Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Taking a Shine to Sidewall Shine Hauler
They are now coming fast & furious – 3 new haulers in 2 weeks and Mood Springs is right around the corner …
The new Night Skyine motif. CASE L comes with 2 Macks and 2 HTB Hauler (all in the new Night Skyline motif).
“Slider, nice to see you off your pedestal!”
“Yea, I must’ve had two screws loose to be stuck inside that box.”
Did the Pitty’s and Crew Chiefy go for another In ‘N Out Burger run?
Hey, buck up, sure, you’re not worth $100 anymore but at least they’re not calling you Sidewall O Shine … poor Ernie …

I keep searching all the area targets but have had no luck there or TRU or Walmart or KMart. I missed day 1 and 2 at KMART. When is the best time to look for stuff or is it just luck?
as a side note a buddy of mine is going to customize some cars for me to make a team for my comic book character.
I am going to use a leakless hauler, pitty and car and a dinoco chief. I might even have him do a props mcgee and mia and tia for me.
target.com has it on the page.
Target, that’s where I found my SS. My Mood Springs Hauler I had to get
through someone and not sure if Shiny Wax has been seen yet by anyone.
Is this only available at amazon.com? I haven’t been able to find the Shiny Wax, Mood Springs or this hauler yet?
Found SS last night at Target!
Sidewall Shine hauler is available right now on amazon 13.99. It qualifies
for free shipping if you spend 25.00 or more.
I found this hauler (sidewall shine) today along with Bubba and the 3 pack of the cousins at Target in Colorado Springs, CO. yay!!!
Hey Rebecca, nice to see someone on here from Colorado-I’m in Thornton. I also found Sidewall Shine at Target here.
Nice to meet you broncocountryusa. I use this site a lot to see all the new things coming out. My 11 year old loves the cars. Went to Target today and found several more Bubba’s along with the No Stall and RMP hauler (which I grabbed both). Still looking for the Rhonda and Laverne. Have Sheila already. They have been sold out.
Okay, so here is a story of awesomeness! First off, may I say Target and their DPCI numbers are in a lot of trouble. My husband and I picked up the Sidewall Shine Hauler at Target on Tuesday. We checked out in the Garden Center, not sure if that had something to do with it, but we got the hauler for $4.99! We also picked up Dexter Hoover with checkered flag (He was the only one left!), he was also $4.99. So… I’m kinda thinking their numbers are all messed up!
The best part is, the cashier said it wasn’t ringing up correctly and asked if we remembered the price. We answered him with the correct price, and for the second time, a cashier said that sounded like too much to pay for a toy car!
(MET: You are an honest and proper shopper!)
Hey sweet bug I found mine at target too and it wouldnt ring up either! We told the cashier the correct price and then he wrung it up for a dollar cheaper! isnt that weird? I thought they must have just put them out because the upcs werent in their system. I was so thrilled to find him cuz I didnt even know he was out!!!
Saw 4 tonight at Target. Picked up 2, one for me and one for trade, so someone else will be happily surprised. Speaking of surprised, I had a worker check for the Final Lap case in the back, and he said they had it. He came out with a case- of 2008 Storyteller 3-packs. Someone had slapped a “087-07-0116” sticker on that box for some reason. I will probably have to buy the case B Final Lap cars on the internet, as I think they are all gone around here.
Just got back from my Target and they are putting more StoryTeller 3-Packs out as well as No Stalls & RPMS. I also went to Walmart and they had 2 Macs (skyline). I looked at the back and saw Sidewall Shine so someone must have gotten him before I got there. Looks like No Stall/RPM are Target only right now and Walmart will get Sidewall Shine/Mood Springs and TRU will get Shiney Wax since they had him in their ad? Just my thoughts…
I think the Shiny Wax pic was a generic pic and has popped up before, for other retailers and online.
Actually, my husband found RPM and No Stall at Toys R Us here in SoCal.
Target has Sidewall Shine. That is where I found it.
Can’t wait more and more out of the Pocket i just hope sidewall shine comes in a kmart car.
At least it looks like he’ll be available in a launcher for those who didn’t get a Sidewall Shine racer in the TRU promo.
Scheduled to be released as both Pit Race Off Launcher and Lightyear Launcher.
I am with you Nicole and hope to find this at Kmart.
Ooooh, I love me some In N’ Out burger! Too bad I live in Iowa and can’t get any!
Mmmmm, me too. Had some on the way home from picking up the Christmas tree 🙂 Soooo good.
Best hamburgers in the world.
Ask for your burgers and fries “animal style” next time you’re there!
They are the best burgers anywhere.
Stop talking about food, specially In-N-Out…!! I’m hungry!! 😛
Nation’s restaurant in Concord, California has the best chili of any restaurant I have ever had.
nuh-uh….. Wendy’s has the best chili…. hands down!!!
Not true, Mighty Taco’s chili is better than Wendy’s, but still not as good as Nation’s.
Sorry! Totally forgot about the In N’ Out burger comment. But I do have to agree that Wendy’s chili is good. But George Webb’s chili and chicken noodle soup is by far the best ever!
Sidewall is cool, but i found Richard Clayton kensington today at Wally World…package and vehicle are AWESOME! (drool)
I agree — Richard just might be the nicest of all the Cars!
Definitely at the top of the list for fit and finish. Glossy black paint, no chips or other imperfections, and the new packaging really rocks!
All the Race Car Logos are fun and funny. The haulers bring out the best in the Pixar designs. Details are so much easier to see up close!
If anyone if familiar with the French game Milles Bornes, something about the Sidewall Shine logo reminds me of a couple of the playing cards.
In the cars checklist that came with night vision mcqueen it said that Car 114 was Nurse Mia and 115 was Nurse Tia, but 114 is actually Chase Darrell and 115 is chase DJ. Do we have an up-to-date list of the numbering? It’s only because over here (UK) they don’t write the names of the character on the front, so if you are asking other people to hunt for you (including store staff!) it’s easier if you can tell them the number on the box.
Thanks a lot,
Jon
(MET: Coming this week – fixed and updated, I think 🙂 ).
Just came from a Target in Illinois and nothing.
Anyone have the DCPI number?
Rich
087-07-1891, but it’s the same DCPI as all the other Haulers.
The DPCI number can also be found on the SHELF TAG, in VERY small print. Just look for the 087 “prefix”.
I went to a Target today, I found Sidewall Shine Hauler. Here’s the numbers that are on the bottom of the box: R6566, Asst.N5532. The UPC number is 02708483870.
yes, this is one of the cooler looking haulers.
Both Sidewall Shine and Mood Springs hauler look great – I’m a little more excited about them since they were not preceded by a megasize semi release.
Quick question – have the Mater the Greater 4 packs only been found at TRU so far?
Happy holidays to everyone on take5!!
Would you say that the only more exciting would be if Mattel dropped the Mega Size Semi’s completely?
No, it would be better if they canceled them, then recalled them all and sent us Richard Clayton Kensingtons instead.
… love at first sight…
Very nice, but we want Vinyl Toupee!
Just remember, you’ll have to use hair gel on Vinyl Toupee Hauler or his roof will be a mess going down the road!!! 🙂
They ought to make the roof removable, or at least a layer of it. I’m looking forward to that scheme on a hauler….
Looks great. I’m hoping our walmart gets them. I’m tired of shelves of trunk fresh hauler.
You’ll probably see them sooner at Target. 😉
yay! this one looks great! cant wait to see mood springs in person too!
I think so too. Bet I can beat you to the store?!?!? 🙂
LOL well i already have one coming! 😛 from you know who!
Are you talking to yourself??
Found 3 Sunday.
Target has taken the lead in hauler distribution! NoStall, then RPM, now Sidewall Shine!!!
Wow just found the RPM and No Stall the other day, can’t wait to find this one though, but hopefully the launcher will be right around the corner as well to help out those that are still missing this guy.
Zhu Zhu is Phu Phu:

That testing company that made claims already recanted their claims. can we say Lawsuit by Cepia?
hahahahhaha, LOVE the commentary. thanks for the chuckles MET. I have yet to see any new haulers here in Montana…. but I know they will come.
Too bad we don’t have the race car to go with it. That makes a lot of sense.
The same thing happened with Octane Gain… hundreds of haulers – no racer! Then came Kmart Collectors day 3, and we got Octane Gain (with rubber tires). Now, he comes in a Team Octane Gain set and a 4-pack of racers. With Mattel, when it rains, it pours!
A long time ago, a year or so, Octane Gain came out as a launcher. That was the only way it was available until the rubber tire version. It was never available in a single package.
Oh, “Sidewall O Shine” probably isn’t far off…. ~sigh~
Very cool hauler
Cool but this is the first one that does not have a decal on the top. When you place them in a line, this ones just yellow from above. 🙁
Yeah..that was what I noticed too…just plain yellow doesn’t look very “cool”.. 😕
