Disney Pixar D23 Expo: Finn McMissile, CARS Presentation + Rest
The event runs 3-days, you can buy tickets by day or for all three days.
For CARS 2, Mattel has created a Finn McMissile.
No additional photos but here’s a shot of the outside PAPER box. Yes, it looks like wood but no, it’s not a mini wood crate …
Original post HERE.You can pre-order at Matty to pick up at Mattel’s booth at the D2 Expo. There is an apparent limit of 6 pre-orders and your credit card info has to match your badge. But beyond that, you should be able to place as many separate orders as you can handle.
They will also sell these at the Mattel booth – of course, pre-ordering means you can pick them up at your leisure any of the three days but at SDCC, they managed to screw that up and some people were left holding a voucher and no merchandise because they sold out or couldn’t figure out the correct inventory.
Keep in mind this is NOT SDCC and there will not be 120,000 people. Most people going are Disney-Disneyana fans and there are shows, presentations and events going on all day to pull people away from the shopping areas.
I have no idea how many they produced but for geeks, I can tell you there’s 16 to a case.
So, what day should you go?
Obviously, if you’re most interested in buying merchandise, you can be pretty safe going on Friday.
If you are going more for Pixar presentations?

Can anyone tell me how much the D23 Finn mcmissile Will cost at the show
You have to pre-order on MattyCollector.com, and that price is $19.99, but I do not know if they charges sales tax.
PLUS, just to get into D23, it’s something like $47.
yes California state tax applied when these were preordered.
even at the event they are charging sales tax too
Cars 2 Submarine Finn McMissile
Disney • Pixar Cars
$19.99
British Master Spy Finn McMissile has the gadgets to prepare for any mission — even if it’s underwater! Commemorate the iconic scene from Cars 2 when Finn McMissile transforms himself into an underwater Submarine to escape Professor Z and his Minions. This D23 exclusive features a 1:55th scale, die cast Submarine Finn McMissile. The diorama package brings the underwater scene to life with Finn in his submarine mode and his ejected tires floating to the surface.
Available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com from 8/8/11 9 a.m. PT through 8/12/11 11:59 p.m. PT, while supplies last. There are no refunds and pre-orders must be picked-up at D23 Expo. Limitations apply; please click here for details

I wonder what happens if you place an order but don’t pick it up.
Believe it or not some goofs tried it at SDCC.
Mattel is fighting the chargebacks that these people are asking for refunds.
However, I think Mattel should worry about the Back to the Future cars that were set out with no car, no display case.
nana-nana-nana
hehehe…. I will be there …..
Next time- your turn, Jeff!
2008 Gentle Giant SDCC exclusives 3 different paperweight crates:

And the Hasbro Exclusive
Raiders of the Lost Ark mail in promo.
Indiana Jones Monopoly game in the wooden crate
( Dont even talk dirty to me about that CCR set, I have been thinking about buying it for awhile
That’s funny, I have too, but the old vinyl just feels better for these particular albums. I’d love to hear the Pollywogs (sp?) tracks though.
Wait I’ve seen that wooden crate packaging before… the CCR compact disc collection?
Hey Met:
You forgot this one at D 23 too:
POP! Vinyl Lotso Flocked Figure
The Fire Wire brings us the news that Disney will have a Flocked Lotso figure (meaning it will have a “peach fuzz” feel to it). The Lotso figure is a variant of the 13th figure in the Disney POP! Vinyl series. There is a limited edition of only 480 pieces and it will retail for $15.00.
I am sure we will be seeing more Pixar collectibles that will be available for sale at D23. Stay tuned for more updates!

They should have made the Finn with Shootable Plastic Torpedos in his Headlights and they fire by pressing his back window, pull-out Submarine fins, the ability to pull out his wheels, and other gadgets and trinkets that come with it. But I guess Mattel thinks it would be too hard to make that, even for an exclusive. I would have bought that Car for sure!
Yes, I would have requested someone to get one of those for me. Like the larger plastic version, just in 1:55 scale!
We are still taking names for that Buyers List too !!
nascarnbroncosfans@msn.com
Thanks to the wonderful people of take5, owning one of those is now a reality!
Wow…I’m lucky this is FAR away and not next door at WDW…
This looks like a BLAST! Do they do one of these in Orlando?????? We might be all in if they do! Micky-fam, you gonna join us?? 😀
You bet we’d be there 🙂
Seems like a fun time… however, I wish they’d open up sales to everyone, as if you’re not in the area of the show it means it’s hard if not impossible to participate… I’m beginning to think that Mattel’s “Collect the all” means only the ones they want us to have.
