Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Target Summer Reset 2010
Thanks to “Mr. Target Dude” for the reset recap, we have a complete picture of the Target reset for late summer happening now and in the next few weeks. Of interest to most CARS collectors, here’s what has made the cut and will be back on the shelves or hitting the shelves …
(note the photos are merely representative of the line extension and may not reflect the current Night Skyline artwork).
The most significant note is that MEGASIZE-OVERSIZE-DELUXE is NOT listed. Guess those mega, mega clot of Semi Cabs under one UPC-DPCI might mean only TRU & other retailers will be carrying them? I don’t think megasize made the WM cut either.
Toon megasizes are on the list everywhere.
And Color Changers get TWO peg rows … (not shown here).
Plus all the playsets and the carrying case …
And yes, no launchers are listed …
The nex-last wave of Target grocery store conversions are edging closer to completion so your store might not get fully reset-restocked under after the _____ of September.
But happy shopping.

Maybe this explains the “behindness” of the shipments of the local targets? or is it just target and has nothing to do with the reset? and yes, it has been several months since i’ve been on.
Now can we just get them to lower the prices???? SIIIIGH – I hate the darn final laps at $5. . killing my mojo!
seen bessie in UK for two wks only.
where are the octane, bumper, etc. crew sets? shouldn’t they be out for the TGT reset?
Found Octain Gain set in April and found Bumper Save last month. Yet to see them again.
(MET: Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope … or … You can’t always get what you want … But if you try sometimes you just might find … You just might find (An Oversized Semi Cab)).
where do you live?
crew chiefs ?
Cool list! Thanks..
When is the next K Mart Cars day? I think it’s Saturday, October 16, 2010, but I’m not sure. There’s a list below. Oh, and of course, they’re in no order other than alphabetically, but here’s what we’ve seen:
Faux Wheel Drive
Gask-It’s
Shiny Wax
Sidewall Shine
Tach O Mint
Tank Coat
View Zeen
Based on what’s not out, and previous case assortments, I think Nitroade will also show up, even though we haven’t seen listings. I think speedway sets’ prices should come down. Also, all 3 “Big 3” cars are scheduled as pit row launchers. Dale Jr. is too, and it may be the angry one. Also, I’ve noticed all Gask-It’s on eBay w/ Rubber Tires have black rims. I hope they will have blue rims, or else, I’m not getting it. I like colored rims. I’ll just wait for launchers, though.
so this list is just a guesstimate?
Nope, not a guesstimate, here’s links to the listings:

And, while not a racecar, the same seller also had this:

By the way, all of them were completed listings. Just weeks ago there was lots of unreleased stuff from China and Australia. Recently, many haven’t sold, and now they’ve dissapeared from eBay. Maybe these guys got busted.
whatever happened to the creme filled gaskits and tach-o-mint launchers we saw at SDCC last year?
(MET: Probably see them after Kmart Day in October).
Just got back from my local Target and does not look like the reset it complete but all the launchers and Mega sized are gone. They did have a new endcap with Cars toon stuff on it. They had several Ito San, but Kabuto was missing.
Side note Big Lots did have as many have reported Mega Sized and Haulers. No Bessie, but they have Marco, Hicks Cab, LSMQ all on the new nightsky cardback as well as the Mood Springs Haulers.
Exactly. Same here today. in Houston.
End Cap with toons, Ito San, Kabuto, Yokoza and RS Trooper
Megas gone, taken over by Monster Cars Toons.
No launcher pegs.
Final Lap almost empty except for a few Jamie, Johnny, shovels, Flo with Tray, and 2 Green Ramone (please Mattel no more GR). No Arties or Berts.
Lenticulars – old no restock.
Plenty of new Star Wars stuff, boxes and boxes on the aisle as the workers were resetting the toys this morning.
Clearance shelves? Totally empty. No cabs, no nothing.
the dcpi in the pic for final laps is wrong-its 087070116
(MET: Oops, blurry late night typing).
i don’t know ’bout you guys, but i prefer my groceries “fresh” the day i buy them – it looks like one location ain’t gonna have any ’til september?!? is there a grocery shortage we haven’t been made aware of yet?
Launchers?
The Target in Lafayette (IN) had finished the reset as of 8/1/10… they had no launchers of any kind… No mega size from the movie either…
Maybe they’re bringiing back the pit row launchers. The rumor was Target exclusive. And, why did they make those STUPID Semis? Nobody wants them. They clogged up the shelves, and now killed the megas? What about Richard, Bessie, Marco A., Brian, Snow Tire Leroy, Miles, Chuck Cables, Nelson, and all those RVs? Walmart doesn’t seem to have them anymore, so maybe Toys R Us will still have them. Also, will stores other than Target in the US carry Final Laps?
Nice list… However, 087070418 is the number for the Team Crew sets with crew chief and 3 pittys… Now to just see more than just HTB/Leakless/Dinoco on the shelves.
I think the reason those sets sit on the shelf is because people already have Chief Leakless, and the tall pitty. And for Chick, they already have Bruiser and the wide pitty. Instead of a Not Chuck style pitty, it has an extra variant Bruiser. All that’s really new is the crew chief. So, in those sets, I guess most think it’s not worth it. I hope they can discontinue those sets and bring in new ones. Also, will they finish haulers and pit row sets to have 35 teams? We may have to do without Apple.
Yeah bring back bessie!!! Those team sets are on my mind too!!!
Happy Simcoe day y’all!
Bring Back Bessie? I have never seen her. How about just bring her out
I haven’t found Bessie yet either. Maybe when Kohl’s puts out their holiday stuff I’ll find it then. That’s how I finally found Frank last year
Does this mean Bessie will not be back at Target? Are the megasize/oversized Cars going to be a problem to find?
Wal Mart, TRU, and Kmart still have them, but they’re mostly semis in my area.
