Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Haulers of 2009
From those out now to the rest of 2009* – here’s a high res to low res of what’s out and what’s coming …
Hard to believe there were people who didn’t believe in this line …
The Peterbilt Boys are here also …
Coming after that – Trunk Fresh …
Always classy in black …
Then Peterbilt #2 …
The last two definitely on the list are not listed in any order so (rolls dice) …
No Stall hauler & Sidewall Shine hauler … at this point, we are in September 2009 and 2009 will be over according to Mattel marketing & distribution.
(Piston Cup Racer shown for kicks, not included 😉 ).
While the expression will be different, here’s RPM Semi … if I had a photo of RPM hauler, I can’t find now 🙁 … and yes, Shiny Wax hauler is on the list for 2009 so presuming it gets released …
At this point, @6 months from now, we’ll have 11 PISTON CUP RACER Haulers released (not all haulers, just Piston Cup haulers) released … leaving us about 25 PC Haulers to go with about 21 months until CARS 2 is released … while there’s no reason Haulers can’t continue to come out after CARS 2 is released … though of course with RV’s added to the hauler list?
It’s time to quicken the pace … 27 Piston Cup Haulers + 4 Non Piston Cup Haulers + 10 RV’s? Looks like it’s time for two a month … ’cause when CARS 2 rolls around, we’ll want the ships, planes & motorbikes from the next film … so more haulers, please!
(Anyone doubt we’ll see other retail haulers like TRU or Target? … How about a Pixar hauler? After all, Buzz, Mike and the other Pixar star CARS have to make track appearances, right – you don’t expect them to drive themselves?)
And of course, we need the Futurliner-like transporter from Storytellers 🙂

Martin, Nice to see you popping in.
Wish you were still “ONLINE with the line”.
Does anyone know where to buy the peterbilt hauler?
Target/Walmart/Kmart
I have one – $15 plus shipping if you want it. Email me @ Slicepie@roadrunner.com
What is “Walmart”?
A question: Do all the piston cup haulers do the same and have the same inside?
you want to know something well EBAY has the no stall hauler as a pre sale!
Haulers will not get lenticular eyes as they are new. The agreement with JL is that new charcters have to be sold as non lenticular Classics first. Then, after a certain time they can come with the lenticular windshields. It does get a little tricky as we had to retool some of the castings in order to be able to insert the new windshield.
Then the new Package, new callout, etc. gives me a headache just remembering the logistics of it all……………
Oh, I forgot I had a picture of my version of what Hollywood Harv might look like. As well as how The Brand New Mater arrived in Radiator Springs in the beginning.
So what does one do with TWO Extra Wal-Mart Trucks, One Extra Jerry, and One Extra DINOCO… Why Paint them of course:
