Take Five A Day: The Book!
Of course, the book that covers the years 2006 & 2007 has been available but just a quick reminder for those who do not have it.
It covers the first two years of CARS collecting in much greater detail and is not a collection of just checklists. The book cost-per-page was that it was too costly to create all the possible checklists that the magazine can now do so – so it really the story of CARS, the diecast line – over 110 pages and over 300 high res photos of EVERYTHING released for CARS in 2006 & 2007 or from Desert Art to Supercharged to the opening salvo of World of CARS.
Volume II will be available in early 2010 covering 2008 & 2009.

hello, first I’m sorry for my bad english, so Living in france, how can I do to get the Volume 1 2 & 3 of your guide checklist
(MET: Right now, Magcloud only ships to US, Canada or the UK – sorry – hopefully Europe coming soon!).
Hi,
I’m in South Africa and the range of cars we get here, least to say, are quite pathetic. The only range we have had are the World of Cars. I’ve had to resort to ordering off Ebay
Haulers, Launchers, Car Toons etc. are non-existent here!
Anyway, thought I would just introduce myself and comment that I find this site extremely cool & informative although most times I read with envy the stuff you guys have available in the states!
dont feel too bad, I usually have to order online also even though im IN the states. I never find what I want in stores anymore. So its ok!
hello,
i am also new to this site and living in the sunny state of Queensland in Australia the shelves are barren for any of the cars that i have left in the collections that i am attempting to gather. the only way i have been able to collect any in series 1, 2, 3 or 4 is via ebay and the next step if i am unable to find the rest of my collection this way is via a few internet sites that i have found in america, the only thing holding me back is the postage and handling costs they want to charge me.
can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a purple ramone in the ROR mega size range, and number 12 in the ROR hauler range (don’t know his name but he is a green hauler with 82 shiny wax on the side of him) as i have been searching every where and can’t seem to find them. Hopefully someone can assist me on my quest.
Cheers
(MET: You should post in the TRADING POST your wants and needs – plus you can see what is up for sale. Hi Low Ramone has not been released and not scheduled so no need to look for it son. Shiny Wax Hauler should be out son but not out yet. Good luck!)
Hey all,
Found a Lightning McQueen, a Mater, and a Cow Tractor at a garage sale. The LMQ and Mater are metal, each about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide with hard plastic wheels that roll. The tractor is spring loaded so that when you pull back on it, it tips backwards and races forwards making a snoring sound.
I would love to find more CARS like this, but I can’t find any of a similar scale anywhere! Does anyone know what I have and if there are more characters available?
I have photos that I can send to help identify.
Maybe the Disney Store?
The best thing I can tell you is to visit these websites to find stores nearest where you’ll be. I’ve input the Zip Code for LaGuardia Airport (11369) to get you the nearest stores.
