Nothing really new not out as singles and priced like buying 3 singles … So, the different 3-packs are only available at different retailers? Walmart ones.

  Thanks for the great pics of the super-nice Mattel Ryker. Unexpectedly, Mattel went all out on Ryker and he’s ginormous as he should be and as John H. notes, the size Emmanuel the Bus shoud’ve been … Compared to Disney store Ryker, he is the Ryker-iest! A great surprise, Mattel out does the Disney […]

Since the new oversized deluxe come with a moving feature – do Lil’ Dipper or Dipper … wheels fold in?   “Blazin” Blade Ranger – presumably the same working feature of an open door and hook? (This is Blade Ranger as “CHoPs” helicopter cop – essentially a repaint with tinted glasses and helmet).

The Disney Store diecast metal Smokejumpers have finally been released so now we have all the major contenders checking in and frankly, no one has done all 5 (6 counting Maru) correctly so basically, you can mix and match or just go with one line. Tomy from Japan are mostly right sized but their Dynamite […]

At first, this looked like a fantastic set too good to be true … sadly I think it’s too good to be true … all the evidence points to this NOT as diecast metal. If you look closely, Dusty just has too many seams, clearly no real reason to create a new diecast body just […]

“John H.” gives us a heads up that Ryker is available at Amazon. It’s hard to tell how large Mattel’s is – here’s what Disney’s version looks like which seems to a good size. More pics here. It does have a moving arm. At Amazon, it’s not cheap at $11.99 but it does come with […]

In a nice change of pace, the PLANES F&R Control Tower Playset looks canon, in scale AND it’s reasonably priced! While the Pitty is presumably plastic – it’s still nice. His Her name is PATCH! There is actually a Maru hanger playset coming, no photos yet but hopefully if it looks like the forthcoming Dottie […]

There’s a fire starting in your wallet! The Fire at Fusel Lodge Playset/trackset. You launch Dusty or another PLANE (I presume the PLANES from Planes has the same hex slot underneath to whip around the track. And you get to yell FIRE IN THE HOLE!

The 7-Pack Planes Fire & Rescue Box set has arrived – a Target exclusive called WELCOME TO PISTON PEAK. It contains the two remaining Smoke Jumpers not yet out as singles (or at least not readily available throughout the country). Thanks for the nice pics, “John H.” “Momoe” sends us a new CARS find at […]

Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.” The Rescue Gift Pack The Piston Peak Gift Pack These are not technically an exclusive but may only be available at one retailer since the diecasts are all the same but perhaps packaged differently at each retailer. Thanks, “John H!”
