Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: Let’s Do the Target Time Warp … Again

“Celso” steps into the Target Wayback machine … BOOING … what month is it?

The questions raised from seeing this case are almost equally scary – does Mattel still have this case left in the warehouse? After about a year? Or did Target finally sell enough to pull this out of overstock? YIKES! Thanks for the photo “Celso.”

This is the pegs at a store in the SF Bay Area, way back … way, way back … what case was this again?

And these are back – this store had at least 8 of them so I’m presuming it’s a new shipment and not been on the shelves for 3 years … so I guess more Toons SKU’s are coming back?

    Where did that new 7 pack with Polly P and Coriander come from?? Did I miss something?? Is that Red Piston Cup fan a new release?

    (MET: Here’s the intro post).

  • Mariela says:

    Same as my Target, those Chases are back, well actually they just appeared for the first time there! 😕

  • Steve AKA: Poppa says:

    Single pegs are a disaster at all stores. One Target did get some of the new seven packs in! Basically the entire toy section looks bad. I feel for any kids that has a birthday in January or early February.

  • Jinzo says:

    Wow… really wish my Target look like that… really… All my Target has is Finns… every single peg packed with Finns… Wish I could see LMQ or Mater at best… it is that bad 🙁

  • Frank says:

    I wished my Target has what Celso has. Mine just got a case in but it’s the stuff in the second photo (w/ Mel, Guido & Luigi, Carlo Maserati)

  • carslover says:

    my target did get all the singles shown in the pics at one time or another
    currently all they have is francesco X 17 and 4 – 7 packs with david hobbscapp
    i have yet to see any of the 2013 7 packs or any 2013 singles past case B

  • bamcars says:

    Saw the same Officer Murakarmi case yesterday at my local Target!

  • twins081700 says:

    At least the pegs are not full of Finns like my local Target, which never received the famed Case N of 2012. So, perhaps this is what I have to look forward to whenever someone buys ALLLL the Finns. Likewise, as others have said, I have never seen the Bindo/Prince case anywhere. But this also goes for 2012 Case N and 2013 Case A, and on and on…

  • BMW says:

    A Super Target where I found Case N 2012 and Case B 2013 in mid December, has as of today, pegs filled with Petrov Trunkov, Mcqueens and Francescos.

  • brittanycenter2007 says:

    I have never seen the case with Becky and Officer Murakami (sp?) in stores, I looked everywhere for them last year…… Same with the geargrinder and the cases with RIP, prince, the queen, funny car mater, and I could just keep going but ill stop there! It just seems like the pegs in our local stores are filled with Finns and mcqueens and they are not going anywhere! 🙁

    One of the Yahoo’s front page stories today talks about Mattel’s sales being down over the holidays. The biggest loss was blamed on Cars 2 toys.

    Hmmm… I wonder why …..

    “Sales at Mattel’s entertainment business, which includes electronic games, were down 13 percent, mainly on weak demand for “Cars 2″ movie-themed toys.”

  • John says:

    At least that Target has the 2013 two packs, our Targets are still putting out Zen Master and Timber two packs.

    (Get a two pack free with purchase of a Quick Changer play set at TRU!)

  • BMW says:

    I remember doing the Target time-warp.
    It’s astounding.
    Not for very much longer.

    Love Rocky Horror, just not at Target!

    In all seriousness, I was told there is something messed up at Target
    distribution centers.

  • RodredlineM19 says:

    My Target got in Case Q last week… and not the one with Cartney 🙁

  • jestrjef says:

    I have seen both of those cases in my target in the last 2 weeks. Just last month they had the RIP case … makes no sense … way to clogs up the pegs and prevent new stuff from hitting :–(

  • hostile takeover banker says:

    Hahah!! ALL the pegs look like that around here… of course, no chase cars are left though. Or they are full of the Metallic cars.

  • cac1959 says:

    I’ve never seen the singles E case with Chase Becky and Officer Murakarmi in a store.

    • John in Missouri says:

      I’ve seen every 2011 & 2012 case multiple times in Target, Walmart, and Kmart, but have NEVER seen the Prince Wheeliam / Bindo case ANYWHERE.

    • OzzieMum says:

      Cac1959 – I think they sent most of those to Australia, at one point the pegs were full of them! Wasn’t much of a “chase” to get them over here.

  • John in Missouri says:

    My Target had the Becky Wheelin / Officer Murakarmi case this week too.
