Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Chet Boxkaar & Paul Valdez – Took the Long Way Home
“Rumber74” was FIRST to spot and bring home the long time awaitin’ Haulers, Chet Boxkaar & Paul Valdez.
Man, they took the long way home …
We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
Great detailing …
Nice new trailer compartment to Chet (while Mack slides out that way, Mack does not have the crates and his floor is not gray).
And same with Paul – not a new opening config but inside colors are new.
Nice to see the Haulers back in business.
Thanks for the great pics, “Rumbler74.”
I think CTC mentioned they have the case available.

Found the full case last Friday after I traded for one. 2 each
Paul, Chet and Macks. 14.99 each plus local tax of course. At HEB grocery here in Houston.
None at Targets. Target just keeps putting out more and more of the same ones we have had for years.
So don’t be surprised if you can’t find them at Target while the Target hauler sale is still going.
Best to look in out of the norm places.
And that sale at Target on Haulers at $7.99 is valid until 2/19… For the beginners, the ones behind or for some who convert to non-opener mid-way in their collection that’s very good… for the others be patient… very patient.
Hey MET if the GUILD of CARS’s topics is empty I propose some Quiz. Since you are the Master you may start a Quiz just for fun and see how collectors know their product and/or the movie characters… Here is some as a starter. That could be fun…
1- How many stickers Chicks Hicks has on his car? (The ones who owns the 2009 collector booklet must know if they have open it of course…) 🙂
2- Name all the released cars who do not have any wheel.
3- Which 1:55 scale vehicle is the heaviest? and which one the lightest?
That’s a good one!
Found these at SHOPKO in Wisconsin today! $13.99 each. AWESOME!!
Shopko here in Utah had them for 19.99 with 30% off last week.
Didnt find the chet boxkaar though
Yet another store we do not have in FLA! 🙁
Or Cali..
There is one in Cali …. its in REDDING!! GO GO GO GO !!! 😆

HEB didn’t have them here today.
Is that the “I” from the Incredibles?
(MET: Yep).
I hope someone can explain why as in the same box as Paul Valdez is Boxhaar should be…have run into Paul Valdez at 2-3 shops in europe over the last months, but never saw Boxhaar…is it different boxes for europe?
(MET: Yep, Outside the US, all decisions are made by the int’l team. Generally there are fewer cases – and so often it’s a combo of US cases).
We all live in different Worlds.
We have Paul Valdez, Mack and Gil on the shelves in Turkey, probably from the same case.
Wasn’t Chet shown with the Paul opening config. @ Comic Con, or am I mistaken? Cool, but I’d love to see some new opening configs. And, I hope they correct Oliver Lightload’s trailer.

Oops, typo when I typed the email adress, forgot the avatar.
Now how long before we see these widespread. Glad to hear that the haulers are not dead. I hope that there are 2 per case.
these are so cool i wonder when these get to L.A!
YES CHILDRENS TOY CLOSET DOES HAVE THESE MY CASE IS ON THE WAY THANKS TRAVER
kevin,
are you talking to me? I don’t get your sarcasm! if you have a problem, let me know, i’m sure i can take care of it for you!
Traver:
If this was meant for you it was would say Traver, it doesnt.
Now that the original statement is under moderation it wont show up.
The original comment did not have a name on it, so how is one suppose to know?
Private email and or phone call. Hows that for a solution
Awesome but I’m still waiting on some of the older ones to finally show up.
I neeeeeeed them!!!!!!!
THEY LOOK GREAT BUT IF LIKE THE LAST 2 VINYL TOUPEE AND SHIFTY DRUGS THEY STILL HAVE NOT SHOWN UP AROUND HERE. IT SEEMS THAT THE STORES AROUND HERE DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CARS AS WE GET THEM ABOUT 3 OF 4 MONTHS AFTER EVERYONE ELSE.
paul has been out in the uk for quite a while now, how wierd is that!
boogity
At least Met didnt use the Convoy song.
Showin’ yer age thar, boy. I ‘member that tune. Sadly.
“It was the dark of the moon on the 6th of June, and a Kenworth pullin’ logs, cabover Pete with a reefer on and a Jimmy haulin’ hogs……..”
I have C.W. McCall’s CD if you want to hear the rest!
Cool. I remember listening to my brother’s 45rpm of this way back when….
Does it refer to Convoy which Kris Kristofferson starred ? Coooool!!!
The song came first(1975), then the movie(1978). The song became the outline for the script/storyline for the film.
CW McCall was sort of a “one hit wonder”, though some of the other songs on the album aren’t bad.
I think I had the Hot Wheels scale semi from this movie. Was it red and white? It had really great hubs on the wheels.
I still have my 45 of this song. Scary!!!
So cute and tiny — I can’t wait until they grow up into full size Haulers! Just add water, right?
I love the haulers. Whether you think they are a tad small or not, they are just awesome!! My son plays with his haulers just about every day. I wish we had a HEB grocery store near us!! 🙂
It’s been so long…can’t wait to get these two guys 🙂
Cool. Hope to find these soon! Where were they found??
