Well, it’s not much of a secret as it got leaked from that eBay auction … It’s “Impound Lightning McQueen.” But look for it CASE ASSORTMENT A – no actual date of release but I’m guessing like last year, we should see A, B and maybe even C before Gregorian calendar year’s end (or in […]

I know, Toys R Us sometimes feels like a CARS nether region but this one is really in the Netherlands … the TRU’s there (all three) are participating. “Next weekend there will be a Cars event at 3 Toys R Us stores. There will be Mack, Sally & McQueen in real life size and more […]

BTW, we have added an EVENTS CALENDAR to the bottom right (not to be confused with out POSTS CALENDAR) … so you can keep a calendar view of what’s going in CARS world … with of course, Kmart CARS Collector Day, the Mattel CAAF Dream Halloween Auction and the WM Endcap … making us and […]

VERSION 1.1 – September 24, 2008 In case you or your financial adviser hadn’t heard, there are going to release a literal boatload of CARS in the next three months. So plan ahead as you don’t want your CARS to fall down and crush you … and sure, any guy with a keyboard can give […]

From the Detroit HW Collector’s Club event … where our friend, Traver from Children’s Toy Closet attended, here’s the report from Shanon … “I went to the sad little Hot Wheel Collectors Day..it was held at a flea market but there were 20 vendors. Traver was the only one selling CARS, and he was selling […]

And now, for something completely different … Yes, it was all so simple then …
