Wasn’t Props Mcgee included in that 4 pack with Mater the Aviator and Daredevil McQueen with Teeth? Also Doused McQueen was in the Rescue Squad Mater line as Soaked McQueen.

Or conversely, Mattel has been nice enough to save me money by making this line far more interesting than what the mainline has become. Instead of buying a $11 launcher just to get the “new” car that is in it, I can spend $6 on a shiny new take on everyone’s favorite tow truck.

I on the other hand could care less about the exclusive Final Lap cars and would much rather pick these up. Exclusivity takes all the fun out of it, especially when it’s at good ole “empty pegs” Target.

I am with you John. Brian was displayed at SDCC two years ago! Maybe he and Richard Clayton Kensington and Hi Lo Ramone all went on a road trip together

I also see it this way Matt. The mainline singles that are left to be released, even though we collectors all want them, are minor characters and little kid Cars fans (the probable majority of the Mattel customer base) are simply not interested. Your average 2-3 year old could not give a half a hoot about boring old Skip Richter (poor Skip). The Cars Toons and Storytellers are aimed at keeping the Cars line fresh, interesting and current for the little fellas to stay with the line until Cars 2. Final lap will trickle 2-3 new releases out a month for the next year and a half or so, period. I don’t mind it one bit. I am loving the Cars toons, reveling in the Storytellers and salivating over the Christmas Cars. More of a good thing? Yes please! But only because they are genuine, not some phoned-in crap.
