Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: CASE J Next Ultimate Chase
The next case is NOT SCHEDULED yet and NOT in the warehouse yet so it might be several more weeks but here’s the listing anyway.
I hope you like Lightning McQueen’s and need a gaggle of them. You get 9 of them in the form of Lightning McQueen with Racing Wheel and Hudson Hornet Piston Cup (decal) Lightning McQueen.
Well, if you believe in conspiracy theories, since they have not re-released CARS 1 Lightning McQueen in the Radiator Springs Classic series, perhaps they feel you can’t wait and you will buy a CARS 2 one.
Yes, there’s another Petrov … 🙂
Though in this case, it’s Ultimate Chase Vitaly Petrov – Russia.
This prototype photo shows the 2-piece face Max Schnell body – it seems they have switched back to unibody versions so this photo should be outdated. Of course, for those hoping to collect Max Schnell with dozens of different mouth positions and expressions, we may be out of luck. 🙂
And the NEW CAR in this case is truly new – a never before casting!
The Galloping Grinder
Maybe they committed to doing this 5-second character because once you strip off the plastic, you have Stanley?
So, while this case does NOT contain a regular Chase, he is a super sweet design with a lot of details …
(Andy G. sends us a photo of the back – thanks Andy).
And yea, there’s no Regular Chase in this case, there’s 1 Ultimate Chase and 2 of the Galloping Grinder.
There is an altered twin of the J CASE again, it is the Y CASE … It is the exact same case except there’s a Professor Z instead of the Ultimate Chase, Russia in the case. As noted, the altered twin cases seem destined for mass market retail and these are for other resellers.
So, I think it’s too early for Children’sToyCloset & Rob’s Palace of Disney CARS to list them on the website but I’m sure they’ll be happy to take your pre-orders if you can’t wait. 🙂

I have abandoned all hope of ever seeing an ultimate chase car; my last great discovery was finding Vladimir Trunkov and Victor H. at Walmart. Since then the pegs are loaded up once again with dozens of Francescos. Target is no better off with dozens of Finns and TRU still has lots of McQueens. Kohl’s has had virtually nothing (New OR old) for quite a few months, too.
Surprise! Not an “Exclusive” or “Chase” and in a 28 pack box set!!! Must have GALLOPING GEARGRINDER!
Roughly calculating:
I estimate there are/were around 450K Mcqueens in cases D through Y if Mattel distributes 4k of the Ultimate chase cases and 16 K of the altered twin cases. and 20 K of the other cases.
Just a guess, but thats a lot of Mcqueens
I tried posting this on the altered twin thread!
Case assortment obviously stinks but the Gear Grinder is Sweeeeet.
agreed
Looks like Geargrinder will be the only one I need that I might find at retail.
Me too!
The only two I want in this case are Geargrinder and Vitaly Petrov.
Hey met, picture not showing in my browser (IE something)
Same here — first photo.

Another dozen or more cars for the charity shop! Geargrinder is what we want…new castings.
