The 2-packs are back and hopefully on your store pegs. Some are carry-overs from 2021 but they were nigh impossible to find. 🙁 Doc Hudson is the Thai version (not vastly different but a new mold). Cruisin’ Lightning McQueen (from the Welcome to Radiator Springs line first) is the Thai version, more metallic and with […]

The 1st Deluxe CARS are out for 2022 … Craig Faster, 1st release with eyelid lines. Marco looks pretty much the same though not available for years so a nice chance for people to collect him … if someone has their last Marco release handy, same size, this one looks larger?? Miss Fritter 2022 has […]

The Singles Case DXV-95BE has arguably the 1st First New CAR of 2022 … So, far, 2022 has been a year of retail restocking with a handful of releases that have the new eyelid line but otherwise, repeats from the past few years … However, “Ramone Green” is an interesting release that you decide if […]

The 2022 Singles Case DXV-95BD … a few first timers with the eyelid line, Timothy Twostroke & Otis (Otis is a bigger variant besides just the eyelid line). First time Andy Vaperlock has the eyelid line. Not the 1st release with eyelid line but nice to see them back … And more common, though the […]

This one is not scheduled until October 18, 2022 – it might change but it may be the books out for Christmas … Road Trip! Magnet Picture book is for kids … but ore CARS revealed. Circus CAR addition … And another pic of “Jet Engine Mater.” 4×4 pickup truck, a clown car based on […]

Thanks, “Carl P.” for the heads up. The CARS on the Road Picture Book is scheduled for August 2nd (Tuesday) so it seems likely the TV series on Disney+ will start airing in late July? Maybe the Wednesday the week before as most Disney shows seem to premiere (July 27th). Available for pre-order at Amazon […]

So far in 2022, we have not had a lot of new releases unless you count new variants with the eyelid line but the plan seems to be: a) restock from 2021 when many/most retail stores did not get much stock. b) building up the base for new kids coming onboard when the new CARS […]

Thanks, “Samuel K.” for the photos and heads up. The Rocker Arms Int’l Raceway 5-pack is back and re-configured. So, now the box sets are made in Thailand (along with the singles) so no more variant eye positions??  Here are the last 2 releases. This set features the 1st eyelid line version of Todd Marcus […]

Here is the CARS Piston Cup racers by sponsor and number updated with the racer names/releases through 2021. We don’t have any new 2022 Piston Cup releases yet but there are some mysterious names on a list so we might get the CARS 3 racers all filled out by 2022? (you can right click for […]

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the nice photos! Otis (from CARS 2) returns with so much different, it’s a new version. The 2022 version is on the left and the white wax paint splotches are more canon and accurate to the movie character. But one big difference is the light tan roof becomes a darker tan […]
