The first three CARS Toons: Mater’s Tall Tales are available for instant watching at Disney.com but not Tokyo Drift … probably have to wait until BOLT ends its theatrical run … It’s nice – they are available for viewing in three sizes, “small,” … Large and FULL SCREEN viewing options (not show here). The three […]

Over the years I have received some fun ornaments from Mrs. Tizmanian that have fueled my passion for comic books, scifi, and other fun stuff such as Batman on the Batcycle, Superman flying over Daily Planet, and a little lunch box replica that came with the thermos such as Super Friends featuring Batgirl, The Flash, […]

Well, there are obvious clues and not so obvious clues … Uh, not reset … or SlicePie was just here … Not reset … or the Target is all tilty and everything is all askew … Yep, the reset has begun. As Target prefers to keep their employees busy and have the shelves look full […]

The Gift Packs (aka: 3-packs) did not get off to the best of starts. The first batch featured CARS packs that were not just terribly un-exciting but frankly, the card design was dull, dull, dull, dull … CASE A (late 2007-early 2008) Cactus McQueen, Dirt Track Doc Hudson (Red Rims) & Sheriff Pace Car (Charlie […]

While a photos of these were released a few months, they have definitely stepped up the design of the packaging and in this case have gone all out for the Mini’s … Mattel definitely didn’t skimp or just “made do.” It’s impressive that they specifically design individual and custom display boxes for each and all […]

Niki P. was kind enough to write a review for us … When I opened the package the playset was being held in place by those plastic tabs that they now are using with the haulers and Shake and Go toys.  The inside back of the box has a back drop looking down the main […]

In honor of MacWorld’s keynote today, why and when we should get the Apple Mac iCar re-released along with his Pit Crew in a beautiful box set. A few days ago, we covered why the Mac iCar is not on the re-release schedule. Briefly, there is no ‘legal’ reason in the way people use the […]

A nice new addition to the CARS lineup – an exclusive at Target, new box sets featuring a Hauler, the Piston Cup Racer & a Pitty. Camera phone look at the first three from Bill H. – thanks. Carsmama sent us some nice pics of Chick out of the box … The nice new look […]

The blow by blow of the Haulers distribution situation is just another bizarre happening when it comes to CARS. The easy is never easy. When Haulers were announced, there was much rejoicing. CASE A was announced – 2 Mack’s, 2 Chick Hicks Hauler & 2 Gray, the Dinoco Hauler. But then we heard that Walmart […]

I wonder how many of the items/playsets & tracks popping up this week were buried in a gardening pallet … The first of the previously announced MINI PLAYSET-TRACK is out … now called Race ‘n Rescue with the Fire Station fascade and MINI RED. These were the original photos of the track set up, I’m […]
