Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Materlover Haz Some CARS :-)

Materlover was kind enough to send us proof that we have a backup of every CARS item produced in case Disney’s salt mine storage springs a leak :-)

If you look closely, you see that they also ate the proper amount of Pop Tarts to get the license plates …

AND he bought the hardcover of our book - clearly ‘materlover’ is a gentleman and a scholar! We thank thee for your tithe to our Pop Tart fund!

And now, we sleep.

We could only fit about 1/3 of the photos in here - the only sad news is the inventory here is better than most TRU’s (and better displayed) … so if you’ve announced, I have 25 CARS, I think I’m complete … better have the boys here double verify your checklist :-) … you might just have a few miles to go …

Thanks Materlover!

(they don’t make a CARS blanket/bedspread doo-hickey? Gasp!)

  9. I’m pleased to share our hobby with you & we’re glad you enjoyed it. It is usually about 45 -60 minute tour for most visitors.

    It all started in 2006, before the movie, with a little car called Mater from McDonalds. The collection is the result of all my kids,grandkids,and friends. Most all are “play with care” toys, but a few are still packaged.

    The glass display case is one I pickup from a garage sale a few weeks ago resulting in the removal of the bed. My biggest fear was the glass and the kids, but they are doing just fine. The boys really enjoy the cars and my youngest granddaughter just as much, so it seems as sleeping bags will replace the bed.

    Yes Ada, that is the SOS in the first pix. It is also one of the “play with care” toys.

    Patty, that is a NASCAR #5 1/24 scale in the wooden case sitting on top of a NASCAR #10 1/24 scale with 1/24 scale Lightning & Mater.

    MCL Sydney, the car you refer to is a Shake-N-Go King. This particular one is a cool metallic color from Target. You can still get the regular colors at most stores.

    I’m sorry! I get started talking about the little guys and I don’t know when to stop.

    Hope you guys have as much fun!

    The Shake n’ Go Cars with the special metallic finish are really nice looking. :) They were a Target exclusive I believe. They came out about a year ago? I was lucky enough to get all four of them. Mater, King, LMcQ and Doc.

    There were only a few in stock when I saw them in the store and I haven’t seen them since. Looks like they were very limited. I actually had to hunt down the Metallic Mater on eBay and I paid the same price I would have paid at Target.

    Not sure if there was much interest in them when they came out.

    Hope you find The King! :)

    Make sure you ask the eBay seller if there are any scratches on the car.

    The metallic finish scratches very easily.

    Good luck with the auction. Hope you win! :)

  16. Nice, we only do diecast stuff, but that looks swell (like my 1950s American? I have been practicing all week).

  17. DaddyO, Daylight hours are always a good time.

    Most of the merchandise stuff was either free displays or gifts from those who thought we should have it, because it was about cars. As such, never turn either away, but that is while we still have room for more die cast cars. Who knows what the future will bring.

    Will be off line for a few days, hope all buyers at SDCC take time to enjoy the event as well. Thanks again.
