And flips over … This is the “Disney•Pixar’s Cars Micro Drifters™ Fast-Flip Raceway” track set With a press of a button the action is started, launching vehicles around Willy”s Butte, where they can race, drift and swarm – just like in the movies.

The new Walmart Endcap “reset” is not exactly an Earth Shattering, Get in the Car Now, Run to WM showcase of CARS … Not the most attractive configuration plus re-using the clearance sign doesn’t help. “Lane Change” sends along a better pic – looks like his WM got a mix of B & C – […]

While we have seen the diecasts of the Big 4 PLANES, the rest were a mystery.

Worlds have collided…get a taste of what Disney is launching this summer: Wow…a part of me is like ‘whoa…’ and another is like ‘oh….’. What do you guys think?

Toons are definitely returning … Only problem is so far, they are coming back only in 3-packs and as a Walmart exclusive. We also don’t know what’s in the 3-packs. There are 4 3-packs listed (no breakdown of contents) … in a perfect world, they would be 3-packs for the missing shorts: El Materdor Private […]

Larger photos of the PLANES diecasts were in the earlier post today – along with a story recap. While the PLANES are available as singles – they are also available in a PLANES Gift Set which are pretty nice with a Pitty and a Hanger “tent.” Dusty #7 (the main character) Bulldog #11, the British […]
