Hi takefivers,
Interesting find on ebay. One of the sellers from China has some interesting cars. She has, flight attendence, 3 of the ultimate chase racers, some others–but she also has the cars from the up coming Kmart 8 collector days event. The silver racers. Check it out. Try to control yourselves, don't bid on these, don't spend hundreds of dollars unless you have it to burn.

It is cool to look at what is coming, but at the same time it is disappointing because Mattel's distribution has been LOUSY! It is so irrational that a company that is allegedly in business to turn a profit cannot seem to supply something there is such a strong demand for. I've said it before and I will say it again…"BOO YOU MATTEL!"
Sometimes I wish my wife decided to buy my son some Matchbox cars or something instead of that Finish Line LMQ/King/Chick gift pack about two years ago. I've been chasing the dragon ever since.
Speaking of which, has anyone else seen the new Chuck and Friends die casts?
They all have ransburg finishes, and at least 4 times the metal as Cars cars. Pretty sweet, albeit a little pricey.

This guy is insane! He must be making so much money off these cars. Congrats for having them all, if you're reading this mydog.

Couldn't have said it better!

Yeah, she's rollin' in the 'dough, from Cars rolled out the back door. I'm wondering about the dog though; why is it called "Zero?"

That's pretty much what shoplifters pay these days.

Does Mattel ever do anything about this? One of their employees making $ off of rejected product? Do other companies product show up like this? I'm sure it's stealing because they could probably recycle the metal.
