Hey, what’s that in the road? OMG! Veer off! Veer off! Nothing to see folks, just Frank the Combine enjoying an SUV for lunch … Frank the Combine also enjoying a leisurely drive in the country … wide load anyone? Thanks PirateDad … another 1:1 scale CAR to add to his collection … 🙂 Our […]

First, the best supermarket to find CARS – Fred Meyer … not only always supporting CARS but usually with a nice sale … as noted by Pete, Mattel probably gave them a deal on 2008 B Cases … a nice deal if you’re just starting out … (funny, my local TRU seems to have gotten […]

For those trying to sort through what’s out there, I have made you a nice October chart that should be printable – just drag off and drop into any other app. If you like, I’ll do one for November in a few weeks. Of course, this is NOT inclusive of every single store in America […]

This was in yesterday’s Kmart Sunday ad circular … as some have reported already seeing the “exclusive” Mini’s on the store shelves – it seems they are available beforehand or it’s just the Mini’s getting shelved early – it’s hard to tell – as usual. So now you have real proof to show Kmart employees […]

In a perfect world, the Wal Mart endcap would have gone up with … 2 Oversized CASE N5531-999A & 6 Singles CASE M1054-999W … all at once on a specific day. Or 24 Oversized CARS and 108 (18 x 6) mainline CARS. This is the same world where people just buy one or at most […]

Information continues to dribble out … The first Trucks & Trailers/Haulers CASE A has been announced. Mack is #1, Chick is #2 and Gray, the Dinoco hauler is #3 – they have their own numbering scheme … There are two of each in the Trucks & Haulers Case A. We are certain WM will be […]

The Toys R Us Roundup for October 10, 2008. CARS are on sales at Canadian TRU’s … (thanks for the PirateDad flag semaphor). That’s $1.86 USD at today’s exchange rate not counting fees … so make that cross border run for poutine and all the Doc Hudson’s you can carry … (no online sales). Well, […]

Thanks to CollectorMom who found the book at Target, we know everything there is to know about this Expanded Universe line … the reason the book as not listed was that the book is called WORLD OF CARS (nothing about Storytellers) and what we thought were individual books was actually chapters with this book. So, […]

Um, when they say ‘hanging blister card,’ I’m pretty sure this is a bit too loosely of an interpretation … Hang on loosely? In case you wonder why we’ll soon be awash in NO LICENSE FRED … Mattel didn’t realize when they told the factory, we want a 15% reduction in glue costs, they didn’t […]

Yet another example of detailed artistry and craftsmanship for a “throwaway” character. Dustin Mellows drives across a screen in about 36 frames – his entire length of time on screen and yet, here, astounding details down to the tiniest creases and nubs. Everything from its proportions to its multi color striping to its grill. Consciously […]
