Not very easy to find in the US are the Bandai Gashapon Capsule CARS … (in the US, we tend to have the Tomy TYC ones …) “Gashapon” is the overall Japanese word to describe these ‘capsules.’ I think it’s a direct translation of the sound the capsules make as they rotate out of the […]

Cross another off the list … The Leak Less Hauler is here … As with the others … a thing of beauty … Perfectly proportioned … Wonder why Leak Less still looks mad? Looks like Leak Less Hauler didn’t get the memo that Leak Less’ new color is green-yellow … and when I say ‘memo,’ […]

Yes, sometimes you have the bad with the good but you can’t really find … … in the same store you’d find … You have to drive at least 30 miles 🙂 … Though sometimes you can Diddly-Squat and Squat at the same store. Thanks for the rarer than Rollin’ Bowling Mater on cards CARS, […]

Your next track playset … The loop-de-loop looks pretty cool. Perfect for placing lil’ bro’s head there to see if that might hurt if full speed RPM comes barreling through … all in the name of science, of course … Also folds up … And you can even store a few CARS … good thing […]
