eBay Canada is closing up their customer service department in Canada (please make your own joke here). “While it is a difficult decision to close our Vancouver facility, we believe that consolidating our North America customer service operations will help accelerate our efforts to continually exceed buyer and seller expectations,” said Chad O’Meara, vice-president of […]

The new card design. It’s actually a very nice looking card – a nice change of pace and looks classy. Again, I have nothing against the lenticulars either in principle or for CARS, I just think it’s risky on many levels, including financial to roll up one line in the middle with no concrete plans […]

Mattel is NOT discontinuing the 1:55 series single CARS. Canceling CASE J is nothing new. Other than 2006, I do not believe they have gone more than 6 months without canceling a case here or there. Some of that is when there is a change in the group of people who make case assortment decisions, […]

Josh F. sends us this pic from Oregon … Humm, not much chasing on the Chase CAR … And did the price increase already hit? Though no sales tax in Oregon …

Some photos of CARS on the shelf … Alas, they are not Tar McQueen, Bug Mouth McQueen, or even Radiator Springs McQueen … Sure, pluck these off the shelf … these are like pegwarmers 🙂 Amazing detailing … for those quibble there’s too much “dirt” on the camper shell … yea, that’s the reason to […]

I could swear this is missing something … What was it? What was it … I know it’s on the tip of my tongue … From Collector_Mom who ordered the 7-foot Gleek … (just kidding! 🙂 ) from Matty and this little flyer ad is very telling in what’s not even considered part of Matty […]

H is the end … The current H Singles Mainline Case is the last one for Series M1054-999 … for 2009 … for non-exclusive non-lenticular CARS. So, the bad news is Vitoline Pitty and Mini will not be available until Kmart CARS Day 2 on June 20, 2009 … and no extra Todd, Pizza Planet […]

Yes, the Launcher CASE that Mattel skipped is shipping this week though some cases have already arrived at some Target stores … Jason T. was kind enough to send along photos of his hunt earlier – from Target – oddly, he found an international carded one mixed in … Thanks Jason T. – enjoy being […]

And the close out our day of hinckey, some serious bonafide hinckey … these could not be more fake if they were stamped with the words FAAAKKKEEE!!!!!!!! Pics supplied by “Leofti,” doesn’t look so bad until you actually look at it and it’s mostly in English but it’s totally true what they say, “Blue is […]

Yes, some of these photos are of a dubious origins – hinckey is the theme today … 🙂 Not of dubious photo origins – you know what the San Diego Comic Con Red Ransburg Rescue Squad Mater will look like … Here is what the “normal” Megasize Rescue Squad Mater will look like … (looks […]
