The recent UK promo is still ongoing but they have started shipping CARS and as revealed a few days ago, it’s the boxed Sidewall Shine from the US promo early last year. Paul B. sends us some nice unboxing pics (he ordered more than 1) 🙂 Of course, Richard Clayton Security SUV has to stop […]

The Wally Hauler is back with the new “Final Lap” motif background … Otherwise, seems to be the same? Thanks Heather-Fiddleheads for pic!

I’ve always liked shopping at Target. All the lights are on, the shelves are orderly and best of all, they welcome you to check their inventory … when you are in the store … To check inventory, just start keying in the 9 digit DPCI numbers on the right and then hit ENTER. Remember to […]

For many – the signs of Christmas are unmistakable. Snow starts to fall. The air turns crisp. Your electricity bill goes into 4-digits. That guy down the street takes his annual bath … You build a snowman that looks like the Padre from El Materdor and he asks if you’re married. And you say – […]

The big sale news this week is the Kmart sale … Buy 2 Get 1 Free for any CARS merchandise … But there are about 20 stores in which the sale & sales prices DO NOT APPLY … So, in case you wonder why your particular store has no signs up. And Walmart news … […]

Toys R Us is adding toys to many babies R Us locations as well as opening standalone “temp” stores in malls around the country though this final list sees pretty confined to just a bunch of states … though I’m guessing the number of Puerto Rico stores is suddenly much higher? Irvine Spectrum Center 95 […]

Guess we might as well camp out at Target 🙂 The Storyteller cousins & showstopper (girls) have arrived at some stores … Thanks for the pics, Nikko. These are a little harder to find as they have THE SAME DPCI numbers as the ones from last year (Sponsorless McQueen, Retro Ramone, etc … 087071794) so […]

The Christmas CARS Checklist requires a slight revision and perhaps the picture is a little clearer on the two different cards. Target is DEFINITELY getting the Storyteller design cards with the velcro flap (much like the original Storyteller cards). Thanks for the great photos, Moe … and it comes 12 to a carton, 4 “Hotshot” […]

Unlike last time, the Kmart.com cases seem to mostly okay. I have not heard of too many problems and the cases I have opened all look okay. But Angie &Kevin F. win the contest for the weirdest case MAYBE EVER … (they are in the US). All of the cars were on tri-logo European packaging. […]

Yes, it’s a lenticular world and you don’t collect it, it collects you … Ta-da! Eric L. found this today at Target! Interestingly enough, it has the same DPCI as the other 4-pack racers 087-07-1832 though the name is different. The non-lenticular 4-pack racers are called Speedway 4-packs but as they have the same DPCI […]
