Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: More, More, More – Where, Where, Where …
There?
Well, CARS seems to be falling from the skies or being belched from below by the CARS Manster Monster …
“Dorvack1” has found the latest Mater Tall Tales Toons Deluxe Megasized UFM ones to go with Mator … Cosmic, dude, Cosmic!
Not just Military Hummer, now, Corporal Kim.
Very nice paint scheme.
We are gonna need a fleet of Foo Fighters …
Who had CAPTAIN MUNIER in the Military Helicopter name pool?
I had a Harrison on Munchhausen … oh, so close!
Yep, Unit 51 … and lot’s of UFO “kills.” Funny.
So, anyone in the Armed Forces can explain why it says MITCHELL on the side? No one gets anything marked with their first name right? The base name? A tragic mis-spelling of Munier? Oh, oh – another Area 51 mystery? Classified and misdirection? “You can just call me Mitchell – it’s on uniform, it must be my name … do I smell goat?”
“Dorvack1” is in the SF Bay Area so West Coast FIRST!
And best of all, he claims that Toon Megasize are only $3.97 at WM – humm, I might have to drive out and take a look.
And just East of the Azore Target and Canary Island Gimbels – “Dolly” has found one more Tokyo Mater CAR … the nicely done Teki & Paki … Looks like it’s time for an update and MODERFIED checklist … European card, no snipe for you!
Thanks for the nice pics, “Dvorack1” and “Dolly.”

I found Corporal Kim and Colonel Munier at a WalMart SuperCenter, but the best part is that they rang up at $3.97 each!! Somebody messed up on their price entry system. Maybe it was the same jerk who coded the Mator as a recall item and grabbed my three Mators 2 weeks ago! I was not about to say anything that these should have been $5.00 more each.
Found Corporal Kim and Captain Munier today at Walmart, no smaller UFM
packs just the Mega. I’m off to TRU. We shall see.
Chicago, IL
I had to drive across the state of South Carolina, but I found a Mator – UFM at a Toys R Us. Yes, I was obsessed in finding one!
hope them UFM hit amsterdam full scale soon 🙂
looking at some ninja pitty’s and scared Van as they arrived in toyshops in the DAM, but still no UFM cars … need the UFO badly 🙂
The UFM Mega Size were found in Toys R Us Today on the Cube they had.
where?
Sorry I have been out most of the day, they were found in Vermont
I found the ufm megasizes fine over here. Im in the long beach area of california.
Only walmart had them. But that same walmart hasn’t even gotten tokyomaters.
Skipped it completely.

**** VERY IMPORTANT ****
I went to a WalMart SuperCenter today. They received in the latest Mater Toon Cars. I grabbed three of the UFM (Unidentified Flying Mator) flying saucers. When I got to the register, they system would not sell them. Come to find out that they are part of a recall!!!!! They were confiscated right there, and I was not allowed to buy them. What a load of $#%^@!!!!!
I went to other WalMarts and could not find UFM. I had a buddy report to me that the same thing happened to him. However, one of his buddies found UFM at another store (not WalMart) and was able to buy him!!!! I have a sneaky way of getting UFM from Walmart if I can find him. Let’s just say it involves the use of the Self-Checkout lanes – and I am not talking about stealing him.
I know we have some insiders to Mattel on here. Would you PLEASE ask what is up with this? UFM looks really cool – and I am abosultely STEAMED that I could not buy those three!!!!
(MET: That’s pretty weird …).
I’m in the UK and I’ve have to do the Self Serve purchase plenty of times this year because of items not being file. Paul Valdez, El Materdor, Komodo, Cho, Ninja. I always take a peg warmer to the self serve with me now when finding new stuff.
I called Mattel corporate today. They told me that Mator is NOT under recall. They said it was a fluke in the WalMart system. So, I am trying to work with the manager at the store to get those three back and cleared for sale from the home office.
I must be totally crazy!
Dilbert, is there ANY Mattel recall going on?
(MET: Not for CARS).
Aaaaaarg. This same thing just happened to me tonight at WalMart in Niles, IL on Touhy Ave. The worst part is, in my excitement of finding Mator, I forgot to try the self-check out trick. The manager happened to be standing at my check-out, talking to the check-out clerk, when these rang up as recalled. She confiscated them immediately and would not budge, and would not allow me to return them to the shelf (in order to enact self-check-out-plan). Additionally, the rest of the case was already gone. I am so frustrated!
Must check Walmart!
Walked into TRU this morning, not expecting to find much…I was wrong. They had just put out a few cases of Toons. I got Dragon Lightning McQueen (non-oil stain), Drift Party Mater, Kaa Reesu, Kyandee, Stripped Kabuto from Toyko Mater and Mator (w/oil cans), Dr. Abschlepp Wagen from UFO Mater. Oh and a Chase Mater w/oil can. My arms were full and I was smiling when I got to the checkout 🙂
WHERE OH WHERE!?!?!
PS – Thanks for putting the comments back in order of appearance – It only makes sense to see where a conversation starts and how it progresses!!! Right on Dude-Met-Dude!!!
Far Far away……Clearwater, Florida 😉
Thats funny I just hit that Toys R Us about 1:20pm and got all the same cars.
Nice score!
I was just going to email this in I found the 2 military ones at walmart today in Orem 🙂
Awesome.
I have NOT seen toons in our Wal-Mart in over a year, the tag is there just NO new cars and they are 6.97 mega.
Found a whole box of unopened Deluxe Cars Wrestlers today!!! With Rasta Carian two Tormentors and Two McMeans and the sixth was Doctor Feel Bad of course!!!
What a score!!! My first new minty mints still in box!!! They are in Canada too – Zellers shipped to two of our stores around here…
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SWEET score BB…have knot seen any in my area yet, but will keep my hooks crossed!!!
what an awesome score.
Here is a top 5 greatest mystery of all…
5- Area 51
4- The Great pyramids of Egypt
3- The Universe
2- God
1- Mattel: CARS distribution worldwide…
you forgot one:
We spend lots of money on resumes and we STILL have to fill out an application
Don’t forget the doctor’s office and the dentist’s office asking you to complete your information and medical information EVERY TIME you come in for an appointment.
#8 Wonder of the World:
Fools who text novels (for 10 to 30 minutes each message) when a 3 or 4 min phone call will work, and or the ones that do that while driving and even after they HIT someone, and finish the message while your standing at their window.
Or the ones that do it at work ALL DAY when they should be paying attention to their jobs
Really like #1 .lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Nice, but will pass, they need to finish the main movie first
There was General Billy Mitchell who was a pioneer of military aviation, but he had nothing to do with helicopters that I know of, and there’s no reason his name should be associated with this. Could it be that Munier is his first name?
Met, what store were these found in please?
(MET: WM)
Hi BMW, the Japanese Pittys i found in Europe (a store near me in Germany) :)Happy to be finding something new again, i have to check what are they getting it this one (found only one, all others where gone), though they don’t get to many at once 🙁
Dolly
Ugh, MORE toons? I really wish they’d finish the movie, I refuse to collect these ones anymore.
I rarely buy Toons either.
Clearly, I need to move westward if I ever want to get any of these off the pegs….still have never seen a Vinyl Toupee hauler or anything from Tokyo Mater here – although I don’t think I have the determination many of you do. Hope to get some via trades as well…
Cars I have never seen on the shelf / peg:
• Impound Wingo
• Vinyl Toupee Hauler
• Shifty Drug Hauler
• Bessie
• and obviously all the brand-spanking-new Toons featured on this site the last few days
VT and Shifty Drug Haulers are everywhere in Canada, but then again they are $24-28 here…..
I just (FINALLY) randomly came across a Bessie at our WinCo this week!! I dont know who was more excited me or the 4 year old 🙂
If it wasn’t for take5ers finding and selling to me I would have only had 3 new cars in the last 18 months that weren’t lenticular.
Our wal-mart has nothing and its 2 hours to Denver.
Simple.. Shifty Drug and Vinyl Toupee are sitting in Each Canadian TRU store .. asking price 24.99$ + 13% Tx .. at least 10-15 of each in almost every TRU surrounding Montreal, Qc.
Wow, very nice!
Hey all the comments go from top to bottom again! YAY!!
Gotta have ’em, collect them all, beam me up mamaship!
Outta this world!!!
Must have Japanese pitties!!
Hopefully they’ll surface around February.
now that’s more like it. still would like to see more pit crews and haulers, but i’ll take what i can get.
Since I’m thankful for our Army, I will collect the military cars.
And I certainly hope Mattel understands that the military CARS from UFMwill have a much broader appeal because of that! These will be popular with military personnel, veterans, military families, kids with parents/aunts/uncles in the military, in addition to CARScollectors, UFOlogists, and kids in general.
They are not on the same level as Nurse Kori and Nurse GTO, and will not be warming the pegs for 8 months like these have at my Target.
Guess I’ve gotta go snag, bag and tag a few of these myself. Do I smell fudge?
Yes, I agree. I hope they can make lots of them. At my Targets, they still have the same Toons they’ve had for 13 months.
SWEEEEEET!!! Look forward to finding these … but I fear trade will be the only way … just to dry in my area lately. 🙁
AWSOME GOTTA GET THEM !!
