It seems likely he’s a 2-pack Movie Moment Crew Chief pack with Shu … And hopefully we’ll get a lot of repaints of the great Nissan/Datsun Z car.  

If you look closely at the “official” photo of Silver Metallic Lightning McQueen on Kmart’s website, you’ll notice it’s DIFFERENT from the final release – the one in the case is essentially the exact same CARS 1 Lightning McQueen with the Rusteze logo on the back spoiler we all know and love, the only exception […]

MagCloud publishes our magazine checklists on demand is having another one of the “secret sales,” They have them every so often but “forget” to tell anyone even I signed up for their emails. So, you basically have until tonight (I think their HQ’s are on the west coast so it should be midnight PST but […]

If you mailed away your cardbacks, receipt and payment to Mattel’s East Aurora address, you should have already received or are getting the Deluxe CARS mailed out (a little early than listed). Thanks for the great photos, Rob (My 6 Kids). Muggsy is HUGE. He is the Andre the Giant of Pitty’s. Muggsy Liftsome and […]

Lightning McQueen is actually not a common release in 2013 so it’s a nice opportunity for newbies to get the original along with Fred. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.”   This is from the scene in CARS 1 where McQueen tries to hide behind a sign of himself – he’s no super genius. […]

“Lane Change” spotted the new cards on the shelf at his Walmart – well, just two Raoule Caroule’s. In looking over the listed first case of “2014,” while the “new” is not exactly too new, I could see a completist wanting the new cards but leaving Raoule behind? If the listing is correct, there’s only […]

Well, a mysterious listing might portend a Kmart CARS Day #11? It’s a Deluxe – oversized case assortment listed as a Kmart Exclusive. So, is it like the May 2013 non-event where if you buy a certain dollar amount of CARS – with some new deluxe exclusive-first to market releases as an enticement – you […]

The new Metallic Frosty (Mark Winterbottom) single has arrived in Australia. “Jeaks” sends along some great photos. The MAIN difference is he is NOT a SUPER CHASE nor a CHASE. He is a REGULAR release and not limited – and can be re-released. Will we get a US release? It seems likely but it’s impossible […]

Since the Tuners with Flames has gone over so well, Mattel decided to ignite ’em all … Well, maybe not all but we are definitely getting Nigel Gearsley with Flame and Carla Veloso with Flames in 2014 …. Will the others get the IT BURNS addition? El Fuego Miguel. Shu 燃えて. Shu on Fire. Will […]

“spamusubi” had an interesting thing occur at his Kmart during the Kmart CARS Day (last week) … “One case of the ten opened at the Kmart near me had a metallic Frosty in it. Labeling and packaging was specific for this card, wasn’t a packaging error. It had the “metallic deco” indicator (it was silver) […]
