Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: More Haulers Truck Stopping at Your House …
First, the Wally hauler is back with the new “WOC: Night Skyline” motif but otherwise, the same truck with the same Rust-eze “crates.”
They are arriving only at WM, of course – 6 to a special Walmart only case. Some WM’s will be getting 4 cases (or 24) – many other WM’s not as many, of course …
Thanks for the pics, “Dabid.”
And next for the regular haulers? The “gap” since the last release is probably due to the change in artwork – what’s due next?
As of now, this still look accurate but case assortments might be changing – however, the general order of release should still hold true … (and case letter codes might be re-starting with A for 2010).
NO CASE I
I doubt we will see all those pictured above before 2009 (calendar year) is over unless they start packing hauler cases with TWO NEW hauler choices in each case … that would be nice but hard to say how likely that is …
Then … the next release after Paul should be …
Nice touch with its roof painted black to match Vinyl Toupee’s toup 🙂
And some new ones to add to your list for 2010?
And more Hauler CARS from the Blu Ray Finder name Game that you can clear room in the house for … coming in early to Spring 2010 …
Is this the delivery company that transports the Incredibles inside as some mobile control center?
Humm, a chocolate brown truck – why am I thinking custom truck could be something somone might want to make – if only there were some world famous company that had trucks and were BROWN in color … if only … well, if nothing else, a Hershey’s custom truck …
There is also a SHIFTY DRUG Hauler on the list – from the Blu Ray Finder, here’s what it should look like …
(okay, maybe more red than pink?)
So, the checklist of CARS left from the Blu Ray Finder name game gets shorter and shorter (yes, an update is coming) … the truck descriptions are from the Pixarpedia encyclopedia.

i want the shiny wax truck!!!!!
No Shiny Wax haulers on ebay yet, so I guess it is not out. Despite the target website showing it available in every store!
given mood springs is #14, are the other haulers following those numbers in the order posted here? [making vinyl #16]
Actually, Vinyl is #15. Paul Valdez is #16.
Just saw this on Target.com:
http://www.target.com/Disney%E2%80%99s-Cars-Toy-Hauler-Shine/dp/B001Q8K31G/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&frombrowse=0&node=1038576&keywords=disney%20haulers&field_browse=1038576&sessionID=191-5323398-4908905&searchSize=30&field_availability=-2&refinementHistory=subjectbin%2Ctarget_com_age%2Ctarget_com_gender-bin%2Ctarget_com_character-bin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&searchNodeID=1038576&field_launch-date=-1y&searchRank=target104545&searchPage=1&field_keywords=disney%20haulers
Has anyone actually seen this hauler yet?
I need to get this one, mood springs and Sidewall shine. Otherwise I have all the haulers for my kids.
Wish they would fill the boxes with all new haulers as the shelves are full of trunk fresh and leakless, Most store managers wont order more until they are off the shelves.
Ladies & Gentlecars,
So glad most of you still enjoy this segment as it was a long time coming. Reminds me of the Otis Redding song. Seems like just yesterday although it was approx 2.5 years ago we started this particular segment.
Sure hope you all have a great Holiday/Happy Cars hunting going forward.
It’s nice to see you pop in every once in a while. I am sure I can speak for everyone when I say we all miss your regular presence!!
Yes, Pitstop said it. We miss you. thank you for the great cars designs, can’t wait to find the Motorama girls. A blast from the past of 50’s cars.
Nice to see you Acura!! Good to see you are still looking over our rear bumpers!! 😆
i really hope mattel would update the design of the haulers. Getting tired with the side opening ones. They can make some like Mack (opening the whole trailer) or Gil or any other
If anyone needs the wally hauler I would be happy to pick one up. Our store has 17 in stock, and NO more are allowed to be ordered.
Two Questions one is Wally Hauler in the actual movie and has anyone seen that they have mood springs and no stall and Sidewall shine haulers at childrens toy closet .com
Wally is not in the movie and that is my problem with most of these guys. Gil was sitting at the truck stop! At least Jerry had some lines!
Then I thought most of the team haulers are not in the movie either, we know that they are there because the racer is seen but we don’t actually see them. You see some when LMQ is looking for Mack prior to entering the Rust-eze tent but noe too many.
That lead me to thinking that not all of the racers have a pit in the movie so therefor they have no pitties or crew chief. We have to assume that they are there somewhere.
Then I began thinking about how many cars have been produced that have no speaking part in the movie and now my head is wrecked!
To answer your question Wally is just a Wal-Mart exclusive that has no movie tie in apart from the Cars eyes.
That just made me think that if Wally comes to the UK and Ireland he should be renamed ASDA as that is the Wal-Mart equivalent here (as in they own ASDA and trade under that name) Then he would be black and green. Cool.
Thanks man!
i did say no on the haulers but at this time i think i will do the other 4 not yet released, only because i caved on jerry wally and gil, BUT STILL NO ON THE PISTON CUP HAULERS, 36 just cant do it besides that how do we know they will do dale and apple.
Apple is easy, buy Wally and customise, when no stall comes out buy him and change to Dale! All the hauler graphics are on carsthetoys.yuku.com
got my wally hauler on saturday, they had a bunch, i went to toys r us and the cleark brought out a box of mega sized and they had a few frank the combine tractors so i got one of those as well.. good weekend finding old releases, now all i need is the small walmart barney storming
I found wally hauler and now I want the the vinyl toupee, mood springs, and shiny wax forsure. Bring them out Mattel 🙂
Wow, I just realized I will be spending $155.75 on Toy Semi Trucks this year. Is that tax deductible?
🙂
Can’t wait. Need some new toy storage!
I keep hoping that some of them will show up while Target still has their price dropped to $9.99, still have some time.
How long is the $9.99 sale last?
Nov 21st, if I remember correctly…that’s a Saturday, so it would end as a weekly ad would. I bought 4 that I already have, figured that I can exchange them within 90 days for others I want if they show up that soon.
See, what is really difficult is, we told ourselves we’d only get our son the hualers that go with the racers he “had.” Then we told ourselves we wanted him to have all the racers, and we’d only buy the haulers for the teams where we had a pitty, crew chief or both. Now he has over 30 of the Piston Cup racers and no less than 12 pitty’s (count the 3 dinoco and HtB)
so of course there are many Haulers to buy now… we need an intervention.
They could have AT LEAST matched the graphics of the Wally Hauler to the image on the new packaging, sleeker-looking if you ask me.
That’s the prototype with the old WalMart logo on the package. First error variant ?
(MET: By the time it was released, WM changed logos so taht one was never produced though I’m sure there are a few protos floating around or make your own custom).
How about they be on the shelves now, mkay? I think the haulers are amazing, even cooler than the racers themselves. So much detail! Cannot wait! Must…have…haulersssssssssssssssss!
Good day to all!
sweet! these look great!! the vinyl toupee one looks fantastic! Of course collect them all!!
Is tank coat out as a hauler?
Nope. Nor have I heard of him being released.
Sadly no, and that’s the one my daughter is dying to get. She may have to settle for Vinyl Toupee for now.
Vinyl Toupee is class, can’t wait for him or her?
So do we think they’ll make Ben Crankleshaft and Oliver Lightload look like they’re sleeping? I would think that would make them less fun (Look Mom! Here’s all my haulers driving around except Ben and Oliver. They’re napping)
Well, some of them ARE from the scene where Lightning convinces Mack to keep going, as we see them pass the truck stop with “all those sleepin’ trucks!” as Mack put it……..and we also see the mattress fly off of Leroy Traffik.
I know but where is the play value in something that just sits there
you know I thought the same thing, it is interesting. Either way, I still think I would collect them all!
cool now I can’t even spell my name right! 🙂
I don’t know, I really want the team haulers but I have already caved with Jerry and Gil. I still think Gil is pointless and all the fuss over him was the same. I will get Wally to customise as Apple but sleeping trucks? Nah, not this time.
It would be so cool if they’d put together a “Truck Stop Set” with Paul Valdez and some of the others in a group setting as they were in the movie.
Paul, Chet, Ben, and Oliver as a 4 pack “Truck Stop Set”? Might even save a little money as a foursome! 🙂
That Vinyl Toupee haulers looks really nice. I wish we didn’t have to wait so long for these, and there seems to be a little lag in the action as far as the haulers go. I guess Gil was not that long ago, but come on it is getting close to Xmas lets roll them all out.
Not to mention that the numbers are even lower if we take Gil and Jerry off of the list because they’re not even “team haulers”, but individual characters unrelated to the race teams.
Nitroade is really the last “team hauler” we’ve seen, so we’ll gain a little ground with No Stall, Shiny Way, Mood Springs, etc., but we’re still a long way from collecting them all, aren’t we?
Isn’t Trunk Fresh the last one? Think that’s #9
Oh and Vinyl Toupee simply looks stunning… what a Work of Art! LOL 😀
Trunk Fresh was on the shelves long before Nitroade Hauler.
With the next few cases all 8 of the Target release set Dinoco 400 race Cars, will have their haulers. No Stall, V. T, Octane G, Nitroade, Leakless, King, McQueen, HTB.
perhaps there is order to the madness?
(Getting my contraband UPS decals ready…)
SWEET!!
For me too, right??
If my “source” ever gets them made… perhaps.
Awesome, guess its time to work on buying haulers and catching up, since I can’t find any new minis.
looking forward to Mini Jerry Recycled Batteries!
WOW didn’t even hear about that release. Too cool.
Are all these haulers scheduled to be release by the end of the year??
If so, Xmas is going to be expensive this year…
GREAT THINGS A COMING BOYS!! 10-4 good buddy!
“Looks like we got ourselves a Convoy”…….
How ’bout a CARnvoy? 🙂
Mercy, sakes alive!
Cabover Pete with a reefer on, and a Kenworth haulin’ logs….
(I actually have C.W. McCall’s Greatest Hits CD!) 🙂
….or is it hogs? Might have to check the CD.
“””Well the dark of the moon as the 6th of June and a Kenworth haulin’ logs….a Cabover Pete with a reefer on, and and a Jimmy (aka GMC) haulin Hogs…we waas hunting for bear on I 1 0 about a mile outta shaky town (interstate 10 east of Los Angeles)………….
It starts with “Was”, not well, but you’re pretty close on the rest.
Here’s the link to the lyrics page:

I still say Haulers are too small.
…Just sayin’!! 🙂
they made them small because its a “need to fit INSIDE my mailbox” instead of rubberbanded to the outisde of the mailbox thing!!
Ah!!! NOW I understand!! 😆
nice ONE!!!
nice – I’ll need a hauler just to get all these new releases home.
Yeah, wouldn’t it be nice to have to go back and get a 2nd shopping cart just to fit everything in that we found in ONE TRIP to a store? 🙂
I want them all!!! Bring them on, Mattel!
