This list does not include non-racers. It’s hard to get an exact count as some more obscure racers might only appear in an international version of PLANES and it’s unknown just how many different versions there are – so until the Blu Ray comes out, it’s hard to tell if #9 Joey Dundee only appears […]

The sales of Radiator Springs Classics seem to have slowed down quite a bit. This is the first case assortment that did not just fly off the shelf – and after about 3 weeks, most still seem to be on the shelf. But it’s still nice – for newbies and kids, it’s a chance to […]

The Disney Store Franz is pretty impressive, all metal AND it fold/detaches into a “flying car” that Franz is in the film PLANES. He is a flying CAR that you can also convert to driving mode! The Mattel one however seems pretty static … Maybe this is just an early shot of it in packaging […]

The plastic ‘struts” are also thicker & with an extra […]

Looks like CASE C of PLANES has arrived (for stores still stocking singles). Thanks for the heads up & photo “Snosno.” 86 LJH Special What the Disney Store called Navy Dusty, Mattel calls Jolly Wrenches Dusty Crophopper. There are 2 of each as the “NEW” PLANES released, the rest of the case is a re-release […]

The 3 PLANES Target 4-pack box sets have been a big hit and the 4th one with the Navy jets should be a blazing seller. So, two more box sets have been added. No names and no listings of what’s in the sets. We can cross our fingers and hope there are not many or […]
