Okay, here’s what we do know. In 2011 and 2012, there were a series of CARS racers released in metallic paint – all as exclusives in some manner. For Kmart CARS Day #8 and #9, 10 of the 11 Piston Cup Racers were released as Silver Metallic diecast CARS (except for Rip Clutchgoneski). At TRU, […]

Coming soon to a retail store near you – probably around the time the PLANES DVD is coming out? Probably November? Comes with 48 PLANES and 12 CARS. Presumably it will be more than just Dusty & McQueen but you never know. 🙂

Walmart.com has the Pit Crew launchers – 2013 version – which have not appeared at many retail stores. Remember, these come with ONE diecast (the racer). The Pitty is plastic and attached to the launcher. Walmart does not list the 4th one – Vitoline. These three, Lightning McQueen, Raoule Caroule and Leak Less (along with […]

This post has been UPDATED to reflect the FINAL CASE P – HERE. I’ll leave this up just for reference. While we don’t have definitive proof yet that the oddball case posted last week is the Kmart Case (see this post) for 2013, this listing for CASE P might clinch it. One clue is the […]

Looks like there will be one more Deluxe case to close out the remaining Deluxe CARS … A great deluxe case would be 2 Dracula Maters, 2 Waiter Mater and 1 of each of the other 2. There are only 6 CARS in each Deluxe sealed case. But there is the possibility there are are […]

With remnants of CASE H, and a random mix of CASE N, M, R and possibly Q out there – how can you tell what’s on your store shelves, what you missed out on or what probably has NOT arrived at that store’s pegs … Here’s a handy chart. Obviously if you spot Super Chases […]

CASE CONTENTS REVISED – New Case assortment HERE! When several cases were “canceled” and things shuffled around – they did create ONE Super Nice Double Chase Case – N (read about it here) which essentially combined elements of J, K, L & N so they had parts left over which now goes into the “Franken” […]

If you missed out on Barry Diesel in 2011, Children’s Toy Closet was able to uncover some in a warehouse … More photos in this post. He’s a BIG BOY – next to the Convoy Brothers … He’s the Andre the Giant of CARS … though he weighs the same as Convoy Brothers G-Man (Barry’s […]
