusive – these are the next 3-packs listed. The Protect & Serve diecasts – the most enticing. Student Driver Lightning McQueen, Mike the Sheriff & Didi the Sheriff. Larger pics in yesterday’s post. Kaa Reesu, Yokoza and Dragon Lightning McQueen (all previously released – […]

Love it or leave it, You better gain way You better hit bull’s eye, The kid don’t play If there was a problem, Yo, I’ll solve it Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it … It’s uncanny how Ice, Ice Baby describes the Ice Racers lineup arriving at Target. Thanks for the nice […]

Coming in 2015, a new Toon short – “Protect & Serve.” When Sheriff takes a mandatory vacation, two overzealous rookies from County take over his duties in Radiator Springs. Bent on making a good impression to score commendations, the rookies over-do every aspect of their jobs, finding “crimes” at every turn and turning the quiet […]

The Acrylic Box Radiator Springs Team Lightning McQueen is just a bundle of weirdness. It was a ToyFair promo giveaway that was not marked as a giveaway. By its product code, it seemed to be a series of Kmart mail aways but Kmart claims this and the Metallic Dusty was not. Then, Target.com started shipping […]

There are two CASES of Ice Racers shipped. If you only spot 4 Ice Racers (and a bunch of LM’s and Max’s), it’s CASE A. The number indicates how many are in each case if more than 1. CASE C contains 7 of the 12 Ice Racers – 12 in the case. There is no […]

Thanks to “BMW” comments, I should’ve actually looked at the versions of the Acrylic Box Metallic Ransburg Lightning McQueen from more than 10 feet away. So, here’s the kerfuffle in sequential order. At Toy Fair 2014, friends of Mattel & Disney were given a Ransburg Dusty Crophopper in an acrylic box with a Toyfair logo […]

Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.” These don’t appear to be exclusives – like the Toon Radiator Springs 500 1/2 diecasts, they eventually showed up at WM & TRU. Interesting price on the boxed Metallic LM – it’s $8 online, not $9.99 Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.”
