Hi Take5ers,
I just recently noticed these tiny new cars 1 and 2 characters called Squinkies (I think). They looked like they were rubber and they all came with their own little plastic ball. My sister and I thought they were so cute! We wanted to get some for game playing pieces (we have been Carsifying all of our board and card games ). Can someone tell me how many characters have been released in these? Would someone be willing to pick some up for me at your Wal-Marts? I am sure they are a lot less in the US then here. You can send your replies to truth@telus.net or post below.
Thanks,
Alicia

Alicia, here are all the Cars Squinkies (and accessories) released so far. The four nine packs run US$9.95 each at Walmart and Toys R Us.
If someone will get them for you now, Walmart is having a buy one get one 1/2 half off (BOGO-50%) sale on Cars. Squinkies run about about US.65¢ each at the sales price.

The hidden ones are always the same so they aren't a mystery if you look at the website before buying them.

Packs 3 and 4 only recently came out, October?, he was in there. I don't think there's been a Doc yet.

What are these little guys made of? Never seen them before…. lol I am so far back in the times…. We were thrilled when we got an atari for christmas when I was in 4th grade. I can't keep up with the kids or the toys these days… My 5 year old niece is always talking about toys that I can't even pronounce…. let alone imagine what it is! LOL

Hey John,
There is a Doc in the Ramp Pack series 3.
And Rncaduceus
The Squinkies seem to be made of rubber. When I found a few in my store, they seemed to be a little "bouncey" in their plastic bubbles. Not sure if I am right but that is the impression I got when I jiggled the package.

Thanks, I was hoping the ramps were duplicates; I bought the four large packs as Christmas presents. I suppose Globie and Mack come with unique Squinkies also?
They are a squishy rubber like material, much softer than an eraser.

Does Target carry them? My Walmart and TRU do not seem to be having a sale on them.

Hey John,
Mike was wonderful enough to go and get these for me but his stores were not having the sale. Would you be willing to get these for me? If you can get them I would like the 4 different 9 packs they have (called Bubble Pack series 1, 2, 3, and 4) and also the Ramp Pack series 1, 2 and 3. And if you could choose the ones that have the best paint (eyes and mouth mostly) that would be great!
If anyone else would be willing to help me with this please e-mail me at truth @@ telus.net
Thanks
