Yesterday, we listed the CARS 1 diecast CARS returning to Toys R Us this Christmas. It looks like Flo’s V8 Cafe might make it back to Toys R Us as an exclusive? There is a listing called Flo’s for $35 … which sounds about right adjusted for inflation … Again, don’t bet the farm or […]

Can something not be a surprise but a shock? CARS 1 CARS are coming back … at least on paper. Yes, it’s a strange list of singles but would you expect any different? Look, digest and read the rest after the photo checklist … A strange selection of first comeback releases. The big 4 are […]

These look like the first 3-packs to be released … Lightning, Spare Mint (not Spare O Mint to the late comers) and Octane Gain.* Professor Z, Grem & Finn McMissile Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks and Clutch Aid Plus these 3-packs: Gold Lightning McQueen, Holley & Acer Nigel Gearsley, Jeff Gorvette & Francesco Bernoulli Lightning McQueen, […]

Hark, what is that pitter patter sound on the roof? Well, if you can hold out until Christmas, the REINDEER are actually coming this year. It’s listed as a single (UPC 7-46775-06874-5) … if it doesn’t come out in a box set, it might be a little tough to assemble an actual team of reindeer […]

Beautiful customs from Chris/CAC1959 but not available in stores … all customs. The 17 NOT RELEASED. You can see them all up close starting HERE. Thanks, Chris/CAC1959 BTW, these were the last 7 announced but NEVER RELEASED only Sputter Stop & Spare Mint got released … (plus Dale Earnhardt Jr. also announced but not released […]

“Sam B.” sent us larger photos of his Mini Adventures Speedway of the South custom … 100% great but it makes us a little sad we’ll never see the rest … And technically, Chick Hicks was never released in the US (in this form). Thanks, Sam B – looks great – as usual. Here’s a […]

Found this photo in an old folder that someone sent me … so I cannot tell if it’s a repack-return or legit but either way, it’s enough to make me cry like a little baby. Though at least the sign says Chick Hicks so someone might think Frank’s pic was just a generic shot … […]

“Sam B.” took his amazing CARS Land displays to the “Migennes Collector” event last week in France. You can check out more and the full size photos at his FLIKR page. And I’m not sure if this was his also but I guess he has several minutes of free time a day. 🙂 I have […]

“RoseM” has would up with a puzzler … It doesn’t look too abby-normal …”Fern Green” Lenticular Van (with stickers). But that mouth plate is definitely from Van San … and it’s definitely not Bright Green … so it’s not like someone just lifted the mouth plate from Van San and jammed it onto lenticular Van […]

Here’s a nice photo of the bottom of a Micro Drifter … Full lineup of releases here. Thanks, “FBR.”
