With the recent arrival of Micro Drifter Rip Clutchgoneski and these Micro Drifters … … of Carla Velsos and Lewis Hamilton, like it’s large diecast brethren, all the WGP racers have been released. You’ll also notice the Micro Drifters logo loses Francesco & Lightning as part of the design as Micro Drifters will soon add […]

A few days we created a family tree for the CARS diecast Universe + CARS diecast Expanded Universe. Most you knew or were already out or about to come out (Planes) but there was a mysterious one hinted at by Disney called “Rescue.” It looks like Disney gave the go ahead to Tomica (in Japan) […]

It looks interesting – though it only works with the Stunt Racers … Crank it up – Convert your potential energy to Kinetic energy the CARS … The press the red button to release the kinetic energy! CARS will zoom around the track in a dizzying array of multiple directions! Diecast CARS can watch as […]

John H. spotted the Easter Micro Drifters at his local supermarket a few months back … the CARS were re-releases, the packaging was new … interesting packaging but a little spendy at $4.49 to $4.99 for 2 Micro Drifters. And now, the followup – no shocker, the floor bin/dump looks pretty pristine … and a […]

They have arrived in Australia and it looks like they ship from Mattel’s warehouse by next week! These Pit Row Launchers were listed a while back but they were just a text listing with no real details. Other than Rip Clutchgoneski, getting re-releases of Pit Row Launchers did not seem too enticing and now, at […]

Looks like the “pullbacks” series has arrived at Kohl’s. I’m going to out on a limb and say a $9.99 plastic pullback of Finn McMissile will not sweep the retail nation. Though clever to add the LIMITED QUANTITY sticker – it is not a lie. There was no room for this sticker … It is […]

To go with the Fast Flip carrying case (from a few days ago), there is also the Fast Flip Raceway (featured already but now with more photos and a new feature). And flips over … Press the big red button to shoot the Micro Drifters up the track … Round & round she goes, nobody […]

It’s been nice to get re-releases from CARS 1 in the new series, many have been unavailable for a while or in the case of Final Lap CARS, hard to find to begin with … what’s nicer is that many of the re-releases have been “upgraded” to unibody all-metal diecast or higher quality production ones. […]
