Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: If You’re Bored And You Know It, Look at Your Milton Calypeer Rear
When the crops lay fallow and there are grim, dark drought conditions throughout the land.
When your tears meander roughly down your dust coated face and you cannot even cry out – for your throat is parched from misery, despair and the howling winds of injustice?
Them try Hamm’s Beer – the Beer Refreshing!
Or take a look at your Milton Calypeer … You too might have an a** backwards license plate!
Yep, it’s that time of the year again.
Oh no, not the whole upside down license plate error thing again.
Milton says, “You’re looking at my what?!”
“Rump Shaker? Is that Jackie Gleason or the Andrew Sisters?”
Well, I’ve never seen a Milton on the shelf so good luck with that … 🙂
Jason T. who sent in the photo has at least two – discovered by “SumpOil.” Thanks for the pics.
Anyone else?
And mind the kids on your stampede to eBay 🙂

My Red vehicle from a couple years ago has an upside-down license plate.
Speaking of Red, couldn’t he also be re-scaled for the over-sized vehicles? Make him more like the ‘gentle giant’ he is.
If this is an applied sticker/decal, then I do not believe this is a variant. It may be an error or just sloppy production work. Does not warrant much of a premium in my book!
PS: Somebody on eBay is trying to BIN a packaging error for $50.00, the DocHudson/Ghostlight Ramone! Go figure!
Miltons were still hanging. Both had regular license plates as well as the two I have.
Cartoons and beer – what a perfect mix. That commercial reminds me of the Flintstones one where Fred and Barney are smoking cigarettes. =)

Hey there Dude-Met-Dude…
Just lookin’ at what’s comin’ in case H…
The Chase car os Ferrari F430 in Italian back – Right?
BUT THERE IS ALSO AN IMPOUND MCQUEEN?!?!?!
(MET: I posted an update a few weeks back saying it’s incorrect and no one claims so we’ll just have to wait and see …).
OOOO!!! So exciting!!!!!
I guess I will have to dig our Milton out from the huge tote that he is probably at the bottom of!
Isn’t that the truth! The one I’m looking for is always at the bottom!
I bought my son those containers that they did that post on a while ago and he doesn’t ever put the cars back in them. About once a week I go through and reorganize them.
Awwww!!! My Milton doesn’t have an up side down plate :(. I think I’m going to go out to the street and put the plate on my Toyota Corolla up side down! :). You can keep that Hamm’s beer. I first tasted it in the jungles of Vietnam in 105 degree heat, which turned me off Hamm’s for life! Same with Falstaff and Black Label. I can’t post here what they tasted like- family reading only! The officers in BTOC got the cold Budweisers :(.
(MET: You mean a dancing bear can’t make good beer? 🙂 ).
I’m originally from the east coast (New York). All I ever heard about was Coors! How great is was! How the transplants from the west went into withdrawal pains due to deprivation. That @#$% tasted like ^&&* also!
About 25 years ago when I was in college, we were all really poor and they had these cases of 24 Hamm’s they called Hamm’s suitcases. They were really cheap – like 4.99 – so we thought it was wonderful. Hah!
The store that never stocks around here had 2 Miltons hanging on an endcap…. Those are the only ones I’ve seen….. Yet I know they will be my last…. BTW, that was at WM, if you didn’t guess.
here’s another variant for you slicepie….better start checking your Miltons!!!!
Yep! A checking I will go!!
Slightly off subject, but has anyone noticed that all the hauler cabs and their trailers have the same license plates, except for mack and his trailer?
Wish I had a Milton to look at!
Is it just me or have the squirrels (or squirrel ghosts) got into the takefiveaday server as posts seem to come and go and disappear and reappear? :S
I have been noticing that lately too…I just thot it was another of making Canadians say WTH?
Yes I noticed this. Hence my double post earlier.
Closest I got to upside down was slightly skew!
I have probably 7 miltons at home… I will have to check them all out. I got some for my over seas friends 🙂
Nope, none of mine have the upside down plate!
Interesting. I will have to check the my Milton out when I get home; just found him this weekend at WM.
Nope, it’s right side up. So are all the Mia and Tia license plates too.
Time to check out all the other cars with plate and see what direction they are…
I appear to be cursed with right side up license plates on all my cars:
Mack Hauler: RUSTEZ3 (on Mack) and RUSTEZ4 (on trailer)
Dinoco Hauler: R6833 (on Gray and trailer)
htB Hauler: 7E K73 (on semi and trailer)
Octane Gain Hauler: 44 SDH (on semi and trailer)
Jerry Recycled Batteries: 7BL28 (on both)
Sorry, don’t have the Wally Hauler and haven’t opened the Leakless hauler yet (my son gets a new car (his choice) each week as a reward, he has yet to pick it out yet).
Mini Mack Hauler: RUSTEZ3 (on Mack) and RUSTEZ4 (on trailer)
Mini htB Hauler: 7E K73 (on semi and trailer)

LOL, the kids found some more:
Flo: SHO GRL
Leroy Traffic: 874LTK
Race Official: 9M2L7
I have 2 Miltons. Both have the correct plate. I did find a ROR Doc with a Ghostlight Ramone name ticket. Is that a common error?
Yes
if you can make it through the black and white commercial without smiling, then somethings wrong with you.
BTW, 11th !!!!
Man , I just left a couple on the shelf too. Would be interesting to see if they were errors, but I am sure they are gone now.
How many avatars have you had??? 🙂
I am having an identity crisis. lol
Have I hit my quota yet?
The one I REALLY want is a good screenshot of the ‘lost’ Van at the end of the movie. Can’t find one anywhere.
Check out lost-media.com; they have hi-res screen captures from all episodes. I’m sure you’ll find a good screenshot there.
LOL, sorry wrong ‘lost’…I thought you were talking about the blue VW vans from LOST, not Van and Mini after the credits ran…
It was lucky Jason had a second Milton for himself as the one he sent me I opened before I spotted the error. I’m going to check more carefully from now on. LOL
So Jason has the only sealed example so far.
It was lucky Jason had another because I didn’t spot the error on the one he sent me until after I’d opened him. I’m going to check my purchases thoroughly from now on. LOL
So Jason has the only sealed example so far.
And, Edwin and Milton have the same plates!
Yup! Mine do too. Reminds me of the car changing colors in the beginning of “Cannonball Run II.” But without Catherine Bach. Sigh…
I will check them out when I get home as I was lucky enough to find a few cases just on the pegs at WM two weeks ago. Nothing since, but was able to get the ones I needed.
The Plate on my Milton is the correct way up. How boring!
I’ve seen lots of Andrea in stores, and multiples of Chase Chuki. The only Milton Calypeer I’ve seen are the ones that I obtained in trades or purchases, and the one that came in my G case.
Oh come on, you mean to tell me that this car is actually available “in the wild”?? I thought you had to be part of some secret cult and sacrifice human flesh in order to obtain a Milton. So much for making Chuki the chase car in Case G!
😆 Spoken like a true Cdn FED UP with this BS…(that does NOT stand for Bumper Stickers either!)
Seems like Milton
Claypeer, Calypeer name will end up with as many variations asGrate, I meanGreata, I meanGreat, I mean Greta😆
Don’t forget
Crusin’Cruisin’ McQueen andLighteningLightning McQueen!Aw, now that Met has correct the spelling my post don’t sense make no more! ;(
That’s cheating Met 🙂 Now my post don’t sense make no more!!
(MET: Whatever are you talking about, I have absolutely 100% no idea 😛 ).
Mine are all upright.
I think I may have the first comment – a first for me!
Mine are all upright –
I’ve never been the first comment before.
HAVE A COLD REFRESHING HAMMS BEER ON US FOR BEING FIRST!! BATHROOMS THE SECOND DOOR ON THE LEFT TOO…
