Of course, the final verdict won’t be in until the film actually comes out for a real comparison of scale, scope and size comparison in their scenes … But “John H.” sends along some great pics to begin to weigh the evidence … You can find earlier coverage on the scale of PLANES HERE & […]

So far in the stores that have received PLANES products like TRU below, the diecasts seem to be selling well. The two closest Targets only have a scattering of product but the movie is still 5 weeks away. The playsets don’t seem to have much action – has anyone bought and tested out the playsets?

It’s been nearly a week so why not a change in plans? :-/ It looks like now the PLANES PIT ROW GIFT SETS are available everywhere – not Walmart exclusives. The updated listing no longer says anything about Walmart Exclusive. In fact, “Danrio” has already found the Ripslinger Gift Set at Target … Interesting that […]

Looks like the next three Planes Gift Sets with Pitty (and Tent) are Walmart Exclusives: Ripslinger … one of the first 4 PLANES Gift Sets revealed but now we know it’s a Walmart exclusive. Of course, Walmart also thinks this is Bulldog. Ishani gets a Gift Set & Pitty – the Pitty even has a […]

“Lane Change” spots them out at Target … These are the only two box sets listed so unless a surprise pops up at WM or TRU, these are it (there are no 7-packs listed). These are the only two box sets for now – there are two more scheduled for later in the year at […]

“Mariela P.” spotted these at TRU. I believe this is the way they first delivered air mail, they would fly over and toss the bag from the bi-plane … so as a tribute to aviation days of yore – lumpy style! I might ask for a discount. So, this looks like the first case assortment, […]

“Sergio” has found a photo of the real life Dusty. A painted Cessna 188. As you can see, they definitely shortened him … I think animation design-wise, they make him more of an underdog by making him seem smaller/shorter … diecast wise, it’s a bonus as they save on weight and materials. Thanks for the […]

The first 4 announced cases for PLANES (12 to a case) certainly seems odd – why the strange lettering pattern – jumping from A to L, M & N. CASE A is easy – it is available to all authorized resellers (ChildrensToyCloset either just got the case or it’s on it way from the warehouse). […]

“Anthony C.” sends along photos of the PLANES PIT ROW GIFT SETS (They seem to called Pit Row Gift Packs in international markets). You get a diecast PLANE, a diecast Pitty and a plastic hanger tent (with a mini flag). Anthony C. says Bulldog (the PLANE) is diecast metal (well parts of him are metal […]
