Uh oh, There’s no second sheet backup to the Buy 5-CARS Eagle’s-Nest Planogram when the holder gives way … fortunately no one will notice the flyers are on the ground if we drop some inventory there also? Though for a 2-year old, it is convenient. So, while the Mattel reps brought the flyers – they […]

I’m not collecting these as it’s not part of the 1:55 lineup but for those who are, there is a Radiator Springs McQueen, Dinoco Chick Hicks, a Dirt Track McQueen, Snot Rod, Ramone and a Tar McQueen coming – like the ones already out – Boost, Chick Hicks, & Lightning McQueen – they each do […]

Nearly since Day 1, people have asked when FRANK is coming … no, he’s not here yet and he’s not coming soon as a metal diecast.* Meanwhile, reader “Podso” was kind enough to forward a link of the MEGABLOKS Tipping Tractor set which actually includes a Frank that while not perfect to 1:55 scale is […]

Now that we have a couple hundred loose CARS, playsets and trailers coming – we really need something to carry it all around – and of course, we want wheels so it’s mobile … I think this 53″ Kobalt tool chest might fit the bill, I think the MSOS set might even fit in the […]

Thanks to “MJ” of Ohio who saw the flyer first, the website and promotion is real and active. “Buy five Disney/Pixar’s CARS character toys and we’ll send you a Sidewall Shine car!” (in a very nice display case BTW). Buy five CARS character toys at a participating Toys ‘R’ Us location from August 18, 2008, […]

You know, the longer you hold out, the harder you have to work to complete your MINI set … You’re still going to resist? And not buy the 16 MINIS to fit into the “Trev Carrying Case?” With rolling wheels! Trev in case you don’t remember is a 1949 EMD Trevithick Electro-Diesel Locomotive. (named for […]

While it was easy to be initially dismissive of the Pit Row Race Off (launchers) upon first release, in actuality once you opened it – it was quite nice.  Sturdy and works well. You can clip them together to form one race line. As pictured here, you get a CAR and its Pir Row setup […]

Sometimes it’s easy … … To tell if you are NOT about to find “Stickers McQueen” … Or really any other CAR released since Supercharged Boost. Okay, there are a couple Green Ramones but if you look real closely, they’re not just Boosts hanging on the front of the peg but each peg is about […]

With Movie Moments moving to Target, it looks like the 3-packs will absorb some of the CARS scheduled for Movie Moments. So while it won’t be exclusively racers, pit crew & crew chiefs going forward – it does still have a Piston Cup leaning … What hasn’t changed, Cases D, E, F & G. They […]

Thanks to everyone who entered our first Contest and has moved with us to our new site. Congrats to Christine C. – winner of Contest #1 and whose son is playing with the winning prize properly – open & with a smile 🙂 Well, it’s time for CONTEST #2 – and it’s a great one! […]
