Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: 6-Packs Next + 2 More Mini MSOS Piston Cup Racers
There are more MINI “6-packs” coming.
The Target.com does have some listed online but the only NEW one listed is the Hot Rod 6-pack …
For those collecting all along, these are all repeats – except that some of these are available for the first time outside of the Target holiday or other MINI exclusives.
Though for MINI completists, you do have to look carefully as in some cases, the eyes were switched from stickers to decals or as in the case of the Sarge set …
If you look below, some of the MINI’s (from the official mattel PR photo) were photographed from earlier releases … but if you look closely at the ones actually released in the box set above – different.
So, while Camo Mack is technically the only MINI in the set, there are four variants:
In the Sarge Boot Camp box: Mater comes with decal eyes, Fillmore is several shades darker, Sheriff comes with decal eyes and camo McQueen is a much darker camo. Mack is new, as noted and Sarge is the same. So, if you count variants, the box actually contained 5 new MINI’s so until the set actually comes out, it’s hard to tell if it’s new or really “new.”
Another coming next is the Dinoco 6 Pack Set
Mia & Tia are new and Dinoco Chick Hicks has only been released with sticker eyes so presumably, he will be decal eyes in this release. Dinoco Hauler & Semi count as two MINI’s BTW.
And just released … The Piston Cup Gift Pack.
One of the best releases with everything new except for Lightning McQueen (though Mack & hauler were released – first release of Mack “Semi” only though).
Man, I miss the big screen …
It takes a lot longer to cover 500 miles though…
How can you resist collecting us?
No one has seen my hauler?
Mack Semi … um, same as he ever was (just without the hauler part).
Here is where we stand on the MINI Speedway …
Where do you stand on the MINI Speedway of the South?
Other Piston Cup MINI’s coming?
At least 4 more …

any news on when we may see the mini helicopters?
(MET: Might be in next MINI Case).
n20 cola and octane gain looks cool.
i wish i had em.
eny way i think the diecast is better than the minis.
We found the Piston Cup Gift Pack at Target yesterday; it’s so cool. Is the Dinoco set supposed to be released at the same time? We didn’t see that one
Hey All,
I have made a mini checklist that has pictures as well of everything released…its on carsthetoys.yuku.com…if you go to disney pixar cars and then at the top mini checklists, mine is the list for people who collect on card….I wish I could put it on this site as well as I would rather that…maybe I should ask met…email me if you can’t find it but it is up to date and complete with everything minis…hope this helps

I’m also starting to get interested in the Minis, but it’s hard to get interested when checklists are so hard to find for the set.
Anyone have a lead on a good one?
So just out of curiosity why do mqueens eyes suck and the other racers look awesome!? Even in the new piston cup pack you would have thought that mattel could fix him!! Ugh! I love the mini racers and haulers!!!
Where can we find a list of everything mini released to date? (if there is one)
The racers look great.
Cute……….but I’ll pass………
Me too . . . . resist . . . I will NOT buy them . . . I will stay METAL . . . I promise!!
They are sooo cute though… It’s easier for the kids to set them up and play with.. 🙂
BAH HUMBUG!!! 😆
BTW, where is my email . . . is your house quite yet?!?!
Nope!!! One more week!! 🙁
bob and darrel were on toysrus back in the spring other than that the only racers I’ve found are chick, lightning.
I can’t wait to see the mini racers in person esp. tank coat.
That Hot Rod pack on top of the page has been available in Europe for ages.
uh, where in europe?
Motorized Chick with Trailer and Dinoco MQ with Trailer are available at Zellers in Canada, so you can tack on another racer to the list above.
(MET: Green Chick not out in the US yet).
But Green Chick comes with the motorized trailer.
Will be in the US very soon, given our release history.
Why is the tractor painted with flames? Did Ramone go on an Octane bender one night, and then snuck out to the fields with his airbrush?
Now that Mattel seems to be sticking with more realistic Cars and got rid of the sticker eyes these are looking really good. Still searching for Shiny Wax/RPM; hopefully these will be easy to find!
They are so cute, my daughter is going to flip! I can’t let her see there is a tank coat mini, as we haven’t seen and she would be mad if she knew it was out there somewhere and not with her collection. Can’t wait for the new haulers, too, as we love the mini Mack hauler. I love how it even opens in the back.
I’ve got a couple if you need one — JohnJurgovan (AT) aol (DOT) com

First. Hey did they make a Tachomint mini yet?
