Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Team Octane Gain & Better Slot CARS
“Chuki Mama” spotted these Octane Gain Team Hauler’s online at Target.com
They are also listed as Team Leak Less so it might be a roll of the dice which one you actually get …
They are not on any official list though of course, not exactly a stretch to see these as all three have been released individually. If you spot them in the stores, send us a pic!
Chuki Mama also noticed that the “serious” Carrerra GO!!! slots were also on Target.com … they are a little cheaper at $82 something at Amazon.
This is from Germany that we covered last month in this POST.
The post also has links to cool track add-ons and closes up of 1:43 scale Lightning & Chick.
If you live near a Hobby Town, Charles C. found one there for $8 bucks less (@$74) … and you get a FREE giant sticker sticker with a warning about not giving yourself an electrical shock … like your toaster, do not submerge under water and use 🙂
King is also available separately.
Looks pretty cool – if I only had the room … if you get, be sure and send us a review.

I got my package today and it’s the Leakless set. Back it goes unless someone here wants it.
I just found the wide pitty on ebay for GBP cause it is in austraillia http://cgi.ebay.com/DISNEY-PIXAR-CARS-Octane-Gain-pitty-NEW_W0QQitemZ280420946515QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN?hash=item414a641253
Very cool wide pitty!
What a cute setup. Love the detail put in these.
Model Cars
I placed the order for the Octane Gain yesterday(took a chance), I got an email tonight telling me it has shipped. Not sure what I’ll get but at least I can return it to the store if it’s the wrong one.
(MET: Let us know what you get 🙂 ).
Well, here in Germany the carrera track is about $90. The extra king is another $21. But if anybody needs some help in picking this up, just shoot me a mail:
gipsy_02@web.de
The Cars slot track is in Australia too and on special this week (I posted this in another topic)
Down to $AUD89 from $AUD139. I got one yesterday which will be a joint Xmas present for my boys and of course me. Even better it rung up at $AUD79 so got a further $AUD10 discount.

Props to chucki_mama!! 🙂 Thanks for the headsup!! Too bad you couldn’t post first. 😉
😉 Was busy getting the kids on the bus so that I could go to Target and hunt for cars! 🙂
Also went to TRU where if you buy $25 worth of Cars toys, you get the “Mater the Greater” backpack. It’s smaller than a regular backpack, but VERY cute!!! 😀
You could fill the backpack with Cars Globes and send the whole thing to PirateDad!!!!
Heck I don’t even own an octain gain pitty, uggh grrrrrrr how did I miss that one.
I might be able to help you out on that! tjgraham1924 at hotmail dot com
TERRI, are you out there by any chance?
Do you have the actual UPC numbers from the packaging for the Mater’s cousins and Motorama girls? Not DPCI, but actual UPC.
If so, shoot me an email, would you? tjgraham1924 at hotmail dot com
are these available anywhere else but target?
I believe Target is the only source for these, at least for the time being.
my wife is getting me (i mean my son) the carrera set…what’s cool is the cars are the same scale as the disney piston cup racers…I think…
Perhaps a little under-car modifying to put the Fabulous Hudson Hornet back on the track?
Man, if I have to buy the Team pack to get a new pitty.. I will be disappointed! Just release the pitty crew chief Octain Set Mattel!!!!!!!!!
“I pitty the crew!” 😉
Also waiting “to be notified” when some of the other haulers and show girls become available. I actually ordered them a few months ago and then got the notification a few weeks later. what’s up with that? anyone else still waiting?
What site?
target.com
I think I’ll wait and pick up the Octane Gain Crew 4-Pack when it comes out.
Same here.
Ditto Boys
saw this set on target.com myself last night . e-mailed them about the discrepancy, and they e-mailed back that they get the info from mattel and that I would have to contact them. What??????
I was debating whether or not to order them myself, they’re hanging in “my cart” right now.
I had a large slot car track already and just ordered the individual Cars themselves. The LM and Chick Hicks are really nice quality. My wife asked the other day if we could actually live a whole day just using Cars merchandise. Cars are all invasive if you want it to be! I can’t believe the staying power of this brand!
Wow that slot car track is pretty awesome. Hummmm now would my wife think it would be age appropriate for a supervised 4 yo with that GIANT electric shock warning sticker. I think not. Very cool though
Saw the cars track set up here in the Great White for $89 CND – The same BTW for the Larry’s Garage box set….
Probably wait for the sale price on that one…
Definitely a new Pitty style for Team Octane Gain, but where oh where is the elusive Crew Chief???
Isn’t the Pitty different? Dudley Spare (OG Pitty released as a single) looks like Luke Peddlework (King Pitty) but this one looks like the fat pitty (like the Trunk Fresh Pitty released as a single)
Nice new Piston Cup racers on the right of the picture
MET:
Isn’t that a different pitty for octane gain. Individual was tall, skinny one??
(MET: Single Release Octane Pitty is Wide Pitty).
I said I was going to stop after the Team Rusteze, Team Dinoco, and Team HTB… and then I bought the Team Leakless… I’ve combined the Team Crew sets for HTB and Dinoco and Leakless with the Team sets (with hauler, racer, and pitty)… I like how they look…
So, it looks like I’ll be adding the Team Octane Gain to my collection…
Dang you, Mattel… coming out with more products to separate me from my money…
New team haulers for those who collect them
I totally stinks how they release only one car u actually need! Now i have to get wide octane gain pitty.
