Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Storytellers Cousins & Showstopper Singles Have Arrived at Target
Guess we might as well camp out at Target 🙂
The Storyteller cousins & showstopper (girls) have arrived at some stores …
Thanks for the pics, Nikko. These are a little harder to find as they have THE SAME DPCI numbers as the ones from last year (Sponsorless McQueen, Retro Ramone, etc … 087071794) so if you call, they might just tell you they have X when only the older ones are on the shelf AND if they have some in the system, they are not very likely to bring them out from the back unless you ask nicely AND find a clerk willing to do that … so unlike a completely new item like the 6-pack Christmas Box set, they have to actually look at each one and set one aside for you which they might still do but it will take much more effort on their part.
No one has seen the 3-packs yet but they should arrive soon, The toy-holiday reset BEGINS on Sunday (it is not a stone cold deadline) but you can start asking by next week …
The THREE NEW 3-packs include … a Showstopper Girls one …
And Mater’s Cousins are also in another 3-pack.
And a third mystery one which only lists Bubba. It seems unlikely they will charge you $14.99 for just Bubba so I’m guessing you’ll get at least 1 other CAR or maybe something like Stanley & Luigi … to balance out the weight … but I guess it’s up to Nikko … will he be first to complete the entire Storytellers 2.0 collection? Well? Well? Well? 🙂
Pre-Release photos are in this post.

Rhonda is so cool, she has flecks of gold in her paint and rocket tail lights. Laverne has fins that stretch to the moon and t bird round windows, she is a coupe and has pearlescent paint no kidding with flecks of green, gold, blue, magenta. Shirley, er… Sheila, ah be careful you don’t cut yourself on her sharp fins. All have silver paint trim accents …OH THESE ARE OFF THE HOOK INSANE AS MARTIN SAYS. GO PIXAR! SOMEONE THERE LOVED 50’S SHOW CARS. simply the best cars to date!
I found cousin Buford at Target last night but there we sold out on the other two (Cletus and Jud) 🙁
probably because for some reason there are 2 of buford and only 1 of the others in the case.. really weird actually
So….in the case comes one of each? Plus how many of the old ones?
I’m excited for the Showstoppers, they look awesome. Mater’s cousins however shall remain on the shelves, they look like a toddler painted them.
Once again no thanks…… the wallet is much heavier now since sticking to the ORIGINAL LINE!!
NO Lenticulars
NO Cars Toons
NO Story Tellers
Lets get the real stuff out, and going so we can get all of the real cars………
I was only able to find cousin cletus and buford. So i will be on the hunt for the other 4. Sometimes its fun trying to find these good luck guys.
But I do need a couple of the “Rhonda” ones, even though I don’t collect these Story Tellers. That’s my wife’s name. And no close Target!
Somebody please help me with this section…I don’t collect these Story Tellers!

I’ve tried the best I can from these posts. Thanks!
Maybe I shouldn’t even group them under individual stories? I did have it like that before.
Did anyone actually see these being pulled from the back? I’m wondering if there is a way to differentiate between the cases – like with the singles we could always ask for “case A” or case B” and so on.
When I asked today, a nice employee went out back and came back with an unopened box. He said it was the only one they had. I saw it said “fall” on the box in the description so I thought I had hit the jackpot. No such luck – it was a case of the old ones.
Just wondering if there is an easier way to help the employees find the newest case of these…
Picked these up this morning. $5.99 at my local Target.
I tried to get them today, with the DPCI code. They brought out the older 3 packs. So as Met says its gonna take some work to get these, until they actually hit the shelves. The Target had 4 of the new speedway racer four packs.
rpm, trunk fresh, king, mcqueen
leakless, vitoline, rev n go, mcqueen
fiber fuel, sparemint, mcqueen,leakless
simply awesome! I need to “collect them all”
GEORGEOUS SHOWGIRLS .. .grrrrowwwwwlllll . . .. .
Cool Cousins . . .. .. shoooooooot . .
gonna have to find these . .. dag nabit . . 🙂
Awesome and since the singles come in a box and its cheaper I’ll wait for the boxed sets.
Where does the “Wedding Day Ramone, Tractor & Flo” (instead of BN Mater) belong, that I’ve seen?
And what are the names of the stories with these new ones? Is it just “Cousins” and “Showstoppers”? Or don’t these have new stories? Do they just belong solely to old stories?
(MET: Yea, follow the link to read about re-releases and re-configs … yea, all from the original book).
Finally! Something cool comes out ….. even better … it looks like the Showstoppers do not have the silly looking plastic faces…..
Whoooooooeeeeeee!
I’ve been waiting for those “girls” to show up. My target has the pegs filled with last years singles and 3 packs. It’s gonna take a lot of “talking” on my part to get them to bring out the new ones LOL 🙂
I found this link on ebay with a new final lap car which is muddy mcqueen and i dont think they were in the first case so take a look! http://cgi.ebay.com/Disney-Pixar-Cars-Muddy-McQueen-PCK_W0QQitemZ350269428334QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item518daf526e
um…is that price for a case…56 bucks for that…maybe for S.Shine or BlueRay…come on…
Same old Australian Ebayer that we’ve come to know as the back-door source for CARS.
Almost always “loose”, sometimes with imperfections, so bid with caution.
Im so glad that there is a new case comin i would never pay 56 bucks for that one car and i would never buy another mcqueen especially for that amount of cash
It looks like the next case of Final Lap cars will have Muddy Mcqueen, Pit Crew Sarge, and at least one other new car….
I would also say the Maserattis
I can’t help but feel ‘Muddy’s’ release could mirror that of ‘Tumbleweed,’ if you know what I mean.
This fool is an idiot if he thinks we are going to pay that($56). We will all find it adventually for those that want it.
(MET: I believe you just invented a nice new word that is perfects for CARS – the combination of adventure & eventually, I like it 🙂 ).
Nice MET, I was just going to point that out too! 🙂
Met you are right about me trying to be nice with nice words 🙂 There is a scammer out every minute. Thanks, Rebecca
This bozos want $60 for these….http://cgi.ebay.com/Disney-Pixar-Cars-Story-JUD-BUFORD-CLETUS-MATER-Cousins_W0QQitemZ400082971938QQihZ027QQcategoryZ142316QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3911.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26ps%3D6
He must be crazy…
Ok everyone case B for final lap is gonna be quick heres pit crew sarge for another insane price! http://cgi.ebay.com/Disney-Pixar-Cars-Pit-Crew-Sarge-RARE-PCK_W0QQitemZ400083164858QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5d26d09eba
Please correct me if I am wrong.
The Story Tellers singles are $5.99 (same price as last year) and the 3-packs are $14.99.
(MET: That is correct).
At my target they were 6.99 MET?
6.49 at mine
I’ve seen CARS prices vary as much as $1.00 in Target stores(and Kmart stores) that are less than 15 miles from each other!
I’ve seen the same with Wal-Mart along the I-5 Freeway. The highest prices I saw were at Chehalis, WA which does not have ANY competition. The retailers have become smart enough to milk the local market for as much as possible. This is not limited to just toys but everything. Ever notice WM does not have a weekly ad like Fred Meyer, Target, etc. Wal-Mart wants you to believe it has the lowest prices in town, when it doesn’t Good PR. Most people are not price conscience.
PS: Fred Meyer is still running Light Year Launchers at $7.99. Picked up Fiber Fuel this morning. Fred’s ran a six hour door buster sale of the basic Cars for 2/$5.00. The Car Toon singles were $3.99.
I have yet to run into a Fiber Fuel launcher! I should have you get me one and just ship the car loose! I’ve never opened the launcher I have because I don’t have one to keep “on card”.
My Target has MTT singles for $3.99.
Have you, received my emails?
Me neither. Nada. Nor Mood Springs or Easy Idle or Retread. But isn’t Fiber Fuel being released again soon? MET? And the others?
$6.49 a piece in Vallejo, Ca.
(MET: Yea, save some for $6.49 here also).
I dont think im gonna collect the storytellers
Ditto……I resisted the first go round and now at 6.50 a piece it is too much. Still cool though…..
on top of that, the Mater’s 3 cousins are so horribly painted. Its like painted by color pencils only!
We should start a rally boys/Girls
Sooo many new Cars toys they’re becoming a blurrrr! 😯
i know im goin bonkers just keeping up with all i need
If only they weren’t so pricey… 🙁
(MET: There is the clearance pricing gamesmanship you can play … 🙂 ).
