Coming in July to San Diego Comic Con 2009 … The try me-light up display … if you press the button through the hole, FLAME ON! … well, LED’s  🙂 $30 – first available at the show and then on MattyCollector.com – yea, for reals 🙂 The limit was supposed to be 4 but might […]

Fiddlehead of Maine has graciously and generously donated the very hard to find item only available at Disney Resorts in Orlando, Anaheim & Paris! The new Mini Adventures playmat of DisneyWorld and with two exclusive MINI CARS – Mickey McQueen and Minnie Sally! Contest rules are very simple. Tell us your favorite Disneyland-World-Paris story involving […]

Every once in a while, I put down my juice box, take off my Guido afro and put on some pants … It’s time to help put America back to work! Well, okay, I’m not directly helping you. I’m busy studying the bumpers on the Supercharged series CARS. But a friend of TakeFive will give […]

Should land next Tuesday/Wednesday to resellers who Direct Imported them … If you’re still looking for Leak Less, Jerry Recycled or Octane Gain, Amazon has them back on their direct ship list.

In the SF Bay Area, pricing from the singles range from $2.97 to $3.59 but seem to be pre-emptively creeping up as wholesale costs have gone up for the new lenticular cases … $3.47 as Josh sends in from Oregon … Chuki Mama’s Target is now at $3.49 … though Movie Moments are now $6.99 […]

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 […]
