//Mattel Pixar Cars Checklist: New Sealed Boxes (Comic Con 2007 UPDATE) « TWO A DAY
15 September 2007 at 2:13 am

I am in VA and we have 5 Walmarts within 15 miles of us. The only things I am seeing at Walmart are the shake em up cars. Recently there have been a diecasts put back on the shelves but nothing new. Do you have any idea how it will be decided who will get the new releases? Is it just sheer luck?
(METROXING: There’s no rhyme or reason - for instance, some WM in Kentucky seems to have gotten in the new exclusives and of course, if you happen to live in a town with a few rabid eBayer hoarders, they will get there as the store opens or ACTUALLY work there so by the time you arrive, it might look like nothing is new there - some stores will actually try and help you (though in CA, Walmart employees all seem to hate customers ;-( so your help mileage will vary … Yes, sometimes it is luck but for non-24 hour Wal Marts, they stock at night so when the stores open bright and early, that’s your best bet but with the popularity of this line, there are no absolute guarantees but it doesn’t hurt to ask an employee especially if you bring a few kids )

I’m from the UK and I was wondering if you know when they will come out in the UK because wave 3 is still quite rare here
(METROXING: You might scroll through the comments from this post to read some of the advice from UK buyers - hopefully, it wlll be of use to you).

Hi, I work at Wal-Mart and have an update for Cars Fans:
The end of September/Beginning of October Sales Paper for Wal-Mart will have cars advertised, including the die cast. Also a re-release of the dvd with a new bonus Wal-Mart exclusive dvd. This merchandise is being received in the stores now on three different display racks. Most stores are holding the racks in the back until the tab breaks, which will be next week. These racks will be displayed in the front aisles as you enter the general merchandise side of the store…not in the toy dept. These racks also contain the new Wal-Mart exclusive cars. Racks should be out on sales floor by Sept. 29th.

Sorry I forgot to add: One of the display racks has 20 each of Cactus McQueen, T.J. Hummer, Ghostlight Ramone & Al Lightyear Blimp. The other 4 Cars were not on the racks that our store got.
(METROXING: Thanks for both updates!)

Dan,
I was in my local Wal-Mart store this morning 09-22-07 and they already had the racks out. It had the four you mentioned.
I also remember someone posting that the only place you could get Flo’s V8 Cafe Playset only on eBay and they were going for over $100. I was in my local Toys R Us store this morning and they had 10 on the shelf and 4 more in an unopened box. These were at the front of the store where they usually have their clearance items. They were selling for $29.99. They had a whole wall of Cars toys. As I said these were at the front, not in the aisle that they generally stock this stuff in.
(METROXING: The original Flo’s was selling for $80-$200 on eBay but now that the IDENTICAL “Supercharged” version is out as an exclusive, prices have fallen accordingly and some TRU have tons while others still empty but if you want one - don’t wait!).

Hi, I just went to two different walmarts tonight. Went everywhere around the store and found no new cars or the DVD. The Walmart workers said they show nothing about having or getting the new Cars DVD w/ Bonus DVD. They look at us like we are crazy. Can anyone please tell me where you are located for the ones who are funding the 4 new cars. I’m in the Tampa Bay area in Florida.
Thank you!!
(METROXING, Here are the stock numbers - if you find or call a friendly employee, they might help you look it up:
027084574388 TJ HUMMER
027084574326 CACTUS MCQUEEN
027084574333 GHOSTLIGHT RAMONE
027084574340 LIGHTYEAR BLIMP
Good luck!)

I found mine in California. I was talking with the Toy Manager and he said he had ordered a lot of boxes of Cars, but has not received any lately. He said he was surprised about the new cars on the center display. He said he did not order it and did not even know it was coming in. I think this is one that Wal-Mart commits to, but has no control of when it will come in. I went in the store early in the morning and picked up my four new ones. I dropped by after work and the display only had about 12 cars left. So if it had 20 of each car, that would be 80 cars total. This means 68 were sold from this morning til the afternoon. I am sure the eBayers swept in and bought them and now they will be selling them for about $10-$20. I wish Mattel would literally flood the market with these things and put these eBayers out of business. I mean most of us are just trying to buy a nice set for our children.

I have a question; How come in the film Octane Gain is orange but in the Dinoco 400 set he is yellow?
PS: I think tar mcqueen is just the normal mcqueen but he has tar over his “lucky sticker”
(METROXING: Hopefully, that box was either just bad lighting or a prototype … and yea, I have a feeling TAR MCQUEEN will be around the effort Mattel put into BUGS MCQUEEN )

Hey guys
Im in Australia and the cars epidemic is absolutley crazy here, The prices we are found to be paying are crazy i have tried to look up cars on the wal mart web site from here but cant find any on thier site. Does anyone know an online shop other than Ebay to buy these cars at a reasonable price Not $30+ dollars each Thanks Rob

Rob Harding,
The only one I have found is this site: DELETED
(METROXING: Sorry, Tony - cannot recommend or willing to recommend that store to ANYONE. I think they are price gougers. I have no problem with eBay - people willingly pay what they want but this other place, they buy it wholesale but jack up the price HUNDREDS of percent, that’s just wrong. If you’re going to open a store, your certainly entitled to sell it at what you want but I am not willing to help them publicize the store. You can actually check Amazon - click on “USED” even though they are not actually used - small sellers who will sell for much less, the selection is not very complete though and the search is wonky now that it’s MS LIVE technology but try MATTEL PIXAR CARS. Be sure and try Toysrus.com or kbtoys.com - not sure if they mail overseas. You can also search for BIG BAD TOY STORE - good prices but not necessarily always in stock - best prices on cases but again, they don’t usually hae it in stock so it’s hit or miss. If you’re looking for older ones, the prices at eBay have fallen off drastically).

I am in Western Kentucky and was at a Walmart tonight. We purchased Cactus McQueen and TJ - the only two new ones I saw. They had a few of each. AND, we bought them for $2.97 each. The other ones I’ve purchased have been $3.49 (ish).

I live just outside of Louisville, KY. This past Saturday (9/22/07) I found the four new cars at my local Wal*Mart. There were several Ghostlight Ramones left, about 4 or 5 Cactus McQueens, and only 1 each of TJ and Al Oft the Lightyear blimp.
I suppose Ramone will be the easiest of the four to find, since there are so many variants of him already available.
Great site, by the way.

Happened to be in a Wal-Mart yesturday and came across a TJ that someone had left at the empty checkout next to us. While we were walking towards the Toy Section I noticed 2 big Cars displays but didn’t stop and look.
I’ll have to go back to a few different one’s during the week and look for the others. My son loves Cars (as do I… hehehe) and love playing with the different characters.
It was great looking at the list and seeing some that are coming out. EXCELLENT! Just what our wallet needs, more Cars toys to add to our collection.

Hello, I just want to say thanks for all the great information (now I can start a budget for next year)! I have 7 sets going right now (1 of each car for each of my 3 kids to play with, 1 of each car that I will keep in the package for each of my 3 kids so that their kids have them to play with, and 1 collectors set for myself that will hopefully be a completist set, even down to the poster inserts & plastic hangers). By the way, does anybody have a link to a list for an absolute completist?
Also, do you have any case assortment numbers for the upcoming Movie Moments cases? I know that everything is a little messed up if it had Sarge in the assortment, but hopefully Mattel will have some more made soon to correct that!
(METROXING: That’s quite a task you have ahead of you. Good luck! Actually, if you look closely at each “box” listing for 2008, you’ll see the code number - with the letter following it as the year progresses … and yes, Mattel counts October 2007 as 2008 so while they will continue with the 2007 list (see other post) through to W (the Y/Z boxes are already out) - by next month, they will CONCURRENTLY start 2008 (and you thought the year was fast). So, box A will be out in next 3-4 weeks. If you follow the EDITGRID link above to our spreadsheet, that will give you a pretty good head start. The BY NAME tab is probably of most interest to you … I should warn you that you in 2008, Mattel looks like they are continuing the NEW CARS with “Supercharged” Cards but that repeats from 2006/2007 are getting new cards - there is a hint they might read “Supercharged Flashback” or “Pixar Toys” but so far, there’s no confirmation so if you want McQUEEN again as a SUPERCHARGED FLASHBACK, you have another big task ahead of you … Good luck! Though keep in mind that Mattel is also going to release that very limited 500 set of “2006 Set” which will contain about 8 CARS available NO where else on the Desert back cards so there is completist and then there’s completist and )

Hey Guys great site full of great info,
Thought you would like to know that over here in Australia we are just starting to see some of the new cars like Bling Bling McQueen, Tex, and rpm #64 but still no sign of any others.
Do you know if the Wal Mart special edition will be released anywhere in Australia as $30 plus dollars is an insane price to pay.
Thanks angain keep it up
(METROXING: ALL of the Wal Mart cards will be “re-released” next year to all retailers so as long as you don’t need it right now or on a Wal Mart card - there’s always 2008).

Many Walmarts will have the cars exclusive display “shipper” out today. I got all mine last week but there are some managers that actually pay attention and told me so. I thought I was bad at 3 of each car but 7 Ray? I think we’ll all see the value be less than now in 15 years when everyone and their dog tries to sell their complete in-the-package sets. Plus at this rate Mattel will never stop producing them, it will be as common as hotwheels.

ATTENTION International Customers.
I just got off the phone with Mattel Customer Service in regards to the lack of new Cars outside the US. They told me that these Cars will NOT be available internationally.
Apparently, “Tech Services” does not see a demand for the die-cast cars outside the US (or they want to meet the demand within the US???). They also said the Wal-Mart exclusives will NOT be available either.
Keep in mind that Mattel is doing a terrible job of keeping their customer service reps in the loop about the status of any Cars product (particularly the die-cast models) and perhaps the rep I spoke to was more misinformed than any other!
Please do NOT flock to Ebay and drive up the prices as they already inflated. Simply call Mattel customer service and log your complaint. The number for Canada and the US is 1-800-524-8697. Check the Mattel website for contact info in other countries. Your complaints WILL make a difference.

Is there a Dale Jr? Confused b/c on ebay there are some listed. Some are obviously customs and mention that in description, however some listings say it is latest release from the Cars line.
Has the recall hurt the line? I ask b/c on ebay, the norm has always been, the newest releases go for crazy amounts, but the new ones on there now (Blue Ramone, Cactus, etc.) are not selling for much over the cost at the stores.
(METROXING: We added a ‘buying status‘ post and our checklist/speadsheet lists everything OFFICIAL in a handy dandy format. The Dale Jr. will be difficult to obtain because a) it only ships one to a box and there haven’t been that many boxes with it in there - especially since the recall effectively canceled two shipments which no one knows if it will be replaced by Mattel and/or the retailers and b) Dale Jr. sells something like 25% of all NASCAR merchandiscing so even people not collecting CARS will want to add to their Dale Jr. collection. Honestly, Mattel could ship a box with just Dale Jr’s and I’ll bet it would sell out in minutes. And yes, the WM CARS have fallen a little faster because I wonder how many were swooped up by eBayers with no intention of collecting becayse it has fallen very fast to “normal” parameters. I saw an auction close last night for around $20 with shipping certainly reasonable considering it would cost you $12+ gas + tax + your time + luck to get a set. So I advice EVERYONE to buy a set if the price seems reasonable even though the CARS are listed to come out next year and while the line seems to be going great - YOU NEVER KNOW. Better to have the CARS in hand! As for price drops, it is consistent. The first week of release generally will sell for $15 to $40 dollars and then eventually they fall to near ‘normal’ pricing - though the last 4 releases are out of whack since we’ve pretty much gone 2 months AGAIN without any new CARS (in the non-exclusive line))

5 October 2007 at 2:42 am

Mike,
Yes, there is an ‘offical’ Dale Earnhardt Jr that has been released in the US - this came out recently along with Bob Cutlass, Darrell Cartrip and Mario Andretti.
My impression on prices is that the usual new cars (Dale, Andretti etc) are still going for high prices on eBay, but the Wal-Mart exclusives seem to be going for ‘reasonable’ prices. This would suggest that there is a lot of the Wal-Mart cars about, and they are fairly easy to get hold of (therefore keeping prices down). It will be interesting to see if this continues, and whether these are re-stocked.
While I am writing… has anyone noticed the Pizza Planet van in the movie during the opening scenes of the final race? Will we need to wait for 2009 for this one?

Where is “Ramone - Old School” in the film? And what does he look like?

[Reply]
//kalvin1703
9 October 2007 at 1:21 pm

Ramone - Old School…
With as many variations of Ramone as there are, I think Mattel has “maxed” him out….I do not see any other variants possible (unless they make a color not shown in the movie).
In the “Our Town” (Old School???) flashback, we see what is currently Cruisin Ramone.
At the same time, if you look at the forecast (2007-2008) shipping list, there is no Cruisin Ramone forecast.
By process of deduction Old School = Cruisin?
Another note regarding the forecast shipment list: Piston Cup Racer is most definitely Piston Cup Pace Car (which are WM exclusives but only for the time-being). There are 2 cars with last name Hover and Hoover….my guess is they should be spelled the same and that they are either copters, or the 2 fighter jets accompanying “Marco”.
(METROXING: Yea, I think you are right about Ramone - Mattel is adding new cards to the mix for the CARS we already have - a great way to resell everything since completists will have to have it even if it’s just the same Lightning McQueen on a “Flashback” card but for new to the CARS craze, they won’t really care … of course, if they care, they’ll only be about 150 CARS behind to catch up )

It’s really hard to figure out which ones are released yet or not. I finally by chance found Bob Cutless, Yeti and Crusin Ramone today in TRU. Got the new 4 too. This is a great site!! Thanks!
(METROXING: I try to keep the post updated - so I will note if it seems to have arrived everywhere or not - for instance, FRED & The DINOCO HELICOPTER have not been seen anywhere so it’s listed as such while because the Sarge recall, shipments are haphazard so while technically Dale Jr, Cartrip, Bob Cutlass have been out for months, actually finding them is not easy but SCORE! … so the next 4 WM Cars are filtering out but no real signs of Fred or Dinoco Heli just yet).

Today I went to my local WOOLWORTHS shop (A shop that you find quite a lot in the UK) and I seen the following wave 3 cars: Tongue McQueen, Red/hydraulic Ramone, Ferrari, RPM #64 & Tex Dinoco. I was surprised to see RPM & Tex in the UK! I paid £10 for RPM when it was selling for £2.23! I didn’t have Tex so I bought him.
Anyway, I was supposed to write about the collector’s car… I’ve got 3 of the 6 codes so once I have the 6 codes I will try and get a photo of what the collector’s car is. But once you have the 6 codes and sent them to the website, you have to wait 28 days for them to deliver it.
Also, if you don’t stay in America and you want the second lot of Wal-Mart exclusive cars don’t bother buying them of Ebay just now. Because when the first lot came out they were selling on Ebay for about £60. within about 2 weeks they’re down to round about £20 (That’s what I bought mine for & it was buy it now including P&P). The second lot are going for about £40 just now so I’m waating for prices to drop.
(METROXING: Yes, definitely wait on the WM Cars - in some WM, they are actually just sitting on the shelf (the 1st 4) … the online price seems to have pretty much fallen to list price - @$12 plus shipping so yes, don’t buy too early! … and be sure and let us know what the “collector” car - there are some anxious completists here in the US scared it’s something not available here ).

15 October 2007 at 2:04 pm

And I forgot to ask. Is the Dinoco helicopter (Big version) part of the DieCast line? I’m not really sure if I should buy it.
(METROXING: Not technically. It seems a little big to be in scale and while you can hold 3 of the 1:55 (I think it comes with an all plastic Mater), that’s a bit steep ($19.99+) for a 3-car carrying case … though conversely, the other one (coming on a card) is way too small …).

I was wondering if you knew where the Limited Edtion 500 2006 set would be available to purchase?
Thanks
(METROXING: First, you have to sign up on the HW Collector’s Club email (see above link), they send our sporatic emails and offerings for collector cars on a specific day & time … if you want to buy it, you have to join the club (I think it’s $29.99 a year though you get a free collector’s car) and on that day and time, you have to log on to buy - whether you get in and get it is another question as everything is limited. It’s hard to say how popular this set will be - on one hand, everything has been released in one form or another and how much will the set be? $100? $200? $300 (the last Batmobile car at Comic Con sold for $300) …)

Does anyone know, besides Ebay, where you can buy cases of cars if you are not a wholesaler?

This site is so cool, i love it. I love buying the new car for my 4yr old son, but its so hard to get them over here for a resonable price. Americans have it the best getting them 1st, wish we in uk got them alot quicker. we always seem months behind in getting things from US.
Never mind get used to it i suppose, thanks for the updates on new cars, cant wait to see them

Martin, I went on Ebay today and searched for “Fillmore bully” It looks exactly the same as the normal Fillmore… The name on the card has not changed either. I wonder why it’s called bully?
(METROXING: Nothing turned up in my search - you in the US? Is bully some slang word for oil/petrol can or bandana?)

I noticed yesterday in the UK that they have started selling the MEGA BLOCKS (lego) Lightning & Mater on their own SUPERCHARGED cards. The pieces aren’t joined up on it (although, there is only about six pieces but I suppose it’s for the younger kids to practise building).
