It’s true, it’s true! There is a 4th hauler and it’s Octane Gain … As with the first three, great showcase, great box, great hauler and great fun … So buttery so want some bread … Remember, the longer you resist, the more you will need to buy to catch up 🙂 And hopefully soon, […]

Looks like that 20,000 production number was just for the US … Impound Lightning McQueen and the first CHASE CAR (in a multitude of languages has arrived in Europe). And of course, the question is – will the European CHASE CARS also lose their confetti? Can you say THE CHASE IS ON in Flemish? Thanks […]

On the release list for a while but with the transition from 3-pack blister cards to a more proper 3-pack box set, they were delayed and while they are a few more months away (late February? March?) – they are finally ready for prime time … Humm, do I need a reasonble facsimilie recreation of […]

Without going into too much detail, the word is that confetti on the Chase blisters is no more. This was not a cost savings measure – more of a creative look & feel decision … So, in the midst of the change, some Boost and some Snot Rod’s seem to have escaped the factory wearing […]

As we learned a few days ago, Mario Andretti with the correct red rims has arrived in France … Here he is out of his plastic prison next to old/variant Mario Andretti Not sure why it took a year … But one more error fixed. So he should start showing all over Europe very soon? […]

If the Haulers are nice as is … They are triple H as nice with a Piston Cup Racer & a Pitty! Nice. Hella nice. Hella, hella nice. These sets work on a lot of levels. Of course, once you have the haulers done – might as well re-pack them in some way and this […]

For anyone who wants to introduce themselves, step right up and answer these questions three (or more) (or make up your own- we’re not picky other than answering the FIRST one so we know who you are) 🙂 SIGNIN NAME? BIO? WHEN DID YOU START? WHAT WAS THE FIRST CAR YOU GOT? HOW LONG BEFORE […]

The first three CARS Toons: Mater’s Tall Tales are available for instant watching at Disney.com but not Tokyo Drift … probably have to wait until BOLT ends its theatrical run … It’s nice – they are available for viewing in three sizes, “small,” … Large and FULL SCREEN viewing options (not show here). The three […]

Well, there are obvious clues and not so obvious clues … Uh, not reset … or SlicePie was just here … Not reset … or the Target is all tilty and everything is all askew … Yep, the reset has begun. As Target prefers to keep their employees busy and have the shelves look full […]

The Gift Packs (aka: 3-packs) did not get off to the best of starts. The first batch featured CARS packs that were not just terribly un-exciting but frankly, the card design was dull, dull, dull, dull … CASE A (late 2007-early 2008) Cactus McQueen, Dirt Track Doc Hudson (Red Rims) & Sheriff Pace Car (Charlie […]
