It's a shame retailers haven't learned to use the UPC for all it's capable of. For instance, I saw the Boost & Wingo set when I was traveling last week. If only ToysRus.com could arrange to locate that for you. That being said, if anyone lives near the Matteson, Illinois TRU, maybe they could stop by and get that for you.

I agree 100% with you, some major retailers are doing it so you would think TRU would do it also to help with sales. It does not surprise me though, they have the worlds worst customer service.

Do you know whether Chick & The King was ever released? We have all the other Cars except for the London Taxi and Patrol Boat, but never saw Chick & The King in the stores. We figured they might have gotten caught up in the Mack recall?

Im honestly not sure. We only started getting the wooden stuff a short while ago and since our store was so picked over i was just going by what i found online. I found a photo of them some where new in package so just assumed they were released. We have a wooden mack, i was not aware that they got recalled, do you know what for?

It was right before Christmas 2010. Mack was a two pack with Lightning McQueen for around $30. All the wooden Cars were too expensive so we didn't pay too much attention. (Which is why I don't know for sure if there was a Chick/The King two pack.) Soon after Christmas the Macks were gone and there was a sign on the shelf about a recall and to bring back Mack for a refund. I think it said something about paint, but I am somewhat fuzzy now. There might be a government recall site with more info.
After Cars 2 opened all the wooden Cars went on 50% sale (August 2011?) and we bought all the Cars and the Cars 1 sets. I looked on eBay then for Mack but never found one. Eventually Mack appeared as a single and we got him and 2011 Holiday Cars.
This year there have been several 50% and 30% sales and we picked up the oil derrick set so we are missing two or three Cars only released in Cars 2 sets.
My kids have barely played with them and yet many are chipped and worn from just sitting in the drawer. I would be very surprised to see TRU ever release any new wooden Cars.
I'd still like to get Chick and The King if they are out there plus our Casa Della Tires came without the stack of tires so I look on eBay occasionaly for that also.

Oh ok our mack was packaged alone (for about $25 i believe) so we are good lol. I'm constantly looking on ebay and amazon for the casa della tires set (that's the only one we cant find anywhere!) and so far i have had no luck, i almost wonder if that one was not produced as much as the main track set and the mater set because i find those everywhere. I'm also disappointed they didn't make the other sets like Flo's cafe, etc. that would have been awesome! As far as the quality i have noticed its no where compared to the Thomas the train stuff. We purchased the Thomas the train table and track set for my son for Christmas and he never played with it (BIG waste of money) but thankfully Thomas is popular so i was able to get most of my money back on ebay. We decided to get a smaller simple train table and do the cars track because ever since he was 1 he has been obsessed with cars so we thought it would be a better option. Maybe they will have another 50% off sale soon so i can get him the cars 2 set, i hate to pay full price for it because he really didn't care for that movie like he did the first.

Our stores were full of Casa Della Tires for a loooong time; they were all missing the stack of tires, some were missing Luigi. I still see a lot of Mater's Tow Yard.

I found 3 packs from someone else that I needed so the only ones I need now are casa Della tire set (which I think would be way to expensive to ship lol) so if you will just keep an eye out for chick and king I would very much appreciate it 🙂

Hi! i have run several TRUs and the only thing i found of wood cars from the first film was the sheriff track and from the 2 packs was: radiator springs LMQ and sally,doc and dirty track LMQ,cruisin LMQ and green ramone, tex dinoco and dinoco LMQ.I have ask to a friend of mine that works in a TRU for some years and he says that chick and king where never release because of some problems with the king wood shape,then i say to him that i saw (lie) one in ebay for sale and he says that was impossible unless a factory backdoor escape. so this was what i found,sorry i have try.

Thanks so much for all your help Tav75 at least now we know and can stop looking for them lol. There was so much potential with this set and I just don't know what happened. They could have released all the buildings ( like the v8 cafe, Lizzie's shop etc) so that there could of been an entire radiator springs but its like they got lazy and quit putting effort into it and went right into cars 2 stuff :(.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the King/Chick Hicks two pack was released. My son has a set of them along with many others. Just wanted to let you know there still is hope.
