When the Q was first announced, it had all the looks of a weak franken case and a few were shipped out with this assortment. Other than the new Luigi & Guido with Glasses, everything else was with CARS already available elsewhere or soon to be available plus a lot of CARS that seem to […]

The last of the 4 Toon Box Set “re-releases,” also has a unibody upgrade. So, while Daredevil Lightning McQueen (with Buck Teeth) along with Big Fan & Lug are all re-releases, they have never been released in a 3-pack before – so the packaging format is all new. In addition, Daredevil Lightning McQueen with Buck […]

As “BMW” has chimed in and “Quercy” sends along a photo of the new 2014 cards … As you can tell, it’s essentially the 2013 cards – carrying over the same “themes” motif (changing out the background to a different speedway screenshot), and bringing back the World of CARS banner – so I guess we […]

As the toy years wind to a close – the CARS factory cases has gotten pretty weird, some great, some pretty good and some now we’re not quite sure what is accurate … (still investigating!) … but the T case is the weirdest of them all. I double checked, it is definitely the “T Case.” […]

It looks like there might be one final Deluxe Case after Case G? While Case G was pretty good with 2 Dracula Mater and 2 Waiter Mater (out of 6). CASE P is a basic case for retail … One of everything so the shelf looks interesting enough. That’s Ivan Mater, not Ivan in case […]

TRU seems to have gotten a new case of Radiator Springs Classic but sales seems to have slowed down quite a bit. Was this a one-shot deal to see how sales might go? Will there be more next year? The 3-pack box sets seem to have sold okay but not not very rapidly. The 10-pack […]

Every once in a while, there’s a 2-pack/Movie Moment Case where it might be easier just to buy the case. CASE E The weakest “2-pack” in this case is probably Lightning with Rust-eze Sign & Fred though some collectors might not have seen Fred in a while and of course, the sign is new. Doug […]

If you’re lucky, there is an unprecedented amount of CARS diecast singles floating around – retailers are still receiving/moving from distribution and opening cases H, M, N, P, Q & R cases which contain CHASES, SUPER CHASES and beloved sought after releases. It is or can be a bounty of CARS …I don’t believe there […]

“John H.” sends along great pics of the Walmart Tokyo Mater Box Set which contains two variants, one of which is actually a brand new release. It was easy to lose track of all the variants and versions of Tokyo Mater especially since this version was shown off many times but after all was said […]

There are 4 diecasts available to purchase at my Target … this Francesco & Sarge escaped the clutches of the CARS aisle (with PLANES in the small kids aisle) but alas, only made it as far as the Hot Wheels/”boys” aisle a few aisles over … No, I will not buy you those, put them […]
