There are a few PLANES left over from Planes – will they get a release? Normally, it would be tough but in this case, we are still getting shipments on Planes cards, not on Planes F&R cards – there seems to be no huge hurry to clear the shelves of PLANES stock … of course, […]

“Rob (My 7 Kids)” sends along nice photos of CARS & PLANES at the Mattel booth. There’s INTERVIEW FRANCESCO – clear some room! And a nice 2-pack of Allinol Chemists, Jessica Giampetrol & Nate Stanchion Coming soon – Alfredo the Ambulance. It looks like they replicated the poster in 3D diecast form. BTW, the Holley […]

Pinecone is out as a single. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.”   Part of the ginormous Smoke Jumper collection … Dynamite is the 5th Smoke Jumper Pitty, not available as a single yet. It looks like the Disney Store Ryker is the right size. The checklist & buying guide of every config either […]

Now after seeing the complete Planes Fire & Rescue movie, it looks like the largest Smoke Jumper, Avalanche or Pinecone should be about the size of Sarge … Of course, the Mattel F&R Pitty’s are ginormous. Presumably, part of it was to simplify the line – instead of a singles, deluxe (for Cad Spinner, Mayday) […]

The 8-pack comes in the new favored box style. The new “giant” packs seem to be available online only – the earlier Planes one at Walmart.com – this one is available at Amazon for $54.99. Nothing really new, but if you want to save time and a little money. They seem to be priced at […]

TRU has a nice week one double-bonus Planes Fire & Rescue ticket discount and gift card with $30 purchase … Buy $30 worth of CARS or PLANES, PLANES FIRE & RESCUE product, get not only a free movie ticket (up to $8.50 value – in CA, that’s about 1/3 of a 3D ticket) but also […]

Looks like Mattel & Disney paid for the full Toys R Us Curtain-Wall of Planes F&R Marketing Castle. Thanks for the heads up & photos, “RRichie09.” BUY BUY BUY or we will pour boiling oil on you! The Dusty Homecoming 6-pack … is Supercharged Dusty a slight variant? I think the previous ones did not […]

The large sized lights & sounds Smoke Jumpers are out – and there’s a variant! Thanks, “Wraukn” for the nice photos. He also notes that they changed the snipe from the less parental-scary “Moving Blade” to “Moving Shovel.”   The back also changes slightly. Thanks “Wraukn” for the heads up & photo.

While all of the first wave of 18 Planes F&R diecast releases are available in nearly every configuration (see buying guide & checklist here), there seems to be ONE new release listed only available in one of the 6-packs … it looks like it might be “Sparky” – well, Sparky with Trophy. I’m not positive […]

There are 22 listed character diecasts for Planes Fire & Rescue in this first wave (wave #2 & others listed but only in a generic form so far). There are 4 repeat releases from Planes (Supercharged Dusty, Leadbottom, Skipper & Dottie) – the 18 “new” releases seem to be available in EVERY configuration possible. The […]
