Jestrjef spotted this at his local Walmart – what does it mean? Yes, this is part of the Final Lap card design which is NOT supposed to be available at Walmart. Is a sign just a sign or a sign of what’s coming? It could mean nothing or it could mean something. Because this was […]

Arriving faster than expected, Team Hauler Leak Less: A new motif has been added – WOC: Piston Cup Nights.

Well, Walmart talks big about what’s coming but will they deliver to YOUR STORE? Apparently, later this week, WM will get some Mater Tall Tales – megasize CARS … again, unlike the days of yore (11 months ago) when virtually all WM’s would get a base amount of CARS (or other toys merchandise) so you […]
