Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: The D23 Expo 2013 CARS Are …
Every other year, Disney holds an their own trade, craft & toy show where Disney offers you more things to buy than you can shake a stick at … (Disney will also sell you the stick to shake at the Disney too many things to shake a stick at with a Disney stick). It’s called the D23 Expo. It’s starts August 9th this year. The last one in 2011, Mattel offered the special packaging Finn McMissile with a Top Secret Purple Finn McMissile.
The 2013 offering at the D23 Expo this year from Mattel should be a massive upgrade.
It’s NOT 100% certain so for now, it’s looking very likely it’s …
The Convoy Brothers!
The RV King fans from CARS 1.
It looks like they will appear 2 to a display so if for some oddball reason, if you only want K & I or N & G – you can buy one or the other set.
Why? I’m presuming they thought $99.99 might be too big of a deal to swallow so they decided that by charging $49.99 a set, that it seems “affordable,” … and Matty presumes we can’t add. I don’t know if this is true but who would buy only 2 of a 4 RV set that spells out a word?
I actually do not know what it will cost but I originally figured a 4-pack would cost at least $79 to $99 but now that they are 2 2-packs, it will “seem” more affordable now that it’s “only” $49 for Set #1 and $49 for Set #2 or maybe more.
And of course, they could go back to it being a 4-pack which of course would be much more logical … or a worst idea, they make thousands more of one set than the other so hundreds of people are forced to go through life with a K & a G and be forced to answer questions from guests, “Why didn’t you buy all 4?” :-/
Believe it or not, these were scheduled in 2009 so now 4 years later, they might actually be available.
Of course, it’s not a 100% lock until it’s actually listed but at least it’s back on the maybe-almost-certain list.
And if you enjoy looking at the land of lost diecasts, you can check the Top 10 Poll requested from Mattel a while back.
So, who’s going to D23 now? 🙂

Do you have to attend all 3 days to get this exclusive set, or is one day enough?
One day, but that’s providing they don’t sell out before you get there on any given day. They will most likely have daily allotments “On Hand”
This is awesome news! Can’t wait to see what they look like. So far I’m 2 for 2 from the survey. lol Barry Diesel was my #1 pick. Convoy Bros. was my #2 pick. I guess we will see if Trev the Train is coming next.
Can people actually get more than 1 of these/each? It doesn’t seem like something they would even allow….
But, I NEED!!
Yes, If you go back through the line several times. Its work, but thats what I am here for at least.
And they don’t care that you go through multiple times? Or do you change disguises? 😀
6 items per transaction, per person, per trip through the line. Same as SDCC always has been.
I’ll be going to D23 this year as well. I’m also making sure to bring enough people with me to make sure we’re able to pick up the exclusive items.
Are there any pre-orders being offered by Mattel or any other company?
(MET: last time, Mattel offered pre-order pickup which I presume they will do again – there will be some limit per person/credit card).
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed theeeeeeeeeeeeeeem!
sounds like the new bessie chase to me
i will have to get it asap
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I HOPE IT’S TRUE! Guido, punch me in the face!!! Lol
Sent you an email NascarFan
I am going for sure.

I DO NOT need prepayments or deposits yet. Let wait until later in May, 2013 before we even get to the funds / financial part.
(MET: And it’s not 100% confirmed – we should know in a couple months if everything is locked in place).
Met: thank you.
Note: There is a fee for this. 11.00 each over actual costs. I live almost 700 miles away from Anaheim, California.
Shipping is NOT included. I do not know what the dimensions/weights are, what boxes I will need, actual prices. Shipping will include 10% over because of materials costs.
This will be billed later AFTER they ship out, same as always. You guys trust me with your funds to get these, I trust you to pay the shipping after they ship out.
Clarification: 11.00 for ONE set of 2 Rv’s.
If this changes to a set of four in ONE box set then it remains the same, 11.00 each item.
Also, 1.00 of each transaction will go towards mittens – hats / toys – hotwheels – Disney Cars purchases for homeless children at Christmas time 2013.
You donate 1.00, I will match it.
You get to choose what I buy for your donation.
Many of you have your own USPS / UPS / Fed Ex accounts. You can buy your own shipping label and email me a PDF file that I can print out for you to send your package.
NEEEEEEEEEEED.
Last week a little birdie told me about these as a possible D23 offering, which got me a little excited. Then, my very trusted source also stated that, unlike Barry Diesel, these are expected to be mostly diecast. That got me very excited! Can’t wait for these to come out!!
Anyone taking orders?
Ditto! I must say, and for the first time ever…. OMG!
These will be amazing! It will be tough for someone to take a lot of orders because of the size…they’ll be able to name their price!
Ill pay a premium. Not to crazy but I would ask the same due to the difficulty.
I definitely need these guys.
Is it one per person or like SDCC where you can pay someone in advance to get them for you?
Do you have to go to the convention to get these or can you order them? If you do need to go anyone who is going please PM me, I want a set!!!
R.M RV
Larry RV
Albert Hinkey RV
The Convoy Brothers: Great for a four pack
Syd Vanderkamper RV
I voted for these as my top 5 in the survey. Does this mean we will see Albert Hinkey RV someday?
These would be awesome to display alongside Barry Diesel and the Elvis RV! I definitely want a set too!
WOW!!!! This is a huge step up from the Submarine Finn McMissile last Expo… sign me up for this one!!
Our long time dreams are coming through,
oh my this is amazing, I want 2 of KI and 2 of NG sets!
I hope they are diecasts!
Best idea Disney has had for these expoes.
Let the RV army begin!
Gosh, I was so hoping for Hydrofoil Finn McMissile to go along with my Submarine Finn from last year…
That will be.. NEAT!!!!
Time to save up for the Convoy Brothers… hope this comes true – this is great news!
