Thanks for the heads up and photos, “Carl P.” The TRU Big Christmas Book is out. No CARS. Why? Well, they start planning this book a year out – either getting exclusives and negotiating ad dollar tradeouts, etc, etc … so why no CARS. Since Mattel was not sure if they might lose the CARS […]

Though not particularly canon, it does look fun for kids. Mater’s Challenge Playset Includes plastic LM.

Thanks for the heads up, “Jacob H.” These are on eBay from Europe – and the listing for Mattel shows 4 “TBD” Color Changers coming so presumably these are the next four coming to the US – which should close out 2016. Darrell Cartrip, Dinoco Lightning, Francesco Bernoulli & Brand New Mater. Some may have […]

Unlike “dialing a phone” or “hold your horses” or “don’t change the dial,” SHIP IT still means something. Here’s every ship on the ocean and where they’re headed … it’s from 2012 (because if you want the latest, I’m guessing you have to pay thousands to access), it’s still pretty accurate … of course, we […]

Sarge’s Surplus Hut is scheduled next in the Precision Town Series … but after that, There is a listing called “Precision Town CC.” So, can can expect the Cozy Cone by Christmas or soon after (Merry Christmas to us! 🙂  ). The other abbreviation is “RSMC.” Is it Docs Clinic? Even though it’s officially “Ornamental […]

There are 2 3-packs listed for the Road Trip Series (at Walmart only). No breakdown of what inside? Is it just a repack of the 6 singles? Or will it be two of the singles already released plus the only missing townies – Lizzie & Luigi-Guido? Send us a pic if you spot ’em.

The NEXT Precision Series playset is Sarge’s Surplus Hut – no listed date of release but it’s next. It will be cool to get the light-up sign. Of course, we have the Sarge single with the opening hood – maybe now we’ll get a headlights Sarge with the Precision Series playset. If you need a […]

Martin Arriola has a couple new memorabilia items up on eBay! It’s a fun package of a 1:24 Ramone prototype and a bowling shirt promotional item from Mattel’s pitch to Pixar in 2004. Hand made, hand painted resin. Part of the 1:24 Diecast Collector’s Series – they released Lightning, Mater & Doc Hudson – Ramone was […]

It’s been YEARS since we’ve had a sale this nice. Buy $10 worth of CARS product, then your mainline singles are $1 at TRU. Okay, your singles selection is probably not great and I believe RS Classics nor Toons/Expanded Universe singles are not included but still nice. And hopefully this means they are clearing the […]

Thanks”John H.” for the heads up. There’s no Thomasville track – there’s a Martinsville (Speedway) Track (presumably it’s based on that track (back East and not on Route 66).  Or it could just be a modified re-release of the Piston Cup 500 track set from a time so long ago.
