Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Heavy Metal Mater 4-Pack … Live!
Heavy Metal Mater 4-Pack … Bang a Gong, Get it at Target …
Humm, that doesn’t really rhyme, does it … But I think if you shout it at the top of your lungs, it’s rock ‘n roll and I like it …
Thanks for the nice photo, “Chris with Tray.” FIRST!
This is the last one listed for 2010 but then for Mattel, 2010 really ends in the next few weeks … so rock on, dude … hopefully we will see some more 4-packs in the 2011 that is really 2010.
It’s not confirmed but it’s believed that 4-packs are Target exclusives now … but if you spot them elsewhere, let us know.
Don’t forget, Target is launching the program where if you use their credit card, you get a 5% discount on the spot (I think it starts in mid October) … JUST REMEMBER TO PAY IT OFF when you get the first statement … last I looked, their interest rate was like 25% … in other words, if you don’t pay it off, you are paying a 20% premium … potentially FOREVER. 🙁
Thanks for the nice pic and happy shopping and hunting!
Thanks, “Chris with Tray … and with Camera.”

I just picked this up at Ross on clearance for 9.99.
wow..awesome
Found these at Target today. Very nice detail, but also very pricey.
Pricey yes but I’m it’s a price I’m willing to pay so if you picked up any extras I’ll buy them off you or trade you if there is anything I have that you need. .
Thanks sijack1@aol.com if you forgot the email.
I am also looking for more of the Heavy Metal 4 Pack if anyone sees them. thanks Rob
I saw four of these on the shelf at the Target store at South Hill Mall, Puyallup, WA. $29.99- Looks nice!
Man Steve your killing us. This is like telling someone dying of thirst in the desert that you could have got some water but didn’t. LOL.
I sure wish you could have or would pick these up. I would gladly compensate for your help.
Really,Steve!!
After all, you can always return it back to store.
My Target showed zero in stock room…
$30 ? I need to think again.
These 4 packs are available internationally, as i have in my possession the rescue squad ones (with 4 languages on them).
They come up in the TRU Canada system as regular price of $28. so, i guess Canada was always in this ball park.
If anybody is looking for these……contact me.
The TRU database indicates that there are somewhere in Ontario 13 of them(RSM’s).
Has anyone seen any of the four packs outside of the US…???As im from the UK and would love these but never EVER!!!!!!!!!!! seen them anywhere 🙁 boo hoo
email me
jammywin88@hotmail.com
cheers

I do wish theyd bring out more cars here in the UK!!!!! 🙁
Kind of happy to see that set coming out… not so much about the price tough… But the ultimate question is… WHERE THE HECK IS 1:55 scale MATERDOR SERIES ???? Really? That’s the last one for 2010 ??? Materdor video was released somewhere in 2008 no???
It is interesting to get all these reports of new and exciting (?) castings, whether I am interested or not. However, that being said. There ain’t anything on the lousy pegs!!!! Wal-Mart has dedicated a minimal mount of shelf space for any and all Cars. Target continues to be a vast wasteland of old stuff (let’s clean out the distribution centers)! Nobody buys any of this stuff at Fred Meyer- the shelves can’t move the stuff even with different buy XXX get X free. K-Mart is still pushing the remnants from the collector day. Maybe things will change after Black Friday.
I hope Slash is getting some royalties from the Pitty’s look.
Hope? Why?
This is probably one of the reasons these 4-packs are $30.
For each set of these sold, Mattel will donate a portion of the profits to Slash to fund his divorce proceedings. 🙁
Are you serious?! That is disgusting!!! >:(
Just kidding. 😉 (Slash really is going through a divorce, but I don’t think even Mattel would be able to save him from some serious alimony payments.)
Local Abilene TX Kmart has the Mater The Greater 4-packs. They just restocked them a couple of weeks ago.
Have you seen what Target is charging for the 4 packs now? $29.99!!!! For four cars, that’s $7.50 a piece. I wouldn’t consider any one of these Heavy Metal cars a “deluxe” sized car. Collecting “Cars” has always been because “I want to”. Unless the price comes down on this set considerably, “I don’t want to”. As a side note, TRU has the four packs reduced right now to somewhere near $18.00. Probably don’t have Heavy Metal though. p.s. When I was in Utah a couple of weeks ago, Target was charging $19.99 for the four packs. NascarFan, are they still $19.99?
The increase to $29.99 just happened everywhere, presumably in anticipation of these new guys. You figure pittys are 2 for $5 in the Toons line-up, and McQueen has always been a regular sized Toon adding another $5. That means Mater is costing us $20? Unbelievable… Last I checked, he too was a single Toon (most of the time) in the $5 range. The other 4 packs were pretty bad at $20, but $30 now?!? Crazy Matty, crazy. Much love to Chris with tray on this score though!
Aw, shucks, Eric. I better get a big ol’ smooch when I put these in your hand! Thanks, Met, for the sweet post.
Wow, I really like this set but $30 plus tax is alittle steep for me. TRU is having a special for $18 which is a lot better price but like you said no heavy metal 4 set.
If anyone can find this set for a good price Im willing to purchase. My local targets which are 3 have empty pegs on the google eyes and final laps. Anyone in the NYC area having this shortage too? Its been almost 3 weeks.
I did check my Target in Los Angeles
SETS are 29.99
and in TRU 24.99
Must…resist…allure of…pitties!!
According to my cable co’s schedule, Heavy Metal Mater will air on Disney HD at 9:30pm on Friday, October 8th.
Seriously, though; the 4-pack is out in the US, but the episode hasn’t aired yet? What up wit dat?
Not that my Target will be unboxing anything new anytime soon. Pegs & shelves are still full of the same google-eyes and color-changers, haulers and Team Leakless sets that have been gathering dust since May. The “fresh food” section is complete, so it’s not like they need the swing space anymore, and they’ve been stocking the Halloween aisles (along with a couple of aisles of Christmas lights), so there is stock coming into the store. Just not CARS…
just called our local targets, not yet, and they will not hold anything either
This looks great … cannot wait to see one …. IN MY MAIL BOX … if this is the same DCPI as the old 4 packs …. I will never see it … all of the Targets near me still have 5 or more of the OLD 4 packs that were found hiding in the warehouse beind the pallets full of groceries … gotta love Target …. sigh … I can feel the white flag raising slowly for me … 🙁
wow gotta get it !!
Freebird!
I love this one!
BABY, BABY!
Remember our deal…
LOVE it…ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Radiator Springs!!!!!!!!!!
