Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Christmas CARS & Target DPCI
Yes, the Christmas reset is coming – Sunday 11.1.2009 so you can start calling and seeing if these have arrived yet …
BUT keep in mind, just because the reset is 11.1.2009 does not mean it will all go out on that day – Target “resets” are more like a casual get-together, all very casual, no pressure just like their stores – hey I’ll just hang out in the stockroom, if there’s enough of us to go out, we’ll go out … or if you ask, we’ll head on out … but, whatever …
Reindeer Mater is only available in the Box Set.
Your Target may also be pegging them in the seasonal section so don’t just look in toys, look around the holiday section but either punch in the DPCI number or ask a clerk with the DPCI numbers.
There is a faint rumor they may show up elsewhere but for now, they only seem to be available at Target. Steven HB found them at the Disney Store in UK so will the Disney Store US be getting some? ??? Shop.Mattel.com? ??? You be our eyes & ears. Let us know.
Happy collecting!
Mater Saves Christmas – The Book is available on Amazon.

I just got 4 of the five at Target there were some left too!
Just looking for Mater (reindeer)
My wife found the singles at Target but in the “storytellers” format. They only show the 5 regulars on there. We were hoping there would be more. Now I need to find the box set instead to get the Mater.
Is what we see above the final card design, or is it this:

???
That’s the Story Tellers Christmas Edition!
I think we’ll hold out for the snow globe style packaging so we can hang them on the tree!!
Is the snow globe only meant for the Disney Store???
I don’t think you will find the globe in Target. Maybe Disney store though.
Me too, the globes are cute.
I would like the globes too but doesn’t look they will be at Target. Maybe Wally World??
Maybe Victoria Secret?? Or are those different globes??
Thems different ones.
my target ran the number today on a handheld and said they had them in the back but they couldn’t bring them out until November 9th. I talked to someone in the toy department so of course they said no. Guess I’ll go again tomorrow with my son and ask an older motherly looking type in the sheets and towel area and maybe I can pull it off. Thanks for posting the # fo the bigger pack w/ Mater in it Carsaholic.
(MET: Good luck … paste a tear on your cheek … not your kid, that would be too much 🙂 ).
Just got home and have some info to post, the DPCI for the holiday box set is 087-07-0107 with a retail price of $29.99 Happy Hunting
I got all 5 Christmas cars in the Disney Store in Brighton today. They had just arrived and had 4 of each in the crate. Also had Gil and Nitroade Hauler and the Toons cars in abundance.
They are so cool, I am now wishing I had bought 2 of them all so I could put them on the tree.
If only Reindeer Mater had been released as a single too. Why do Mattel do that? I suppose I should be grateful that we actually got new cars in the UK…..
How much did they cost? £4 each? Thanks!
Yes the cars were £4 each and the hauler £13. The Mega Size Ambulance was £9 which I thought was a bit steep.
Hey there MET, I know you know I work at Target and yes we did get one singles box but it cant go out yet. But I dont think you know that I also work for the Disney Store and we have stage set for the holidays this Sunday, but there are no holidays Cars on the set or any plans for Mattel Cars to be carried in the Disney Stores…just info for now.
(MET: Well, you’ll be busy 🙂 Did you check seasonal endcap for the Christmas CARS – Target? The Disney store is just speculation since they are starting to carry more Mattel prducts online and in some stores …)
AH HA!! the secret is out!! you are now the t5 target in!! 😛 haha
aaaannnnnnnnnnnnndddd Disney store! 🙂
I hope Simba you do the right thing by your company and other collectors and people. Sadly, my local TRU is run by a store manager who told me she collects Cars too, and there is never anything good there. She even said she waits for the new arrivals. What chance do I even have when she holds this power? Even sadder is TRU don’t seem to care she may be stealing/taking goods before they hit the shelves for customers to buy. Is nice to know we have someone who can give us good information which may be reliable for at least one Target and Disney store.
At the Target and Disney I work for I do have to go by the same rules as guests and can only purchase the new releases when they hit the floor, fortunately I know when that is but if collectors ask I would tell them also. Again the Disney Store that I work at doesnt show Mattel products on the upcoming stage set and we havent any new Cars product other than what we have currently, so I dont know about the posted about getting X-mas cars there.
Picked up two xmas Lighting Mcqueens today.
One in Decked Out Doc Hudson Packaging the other is in Snow Day Sally packaging.
These were from the Disney Store Blackpool.
I found a couple in decked out packaging at bluewater, but i did also manage to get one in the correct packaging
How much do the UK ones cost? Thanks.
Book is available at TJMax for 9.99
thanks.
more interested in the book than the cars …..
Has this been mentioned?
Amazon blu-ray set with Gold McQueen is now $29.99
thinking of buying this with the book for free shipping.
theyre already out in uk disney stores-lol
A well deserved nanny nanny boo boo?
The only question for me is how many sets to buy 😉
One for you, one for me, one for the tree!!
Disney store in the Bullring has 1 Xmas sherriff out on the shelves but a kindly crew member went out back and pulled out a complete set of singles – don’t know if we’ll see the box set over here though – anyone know ?
No nO im quite friendly with the staff in the bullring in birmingham UK!!! Racheal is ace!! she is always on the lookout for new cars for me!!!
As far as i know they are only selling the single cars no boxset!!!
Managed to get all % singles yay!!! not sure if mater is gonna be single or not here in the uK…
J xoxo
managed to pick up GIL and nitroade hauler from disney store too!! yay!!
yea!! I was wondering when these would be released!! this weekend!! yay!! Hopefully i’ll have better luck this time finding a worker who will go get them in the back for me! 🙂
Was just at Target and they show in system but they told me no projected date as of now. ????????
My target had them in the system, but not in the stockroom.
same here…had my husband check when he was up at target and it was in the system but said none in stockroom…going to try again tomorrow!
same here
…and are Sally’s EAR MUFFS going to be BLUE OR WHITE
Final product should be white, as shown in the book and the packaged version shown above.
The are light blue:- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/PaulR/Disney%20Cars/P1050115.jpg
Also Doc Hudson is very metalic is it Ransburg?:- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/PaulR/Disney%20Cars/P1050108.jpg
They are pale blue.
CIYE, did you ever get your package from me? I never heard a thing.
Yes, thank You very much. Sorry, I normally let everyone know when their stuff arrives.
That’s the spirit!!!
HOHOHO!!!
That’ll do me for Xmas this year- Hold the sox and undies!
Shoot! Now I have to stand in the return line!
Wal Mart Customer Service Representative speaking to iamspeed:
I understand sir that you would like to return these socks and underwear that you bought for Bucklands Blowout. Yes, I agree that he will greatly enjoy the Christmas Cars you bought for him and your good friend PirateDad.
The problem I have Sir, is why did you WEAR the socks and underwear that you want to return????
😛
Are the box set and singles in the same case?
I would doubt it – these come up as Holiday Diecast singles for $5.99 so I would guess the 6 pack sets have a different DPCI #.
Yeah, that’s why I posted the question earlier…….there has to be a different DPCI for the boxed set, same as with the Storytellers?
I didn’t think they would be in the same case, I just want to make sure I have them bring out the case of 6 packs from the stock room.
Quick question, how do you add a avatar pic
Go to Gravatar.com and follow the instructions.
Once you go there, you should clear out your entire cache, cookies, etc. so you can properly see it here.
Will buy these when they reach 70-90% off after Christmas.
IF there are any left…
Good luck with that idea.
I bet they are gone by Dec 1st.
They won’t even make the shelves — collectors will be grabbing them from stockboys’ hands as they attempt to empty the cases.
at $6? I can see some being cleared out after Christmas… mainly Doc and McQueen … but I guess it really depends on case assortments…..
anyone getting the Shake n Go Christmas cars?
http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=10&e=sngproduct&pcat=shakengopixar&pid=51448
http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=10&e=sngproduct&pcat=shakengopixar&pid=51449
I have been looking for the christmas shake and go’s for a while. One of my kids loves them. We have all the others.
Those don’t look too bad – isn’t there a shake n go Rescue Squad Mater coming out too?
TRU has the picture of the Shake’n’Go Rescue Squad Mater online, but it is currently out of stock:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3526301
It’s really cute!!!
Those shake n go’s are super cute!
I really can’t imagine there will be ANY Christmas Cars left over.
After a tip off i decided to head to bluewater disney store to try my luck, i walked out with all 5 xmas car singles, king with piston cup and Gil. Then to top off a fantastic cars hunting day i got home to find my TRU promo cars had arrived!!!
For anyone that does not already know the promo car is your leftover Sidewall shines in the display case.
also picked up two Holiday hotshot mcqueens in decked out doc hudson packaging
Didn’t know there WERE any leftover Sidewall Shines!
Well they have found more, they have 2008 underneath, so i guess they are leftovers
2008 on the bottom! that is a bit harsh!
Had a feeling that it would be either N20 Cola or SS. Too many leftovers from the USA promos.
Yeah… after Paul cleaned them out 😆
Sidewall Shine! thats terrible news! I have reciepts for three more collector cars that I hadn’t sent off as I was waiting to find out which promo it is, I think I’ll return the 15 cars I bought 🙁
Well all i can say is im glad i never caved in a bought one from ebay.
I straight swapped my original Side Wall Shine for a Faux so I guess I was lucky as well in that aspect. Makes me wonder if the left over N20 Colas promos will be chucked in the mix as well?
Such a let down! Sidewall Shine is cool but hardly exclusive! TRU won’t be seeing me for a long time after this!
Plus with the planned Sidewall Shine Launchers I feel really let down 🙁
I was really hoping for Gaskits or Tach O Mint
Gary UK did it come with a packing slip or poster or anything?
This is just a rip off, there are people who need Sidewall Shine and that is great for them but for the rest of us it is a bummer. I was hoping it would be Gaskits as so many people needed him and I was hoping to help them out. Better get over to the trading forum.
Have Sidewall Shine UK Promo x 15
Need Green Ramone!
🙂
Do you really need a green Ramone? I have 2.
No it just came in the plastic display case with it nothing else, but they do return the reciepts, so if it works right you might be able to take the cars back.
Guess the cat is out of the bag now.
I had slight suspicions Sidewall would be the car when plm171 received those damaged cases recently …. but I would have still put money on Gask-its.
Observation: Mattel has not repeated any promo car right after the previous one. Contractual obligations? So I was pretty sure it was not going to be Gask-its for the UK. It became clear to me when Italy got FWD a few weeks ago. If the SS UK promo has anything special, like a unique baggie that indicates UK only I would be interested in one.
ugh this stinks big time
Can you get Mater as a single in the UK? Be real interested in buying one from you if he comes as a single?
No its the same as the usa i think, but i doubt we will see the boxset anyway
Excellent news! We found the book at Target about 2 weeks ago so my son is very excited for these now. He’s been trained well though and as we’re reading the story he was already asking if they would make the little elf cars, the Santa car, the reindeer snowmobiles, etc 🙂
Oh, and thanks to Met, expect Targets nationwide to receive about 800 simultaneous phone calls this morning requesting DPCI # 087070250!!
Smart little guy! I am hoping for all the other cars (Mrs. Santa too!) next year 🙂
The boxed set and singles share the SAME DPCI?
(MET: No, don’t know what that one is yet).
Are these lenticulars?
Awesome 1/2 price Candy on Sunday and possible Christmas cars!!! w00 h00!!
Met –
Is the dpci the same for the box set as the singles?
SAME THING I WAS WONDERING!
I got mine from the Disney Store UK. The Sally shown out of packaging doesn’t have the pin striping that the actual released Sally has.
Also another observation will LMQ come with the Lights and snow tyres as per box set picture?
(MET: No, doesn’t look like it – looks like they went with the just the easier to do pinstripping – but there’s next year 😉 ).
Which Disney store was this and how much were they? I didn’t see anything like this in the Sheffield Disney Store on monday but they did have some Gils.
Jon
super cool – Cars that can be displayed front and center for Christmas!! All the rest are just toys in my wife’s eyes and are exclusively banned from being upstairs and have to live in the basement.
Looking forward to these… Hopefully they’ll be available well in time before Christmas.
LONG ISLAND NY
I CANT WAIT THERE ARE GREAT HOLIDAY GIFTS BUT UNFORTUNATELY IN MY AREA THESE MIGHT TAKE LONG TO ARRIVE SINCE EVERY TARGET (WHICH ARE 3) STILL HAVE NOT RECIEVED ANY OF THE FINAL LAP SERIES. WHAT A BUMMER 🙁
I am guessing that SOMEONE, not mentioning ANY names, in NY got all the final lap cars BEFORE they ever got to the shelves!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH now THAT is funny hahah
sweet . . . dcpi for singles CHECK . . .dcpi for the box set . . .hmmmm . . first to find it wins a yellow snow cone?? LOL
i want Box and singles…
I am sorry . . .who are you again?? 😆
kidding . . kidding . . . on the list good friend . . 🙂
Just want? These are a NEEEEEED!
NOBODY NEEDS a YELLOW Snow Cone!!!
I am the winner but will pass on yellow snowcone!!
where is Hannukah Hank Murphy? or Kwannza Kori?
Released in specialty markets at a limited run of 2500 on the other side of the world. Though due to bad distribution practices, they’ll be sitting in the warehouses all winter and in the Spring, end up shipped back to the US and sold in obscure little dollar stores like the kind in Pratt, Kansas.
Love to see these in Australia for a red hot Xmas. But probably as much chance as seeing in Canada
The first set I see will be yours if you want ’em!
Very kind John. Appreciated and accepted. But only if not too much trouble and you get a set first.
So, the set after that will be for me? 😉
John needs constant reminding that we have a deal. He sends all the trucks my way first, then he can get his.
Hey now….no need to be reminding us that Canada is like the island of lost and the bermuda triangle all rolled into one!!
