To be more confusing, the second CARS ‘launcher’ series is changing its name from Wheelers to Lightyear Launchers. The available CARS-Piston Cup racers hasn’t changed – just the name of the line … Now called LIGHTYEAR LAUNCHERS … They should start arriving in the next month or two … Maybe they felt WHEELERS was too […]

From Caitlin/FPG … her very interesting Charlie Checker/Pace Car … Now if this were the more common (and current), yellow red light Charlie Checker, you might think it’s a fake but … Since it’s the original red rear lights – an error in packing … Charlie Checker’s expression says it all – I get no […]

Couldn’t spot the Pizza Planet truck in the preview … But the Teaser Trailer (different from above clip) has McQueen in it (well – it features every Pixar film as the intro …) As usual, Pixar likes to make it un-high concept as possible … an animated film about a 78-year old guy? Then you […]

Not that there’s anything wrong with that … Top Ten Things Overhead by Masters of Universe Dude at the Matty Club … 10) I Drank What? 09) Who stole my uggs? 08) Dude, you can’t sell combustion powered vehicles, they’re not canon to my storyline! 07) Ha-ha,  I took the budget for this ad out […]

Here’s the UPC if it helps in the search:     0-27084-67922-9 I did find this […]

Humm  not sure what it is – Sleepy Mack or Zombie Mack?

Target does not use the UPC codes are er, universal on all products in the US. Instead they use their own SKU codes that they call DPCI. In some ways, it makes sense – instead of clotting their database with hundreds of thousands of UPC’s for products that are not available separately, what’s the point, […]

First, thanks for sending me photos of all things CARS from around the world … Please keep in mind I get a lot of emails and a lot of photos so unless it’s a photo and a post I’m throwing up right away, it’s easy to lose track of who sent me what so if […]

Our favorite toymaker, Martin A. can attest. He slides down the Mattel pole with his design team to the basement where the chocolate river goes past the truffle bushes and he meets the magical supermodel elves, and before they even have to speak*, they present them with dozens of beautiful diecasts made from ever lasting […]
