Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2: The Clearance Has Begun …
Well, it’s no real shock with poor alignment of tactical and strategic decisions regarding pricing, assortments, distribution, selection, and shipping numbers, it’s time to pay the piper or the consolidator …
You can pick up the playsets for $10 and Finn & Mater diecasts for a couple bucks … or this weird line extension … a 1:32 (ish) scale all-plastic CAR for $5 (or 30% more than a metal diecast) … at $3, it’s a more reasonable pricing …
This is not from Mattel but strange – when is bath time family board game night in the bathtub?
Isn’t bath time – get in, get out – stop wasting water? π
Especially for a game with two game pieces but more rules than Dugeons & Dragons?
And the warning to RETAIN THIS BACK PANEL THROUGH THE LIFE OF THIS PRODUCT.
If you thought the mattress police was bad, Seal Team 33 will be on the roof and through your bedroom window in 4 seconds flat if you even THINK about discarding the back instructions. Where your mortgage papers, and grandma photos from 1899 go, so goes this instruction sheet.
Of course, it really, really, really pays to read EVERY label … otherwise your family will get the FINEST … Grated Italian Topping … yep, it does not even say cheese-like or cheese flavoring – you get what you pay for. π
Yellow edible powder … I’m guessing edible since they are exceeding honest – you have to give them that.
And when they say ‘old world,’ I guess they meant if you licked the walls of a prison barge in 1876, it probably tasted like this.
But hey, if your kids can’t read – or they are just gosh darned spoiled, “AN IPAD? This is not an iPad2!” a sprinkling of this on their spaghetti or Finn McMissile … the perfect stocking stuffer? π

I’ll check it out; but I’m scared to click your link. What is pntra. com?
(MET: That’s our affiliate link but CM is right, for some reason, it’s not working).
The link didn’t show up poperly. Here is the link for the Cars section of Mattel’s site:

Mattel extended the 20% off.
I noticed a sale at a Target today — $3 singles, and a reduced price for the 4 and 7 packs.
Those Bath Tub Board Game instructions are nothing compared to the ones for Happy Fun Ball.
There is way too much junk that Disney licensed for Cars 2.
Shoooooooot… I got Cars 2 stuff on clearance 2-3 months after the movie was released. 1 Target local to me was blowing out stuff for some odd reason. I got the 4 pack of lights and sounds cars and the RC Lightning and Franceso for 75% off.
I found the $25 Black Friday Walmart exclusive mega set (3 playsets in 1) for $15 in Indianapolis last night… I bought 1… Singles were $2.50 at this store as well… nothing newer than Lewis Hamilton and Carla Maserati… but loads of the pegwarmers.
The board game is too funny. It even comes with game pieces guaranteed to choke the baby AND clog the drain. Thanks for the hilarious post.
So does this mean Justice stores may be slashing their singles price down from $9.99 to $9.95?
I would like to find that Bath Tub Board Game. Maybe it would make getting my kid in the tub easier!
