If you want to take the Ramone quiz without the answers, go here first and then come back or if you can trust yourself without peeking, take the quiz! There is no prize other than the satisfaction that you know everything about Ramone but not much about John Hanson … it’s ok, you can blame […]

Here’s a checklist of the Wave 1 releases plus the listed Wave 2 (?) singles … (? as we’re not sure if the remaining 7 on the singles will ALL arrive together in the next wave).

It was listed for a while and then disappeared but I guess Matty and the Walmart Dude oiled up and wrassled naked for a while and Matty won! “John H.” among others spotted this today and sent along these photos – thanks everyone but especially thank John H. for cracking his open and doing the […]

CARS 1 has returned to Toys R Us and surprise, the King is the ORIGINAL K, the original King variant … Way back in 2006, the original King’s made in Mattel’s Thailand plant has an extra piece of metal at the front of the rear wheel-well clipped off. When production moved to China about the […]

Random sightings of CARS 1 diecasts have returned to Toys R Us. The new series is called “Radiator Springs Classic.” Cardback. The Master UPC is 7-46775-20865-3. Or Chick is: 7-46775-20875-2. Thanks for the great pics, “Mr. Mark T!” Here’s the single checklist. Besides the obvious three, it seems likely the other 5 singles on the […]

Well, what do you know, Micro Drifters might be an actual line now that it has shown up at Target. Walmart might still be a hold out but at least it’s at Target … “Sean R. AKA PicksOurCars” sends along great pics and his detailed comparison – that the packaging at Target & TRU are slightly […]

The Tractor Tippin’ is the first release under the post Final Lap “Radiator Springs Classic” motif. Only at TRU. It’s probably safe to presume the inside components are all the same – you can read this post here on the original release. You also get some plastic Tractors. Our frank Frank Buying Guide is HERE […]

More great pics from, “Kevin NascarBronco.” Mattel is definitely going out on establishing the Micro Drifters are the secondary line to the 1:55 … there is one problem as other than TRU, I’m not sure Target or Walmart is even carrying these? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone with differing results? Micro Drifters are scooped up so they […]

CARS 1 CARS return to store shelves this holiday season – well, just Toys R Us store shelves – in additional to singles, this is the 10-pack. It does not have an actual name yet but presumably it will be something to effect of “The Speedway Race 10-Pack.” If you’re a long time collector, you […]
