Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Target Box Sets 2009 Visual Checklist

Now that the holiday season approaches, it’s time to finally figure out what’s out and what’s coming.

So, this will be CHECKLIST WEEK here at TakeFive … Earlier, we did SINGLES & BOX SETS (part 1), here is BOX SETS (Part 2) – aka: The Target Box Sets.

This checklist lists Target-only box sets released and on the store shelves. This is Part II of II for box sets. It is not comprehensive by itself … it is split up for ease of printing AND it’s less financially scary 🙂

These checklists are also ONLY for new items (that item may contain re-releases of individual CARS … imagine that 🙂  ).

    How much do these sets usually cost? I live in Canada and have a friend of mine looking for them.

  • bravo1616 says:

    just curious, did anyone notice that the Chick crew chief has 2 similar pittys (same pitty casting different expression/eyes) and the other sets have the 3 different (castings) pittys.

    I don’t think its an error because the photo on the back of the box is the same as whats in the package.

    (MET: Yes, that’s correct).

    Thanks Met for the check lists you prepare, your time is greatly appreciated and they are a big help preparing my friend and I (also a Take5er) for what to expect and when to expect it.

    I don’t know where cac1959 lives but here in Columbus, OHIO all 10 of the Target Stores shelves are dry of Speedway 4 packs as well. It’s not just Target, TRU and WAL-MART also. Have not seen Chase King w/Piston Cup case singles either, too many Chase Chick Hicks w/Piston Cup case singles still clogging the pegs.

    It looks like the stores in this city order too many cases and then wait until their almost all gone before ordering more, either that or they are all continually falling asleep behind the order screen when it’s time to order new CARS items!

      I’m from eastern Indiana… If I travel 50 miles east to Dayton, there are 2 Target stores… If I travel 90 miles west to Indianapolis, I can visit up to 8 and 3 TRU but that results in a 250 to 300 mile round trip, which is a lot of time and driving especially if there is nothing new at the stores. I’m going to Indy on Thursday to meet up with a couple Cars friends for lunch, deliver several items for Cars Cares including 25 Night Vision McQueen Collectors Guides, pick up some Cars they found for me, and enjoy a day off work.

      We have 1 Kmart, 1 Walmart, 1 Meijer, and 1 Kohls in our county, so I rely on friends to help me out. Target let town 10 years ago. A good friend works one county to the southwest, so he visits the Kmart and Walmart stores after work.

      I was ordering lots of cases on line, but now that the non-lenticular singles are Target exclusives, that’s not an available option. I bought several of the launchers cases online, but they may no longer be available if they become Target exclusives… There were a few good 3 pack case assortments, but the latest F case was lame… I bought several mega size cases, but I’m not buying any more mega size semis.

      You’re right – many of the stores don’t have a clue as to how to order… and we’ve not seen the Lenticulars D case anywhere in this area and I don’t expect to… The lenticular A and B cases are everywhere, and not selling…

      cac1959 lives in Indianapolis. So do I.

  • BigMOCats says:

    Most all this stuff is already out, hardly a “Holiday” checklist…….I’m betting there is a lot more new stuff before the holidays?

  • Mara says:

    I just need to find the Chick crew set. I found 2 Fiber Fuels at target about 2-3 weeks ago, & 2 Mood Springs last week at Target. I haven’t found Easy Idle though. My guess is they are returns because the packages look a little beat up & there are only the 2, no others from the case.

  • NeoSK says:

    i always like visual checklists, kinda motivating us to go to the stores

  • Ace Diamondrunner says:

    Is Leak Less to CARS as Wedge is to Star Wars? Seems like LL is always part of the action…

  • cac1959 says:

    Thanks for Part II of II. I missed the fine print in the first part…

    I have the 3 Target Team Crew sets – 9 of the 10 Team Dinoco Crew sets I’ve seen have yellow tires as opposed to blue tires even though The King has silver tires… I also bought the Team Leakless set with the hauler/racer/pitty since a team member was kind enough to bring a case of Final Lap Cars out for me…

    As far as the 4 packs, every Target I’ve been to has had only the original 4 pack with Revolting. I may or may not by the 4 pack racers.

  • PirateDad says:

    Knot getting these…although it pains me, in the case of the pitties, but can;t justify the expense for one pitty…….ARARGGHHHHHHH it is killing me…I PITY THE FOOL!

  • heinz57baby says:

    Can look but can’t touch… Why?

  • RPM64 says:

    Cool I am glad fiber fuel will coming out so I can finally find him.

  • babychristianscars says:

    Love the team sets. Can’t wait for more to come out. Just wish the pitties had their names on the boxes.

  • DLMcQueen says:

    Can’t bring myself to buy the 4-packs for just one (or in some cases zero) car that I need.
