Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Target Final Lap CARS Street Date 10/11/2009
Final Lap Street Date – October 11, 2009.
Unless you have cute kids … then it’s the law of the jungle (gym).
Hey, dad, look what I found on the backroom! That tiny red shirt you carry around and make me wear has finally paid off! 🙂
SCORE!
Take 2 – first pictures blurry on edges – we have high standards here at Take 5. Re-enactment. I see you have them well schooled in acting school 🙂
WooHoo! Final Lap CARS – I feel like I’ve waited a third of my life for these!
800 yards later – still unopened – IMPRESSIVE WILLPOWER!
Thanks for the fun pics, Jack P.
Thanks for DPCI numbers, ” plm171″ of 087070116.
Yes, your mileage will vary in calling the stores.
The official SHELVE-BY date is 10.11.2009 which in reality means very little because all it takes is ONE person to okay the sale and unless that store gets a re-shipment, hasta …
So, if you get a no, can’t sell ya – try another store or simply call back later. You never know 🙂 … especially on the weekend. Good luck.
Thanks to “Nikko,” here are some photos of the latest CARS to add to the collection.
Blowing Bubbles Mater seemed more cute than necessary but the execution is great.
In a word – HE-LARIOUS. He funny.
Comparison to Regular Mater … they have managed to shave another 5 grams of weight from Mater … I believe that front face plate with the bubble is all plastic but in a way that makes sense – they had to make a new face plate anyway and instead of trying to create one metal with a plastic bubble, might as well go all plastic …
Cute as a bug (and tiny) Polly Puddlejumper.
Definitely different than the Showgirls … and that nice Dinoco Blue …
While Skip is not the most exciting CAR visually – still nice to have another CAR from the film.
As noted in earlier posts, classy and world class card design … no poster.
Original singles card size … so all your display cases work 🙂 … 18 to a CASE.
The rest of the CARS on the new card are HERE.
Case Assortment is:
4 Polly Puddlejumper
4 Skip Ricter
4 Blowing Bubble Mater
2 Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen
2 King
1 Brand New Mater
1 Fabulous Hudson Hornet
So, now that .1% of collectors are set … I know, hey, what’s in CASE B of the Final Lap CARS …
We have no idea since it’s Target but there was a “Final Lap” list … of course, it’s just a list and NOT a case assortment breakdown …
With the release of 7 CARS on this list (well, really 5 since King & Brand New Mater were not on the original list) … we can now break them out into 4 groups …
Working backwards …
GROUP 4 – Definitely released in CASE A. Will some return in CASE B – most likely – especially the “new” CARS.
GROUP 3 – No one is shocked there are older CARS in the mix but these are specifically on the Final lap list making them more likely to show up but they could easily pull a surprise and add in someone like King or Brand New Mater. There are over 90 to choose from 🙂
GROUP 2 – Wild Cards. These were CARS listed in the Collectors Booklet of 2009 but have not gotten a release yet so likely to show up soon.
GROUP 1 – These are the new CARS specifically listed on the Final Lap list.
CASE B might be something like 2 each of the NEW CARS from CASE A, 4 EACH of 2 new CAR (Group 1 or 2) and 4 “classics re-release” … Will we actually go two releases without Lightning McQueen? 🙂
Rich E sends us a pic of his latest find …
Yep, Crew Chief & Pitty Teams … out now or another early escapee …
So, October 11, 209 might be that fabled Shockapee-like Crazy CARS-Day at Target 🙂
Maybe Storytellers also?
And-Or the 4-Pack Piston Cup Racers?
Or of course, crazy TakeFiver’s will have already raided every Target backroom by the 11th so the only thing to put out will be ‘Smack & Yak’s.

Checked my Target this afternoon and Storytellers were in the house. They had 12 cases and I even got to look at a case (it had re-releases) Alas the manager showed up and said they can’t be sold until 10/11. I’ll be back!!
Checked our nearest Target today. Nothing in back, no sign of them on order yet, but at least the system recognized the DPCI.
“It has BEGUNNNNNNNNNNNN” Mortal Kombat theme music kicks in. LOL 😀 I’ll try to get them early but have to see… no wonder I couldn’t find them under the same DPCI of the regular ones. 🙁 Can’t wait to get them
where is tach-o-mint, will tach still be on the toys r us promo, i thought it was september,, or gask-its, whats up
(MET: It is/was supposed to start 10.1 … kind of suspicious we have not heard anything …).
any chance on them canceling again, gask its is out on another promo, tach was shown as a launcher, any chance on gask its being the new us promo and tach on the wait list until released as a launcher..
(MET: I would say that nothing has leaked out with just a few days to go makes me very, very, very suspicious).
l Iove your daughter’s expression!!
Can’t find any yet over here…you were lucky to get the hole case!!
Is “Luke Pettlework” one of the Dinoco pittys?
(MET: Yep).
Sorry, I know he’s a Dinoco pitty, is he in the set?
Yes, he is the wide pitty, closest to dinoco crew chief
those lucky children. i guess red shirts do pay off.
Scored the first round of Final Lap cars today!! Thanks Met for the heads up!
Great to here that Glenn!
Picked up two cases this morning in VA, and I don’t even have any cute kids. 😉
Thats ok. They can’t ALL be cute.
LOL. I guess I shoulda said, ;I don’t even have kids, cute or otherwise.”
That was a GOOD one!!!
Maybe it’s you’re boyish charm?
Actually, it’s my stealthy ninja warrior skills…I’d in and out with the goods before they know what hit ’em.
I just love it when an Ebayer can’t even spell!
Here’s someone trying to sell crappy customs.
Lighting Mqcueen if you use his spelling technique:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110436637711&fromMakeTrack=true
LOL. I guess that’s why no one is bidding 😉
I’ve also seen Lightening (as in “to lighten”).
Hey, most kids could design that custom:
“Hey Billy, take this hammer and bash around Lightning. Also, can you throw him onto the driveway a couple times?”
Did you checkout his others?
Mud Lighting Mqcueen?

Here’s HIS Burnt Lighting:

How about his custom Black Mqcueen?

Some real artwork!
These had me in stitches!
I can think of another name for his ‘mud’ McQueen that is also brown!
Mud McQueen looks like been driving through a used nappy.
Fair dinkum these things are uglier than a car yard full of volvos. This guy must be on some new mega strain of weed to actually think they look any good. Question is what does it say for the IQ of the buyer of each, even at $1.99? Come to think of it the buyer might work for Mattels International distribution and marketing section where IQ means waiting in line.
I love the bit in the ad where it says
“THEREFORE THERE IS A CHANCE THE PAINT WILL CHIP OFF IF ROUGHLY THROWN AROUND OR DROPPED”
Gee no kidding. Bit late for that though ya tool
Oh BTW, based on what our friend from Hong Kong has for sale on eBay, I think the 2 new cars in case B will be the Maserati’s Antonio and Costanzo.
Long Live Target!!!!!!!!
It’s good to hear that at least we are getting somtehing in return for the 1,000 dollar bill we pay per semester for theater. LOL.
AWESOME!!!
Gorgeous KIds Jack!!!!
Why has blowwing bubbles mater yellow back rims (or at least the back left one?)?
The young lady has certainly mastered the “look of surprise”, hasn’t she?
Those team sets are awesome! Bring em on!
great pics of the kids there!
I can’t wait to score all these cool new cars that are coming out!
lets get the dpci for those team sets and maybe we can get them out early as well
YES!! Rich E. . . . . we need the DCPI . . . Met . . . SIC ‘EM!!!
Wow… The waiting may be almost over… Great pics of great finds… Great story.
I look forward to making some trades for all these wonderful cars for The Mystery UK Promo car which we are unlikely to ever see inthe UK. Can’t wait to have one and know what it is!
That doesn’t quite read correctly.. well you all know what I mean!
You have my email address!
