“John H.” has gathered up all his Ramone’s – looks pretty complete … no classic eye Green Ramone? 🙂 Two Purple Ramone’s? (besides lenticular & hydraulic?) There are some more Ramone hood versions we need …

Interesting feature in BusinessWeek: Mattel’s Mom Issue: They Really Don’t Get Hot Wheels “In town for a toy fair, Matt Petersen, a Mattel vice president … had invited the women to discuss one of the great mysteries of modern life: why moms don’t know how to play Hot Wheels with their sons.” Besides reaching out […]

Well, if we can’t get retailers to buy two Micro Drifter playsets, put them together in one 2-pack – double the “fun” at 85% of the price! So, you do save a little if you’re interested in these two playsets, you get three “free” Micro Drifters (yes, you get 5 Micro Drifters but you normally […]

“John H.” founds these at Ralph’s (the supermarket). The egg shaped “try me” for rolling the Micro Drifter around is a nice touch … and I like the Easter bunny in the corner making it official. They’re not any cheaper per CAR than buying them in a 3-pack and these have all been released. So, […]

The metallic Micro Drifter 8-pack is out … This was at a TRU – no exclusive sticker but like most CARS items, hard to tell if another retailer will buy it. It’s nice and it’s cute but spendy for 8 micro CARS – $21.99 … While it says 8 exclusive CARS, Mater looks like other […]

The Stunt Racer “Crank Launcher” with Stunt Racer Lightning McQueen (plastic). Interesting it’s sniped as “Kid-Powered.” 🙂 The other interesting snippet is it says “For Use with CARS Stunt Racers Only.” Is that a lie? Is it just to get you to pony up for the rest of the rest of the plastic Stunt Racer […]

The latest “Stunt Racer,” transporter is out – Andre, Raoul Caroule’s race hauler transporter. Thanks for the great pics, “John H!” It is nice that it seems to work with your Raoul diecast. And parked, it looks like a nice accompaniment/accessory. But I find the lack of details disturbing … I’m still leaning towards not […]

“John H.” understands the proper way to play with Micro Drifters – giant fistful’s of them … Shakopee has nothing on Radiator Springs Crazy Days – maybe they need a second hotel. Or LA traffic 3 AM on a Wednesday night. Particularly realistic are the random CARS going sideway, just like the real freeways in […]

Looks like the countdown clock has begun … Not a huge discount on the 3-packs but $3 less per pack than at TRU. $12.99 each for Colossus and the Space Shuttle.
