This is a first, it’s pretty rare to find parts of a line at consolidators/discounters BEFORE the film opens … “John H.” found this at Marshall’s a few days ago … I think Turbo opens today. Good luck!

Sorry to miss the festivities this year – of course, nothing specific with CARS. So, if you’re going or already there, send us some pics or links! Have fun at the greatest show on Earth! Remember when?
