Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Mater Tall Tales – O Canada Has Some …
In Canada … Mater Tall Tales singles have arrived.
These are definitely the international ones with the multiple languages.
Is that second one German? Humm, what is the direct translation of nurse – what are the words that comprise of “nurse” 🙂
Das Dos Pitty’s …
As for the US, there’s good news & there’s bad news.
The good news is they are no longer in the warehouse.
The bad news is it appears they have been early shipped to someone … that being TRU, Walmart or Target …
The other bad news is that there did not seem to have been a lot in the warehouse … so there might be gap between shipments and store availability but then what else is new?
Trunk Fresh Pitty for $4.69 anyone?

We’re moving to Canada!!! Make room, PirateDad!!!
You are sleeping in the barn!!
And you can eat the hay!
HEY!!! I’m not sharing the barn with anyone else…
“Trunk Fresh Pitty for $4.69 anyone?”
Too late…my Target was jam-packed with Lightning…it almost blinded me! I watched as a little boy and his Dad came through the aisle, and the Dad remarked, ‘they just have Lightning…nothing new.’
is there any differences between the two ‘orderly pitties’?
I believe that ONE of them is DIS-orderly!
The Pitties are both the shorter stocky body type, but their facial expressions are different! #5 looks happy to be a t work, with a smile and teeth showing, while #6 looks more like he just passed gas!!!
They also have different eye positions and eyelids!!!
Way to go Mattel…or should I say Mr. Martin Arriola
Happy Orderly got with one of the Nurses…the same one Backed-up Orderly wanted.
I’m hoping the Pitty’s from Mater the Greater will have a fully-functinal fire extinguisher packaged with them.
Sorry for hijacking this thread but have you seen that 1:24 Die-Cast Lightning McQueen is available at Matty Collector for… oops $45!?

Cheers
(MET: In last week’s post).
Pay attention… if you don;t get to Take5 everyday, you have to read the post from oldest to newest…no skipping posts!!!
lol 😀
Yes, we all ordered ours on MONDAY at Noon Eastern, did we leave some behind? I know my wallet is lighter!
I know, OUCH.
Im going to have to practice Britt’s “but honey I only spend $3 per car…..” heh heh
$45 is insane. They can keep it!
Got mine in the mail today! Afraid to open it.
Hah! I’ll believe it when I see it 😉
FYI. The picture of Nurse Kori in the blister is actually Nurse Mia or Tia.
(MET: Yea, because Nurse Kori is only seen mostly out of frame).
Well, since most Cars go THROUGH Canada, it only makes since they should be allowed to keep a few up there before sending the rest to other countries. Looks like someone in Mattel took a rational thinking class. Or maybe PirateDad was laying siege to the Mattel distribution center, demanding that they not send them all to Jake….
I’m still waiting for that lost semi driver who decides to drop off an entire truckload of Cars at my house.
Yeah, me too: I think he was one of those guys who drove to the right address, but in a different country.
I fit 14 Cars in my saddle bags AND a HSM 2 pack of Troy and Gabriella…can;t go home with new toys for PirateSon and nothing for PiratePrincess after all.. knot the same as a truck showing up at your door, but still kinda cool!!!
Wow Pirate SANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, but we need these in the USA market, so everyone can learn new languages! Cars the educational toys.
Cool! PirateDAD has somthing to HUNT other than WOOD!!! 😆
PirateDad SCORED!!!! GOT them ALL…. there were 14 left, I assume a case of 18….only got one set of Pitties…wonder which 4 were missing….I am thinking the other person bought all but Burnt LM, but don;t know for sure! Plus, I ended up on a 3 hour motorcycle ride with a buddy, so total WIN-WIN!!!
ConeGrats!!! 😀
You should know, you was there!!! you have mail!
Gasp!!!! Soooooo jealousssss!
Meee toooo!!!!

I agree…I have been google mapping the TRU locations with 2 hours of me…hahahahha, might have a LOT of motorcycle rides this weekend!!!

Hey I got a $2 clearanced Trunk Fresh Pitty the other day at a Wal-Mart.
He was the last mainline single, and someone wrote on the card with a pen.
Oh yeah bring on the Cars Toon stuff!
The packaging on these is 50 times better than any previous Cars release.
I agree…the card back seems to be thicker again too…sturdier…the back is all wood grain…LOVE it!!!

Krankenhaus means hospital, literallyn Sick House. That I remember from my childhood years in Germany. Kranken means “sick”. Kranken (sick) schwester (nurse, also sister) So Sick Nurse. or for fun, Sick Sister….German is fun.
(MET: Thanks, it looked like a couple words jammed together).
Sick Sister, I think I saw them play in 1991…
That’s what makes Deutsch so FUN!!!
Actually the correct translation is Hospital Nurse. But I was making a literal word relationship , which is nonsense sometimes!
(MET: I did want the literal translation … it’s kind of like HOT DOG – the literal translation is much more fun 🙂 ).
O Canada! Glad to see you guys get new stuff. After all they are imported by Mattel Canada, which I never understood
i want these!!!!!!!!
