Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: TRU 5-Pack Variant Alert
The new 5-pack exclusive has arrived at TRU.
A nice set – long awaited in one sense – the tuners all in one box – nice for newbie collectors who are not crazy about the lenticular versions.
The Radiator Springs Chase Gift Pack is slightly misleadingly named for collectors – for casual buyers, it makes perfect sense … it’s not “chase” in the collector chase sense but in the cop car chase sense but you sensed that and it makes total sense for those whose sentinel senses are tuned into the sensational sensation of CARS collecting …
Looks innocent enough for long time collectors who might think – I’ll pass … well, you can – though for completists, GOTCHA!
VARIANT alert.
CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG.
This is the FIRST release of DJ with fixed eyes/classic design with the CORRECTED green striping-piping …
Yep, fixed for the lenticular and fixed on the fixed eyes-classic DJ with metallic paint chase version but in regular paint, FIRST!
Now, he might make it out as a Final Lap single but as of now, the only place to get green striped corrected DJ is here …
Er, collect them all!
You would’ve just wasted it buying a $13 Starbucks coffee plus a tip anyway – now, you can own the first ever set of DJ with corrected paint that is not liquid and will last forever.*
Thanks “Mariela P.” for the nice pics – thanks!
*or until you lose it – whatever comes first.

FYI – DJ is in the book of tall tales – Tokyo Mater to be precise… he is the final page or so of the story book and he is in full DJ outfit!!! Carzy!!!
hi Met! nice to meet you. I just wanted to know if anyone can upload to you tube the commercial from walmart where they appear hauler wally talking to mater, because I read in wikipedia that there was a TV commercial to promote the movie Cars and I have wanted to see it. Thanks!
(MET: Yea, was not able to find that one but a lot of others are posted – linked from the T5 YouTube page – see link on right column)
ok met, thanks for your answer and you know if you can upload do it I will wait. thank you soo much
Thanks for this sensible post, Met. I’m enjoying it with a cupof coffee from my Senseo (Google it if you think I don’t make sense)
(MET: I prefer the Tassimo and of course, a new post that would fit it to a T).
Take an Impound DJ with the correct green stripe cut off the boot and voila DJ!
Thanks but pass on this set too.
I’ll probably pick this up for myself…my son has the originals but they’re all lovingly played and crashed with…
hello! would like to know if anyone saw or has that walmart commercial, there appears mater talking to wally hauler, because I never saw the commercial and I would like to see, could upload to you tube or something?
(MET: What was that 2006? Did we even have YouTube? Or hoverboards?).
I saw the commercial but I have not, sorry!
Would have been more appealing if they where the booted versions…although i think as they were released as chase cars that would prevent them being BOOT’ED.
It’s a shame that Gift Pack isn’t $13! What is the price anyway?
$20
just wait til it goes on clearance.
you know I never paid attention to Sheriff’s mouth before. Why are his teeth red? Someone punch him in the mouth?
I think this is a great set, but I really dislike the box. I prefer the ‘neon light’ packaging from the supercharged Tunerz 3-pack.
what toyrus was it in a uk one
Finally! Something with a correct DJ without stupid eyes!
YES! I agree!! I love the Tunerz and have been waiting for them to make a correct DJ (without google eyes!)
by correct eyes in thepost is that just talking about lenticlear?
Buy 5 cars for a green stripe? I am done with the slight variation game. I have always collected them all but now the minor variations I no longer want. Perhaps as a single I would buy the DJ but I am not wasting 20 something dollars to have a different colored stripe on DJ.
Mattel has turned me from collect them all to collect all the characters and variants that I want. They should have sold this set 4 years ago but I guess when you are trying to milk the cow for every drop at the end you get some useless stuff.
Mattel and their bs turned me from collect them all to sell them all. Just K-Mart days for me now. Collection completely gone.
Even though I have plenty of all of them as individual Cars, I’ll probably buy one of these to keep boxed… One can never have enough Tunerz… and of course the Sheriff needs to keep an eye on them…
I wonder if the next variant of this boxed set will be the 4 Impound Tunerz with the Sheriff?
HOLY COW! ELEVEN SHOTS OF ESPRESSO???
Wow.
My heart is practically beating out of my chest at the idea of that much caffeine racing through my system.
I’ll bet whoever drank that was so jazzed they could stay up for daaaayyyyssss.
But I digress. I wonder if there will be a variant that includes the booted versions of the cars?
I know, if you need that much caffeine you should just face the facts and get on Vyvanse.
(MET: Are you suggesting it’s not a good idea to take your Vyvanse with an 11-shot espresso?).
😯
And of course, they STILL forget to paint his open mouth.
