Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Target January 2009

For newbies who have just joined this line – at most of the stores right now, the shelves/pegs look pretty enticing. CARS are colorful, there is a nice variety … most of the main characters (other than Sally & Lizzie) are on the shelves … to the fun Pitty’s to some cool “minor character” choices like Axel … plus a few McQueen’s to pick from πŸ™‚

So, that’s nice – anyone who is not collecting the line now gets a colorful over-view … and Target seems to have moved the short cards to an endcap side …

This is the first time I have ever seen the Dale Jr. short card actually on a shelf. (very bottom right) … I got an email from a reader saying their Target is going to re-load STORYTELLERS as an endcap.

Sadly, I don’t think the timing is right for the next set of STORYTELLERS to come …

Next New Storytellers are:

Bubba, Mater’s nemesis.

Buford, cousin – Buford.

Cousin Cletus.

Cousin Jud.

All from … Mater’s chapter in WORLD OF CARS – “HOOKWINKED.
“Mater wasn’t always a rusty old tow truck. Find out why he started driving backwards and how he lost his hood while having a truckload of fun”

But balanced out from a bunch of rusty CARS are theΒ  Motorama Girls that accompany Flo on her tour around the country in her chapter called “SHOWSTOPPERS.”

Of course, Flo is already out … (as a single for the first time).

Coming soon …

Laverne.

Rhonda and …

Sheila. These are only listed as singles.

I believe they only got approved at the beginning of December so my feeling is we’re still months away from seeing the 7 above, instead, I think it’s just a re-shipment of the first wave – hopefully at the new lower price.

All the info on the STORYTELLER SERIES and a visual checklist of the 3-packs (singles visual checklist coming).

Other possible STORYTELLER CARS from the book (post written before this post so some on the wish list are here πŸ™‚ ).

But maybe the other miracle is that the Target exclusive Movie Moments will finally hit the shelves …
