While we have a nice Disney Store Muir the Train, there is one coming from Mattel and it’s super nice looking! It even comes with a passenger train … AND it’s not just a display piece but a storage/carrying case where CARS can actually ride inside! Now available at Amazon.

It looks like the various RACE DAY FAN 4-CAR GIFT PACKS are being clearanced … Thanks for the heads up & photo, “Damian V.” “Damian V.” also notes if you’re part of the Target Cartwheel app/deal – you can get another 20% or $2 off – so $7.99 for a 4-pack is not a bad […]

A large oversized Blade Ranger for younger kids … “With his special hook he helps his fellow smokejumpers Blackout, Avalanche and Drip escape from danger. Press the button on Blade Ranger’s side to spin his rotors and release his rescue hook down towards the ground. Then, position the hook so that it latches onto a […]

Two new PLANES FIRE & RESCUE playsets are coming next. Air Attack Training Playset (Plastic Patch, the Pitty) “The Air Attack Training Playset features an elevator lift, water droplets and a rotating arm atop the control tower to fly planes.” Wildfire Rescue Playset “The Wildfire Rescue Playset features a landing platform, flames that transform into […]

Something new, an all-plastic 1:55 release (not diecast metal) in a box called Race to the Rescue Play Pack. Looks cute. The log actually seems like the best thing – it splits open and the flames protrude. The plastic Maru hooks up the wagon but neither of the diecast releases of Maru work with this […]

The “Propwash Junction Airport” playset has been repacked with Pitty’s, more runway and tents … and now called the Deluxe Pit Row Playset. So you lose plastic Leadbottom but you gain three more plastic Pitty’s and you still get plastic Dusty & Skipper. I thought the photo of Leadbottom meant you got him in the […]

This box set is a few dollars short and a year too late. So, if you just starting to collecting Planes, this is a decent set … for everyone else, not so much. Thanks for the photo, “John H.”

Overheard when I was Target as two clerks they were going through and creating CLEARANCE labels and inventory … How many of these? 97. 97?! So, while there are PLANES 2 Micro Drifters listed, it would not be surprising if they did not make it to retail much like a lot of other products. There […]

You can download a free 2013 Mattel Diecast Disney PLANES diecast poster here … it’s not very complete … Be sure to check out the commercial … yea, that guided rail playset would be a lot more fun if you too had a mini granite wall that looks like Yosemite as part of your setup. […]

They’re not giving up on the Riplash – at least if it can send these PLANES aloft, that’s a upgrade. There is also a playset with a Riplash smoke jumper Pitty.
