Speaking of oddities … I can’t believe Disney hasn’t licensed CARS out for computer pointing devices (aka: mouse) … This is from a company called Car Mouse and yep that Camaro & Challenger is really a mouse … okay, Mater or Wingo probably wouldn’t make for a good mouse but Lightning? PERFECT … You mean […]

It’s time to re-up for the Red Line Club … It’s a cool looking membership car but if you’re only collecting CARS, there will be no more CARS items in the Red Line Club. We can cut through the PR BS – Hot Wheels Collectors don’t want CARS on their site and the Hot Wheels […]

Well, that’s my guess – that some nitwit wanted plastic Lightning McQueen so he left tractor Tippin’ Track Set Frank behind … so in case you haven’t seen him on the loose … Doesn’t even look as detailed as the MegaBlok Frank … Compared to regular 1:55 … To the nitwit who opened the pack, […]

It’s finally been confirmed and while it’s been pretty much set for month, it’s definitely a Target exclusive … And there appears to be a finalized list … there are definitely some Desert Art & Supercharged Movie Moment packs NOT scheduled for Race O Rama for 2009. I would think it means these Movie Moments […]

Our friends and CARS collector David from France sends us a great link to a page he put together … a great recap of all the McQueen’s from the film and all of the direct diecast release from that scene … Check it out here. Here’s his mini bio … sounds pretty much like every […]

Okay, who’s up for this? A compilation of all the sponsors we have evidence of … logos … etc that are not the main sponsors (like Gask-Its or No Stall). Someone sent me these (before I instituted an actual tracking feature of who sent me what – sorry!). Some of the “new” sponsors … Alzr […]

You might have noticed we have added a new “permanent” page thanks to Niki P. All the ongoing and current CARS products UPC & DPCI numbers will be maintained on an ongoing basis in the page on the right called UPC & Target DPCI Numbers for Store Stock Thanks again Niki for pulling all the […]

From “BMW,” …. “I called 4 Macy’s today here in Houston with the UPC codes, and found out that they just finished inventory.  The Mattel cases they had over the holidays turns out were seasonal items only, not regular inventory stock. I spoke with two managers at two separate stores and got the same exact […]

This is what the 3-CAR GIFT PACK with Finish Line McQueen should look like … However, it seems that “danversMABlowhard” has found 3 or 4 of these cases with Tongue McQueen instead. As a cynic, I’m 89% convinced it’s a tampering and replace but what do you think – relatively easy to slice open, unwire, […]

For some reason, people think the Mack Hauler is too small. He’s not as large as he could be but he’s not too small – there is a difference. As you can see, he is visually appropriate in comparison to McQueen … This photo is shot with the camera placed directly in front of the […]
