Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Paul Valdez & Chet Boxkaar – Truckin’ Sweetness …
If two “dirty grimy” trucks can be sweet – these two are it …
Of course, they do like nice at first glance …
But once you crack them open …
Have you hugged a hauler?
It’s all about the details, baby …
You can just picture yourself behind one … and shouting, it’s only a little icy hail, come on – drive faster!
Actual length of ramp & bed – 45 feet!
(give or take 44 feet)
Chill baby, chill.
And very realistic, below is Paul’s cargo & actual shipment of Paul & Chet to 8,000 Targets & Walmart’s. 🙂
Oh yea, it should also be noted the cab diecast is actually quite hefty … so metal up boys (and girls).

not a bad case!
way to cool are these in the USA yet? cant wait to search every local car selling store
I’m pretty sure I’ll see them at Disneyland before anywhere else here in SoCal. And we’re surrounded by Targets, Wal-Marts and ToysRUs’ and there is no way I’m paying the Disneyland price for a hauler, but if anyone wants one, if they are there, I’ll pick one up for you, going tonight. Just let me know!

I just saw these at Target along with Gask-its hauler and Tankcoat hauler. Lets keep these haulers coming mattel…
Come again…? Gask-its and Tankcoat hauler?

Hey, you know Lizzie … “you talking to me?” 😆
Unless “Lizzie” has photos of these at Target, I think it’s a safe bet someone is yanking our chains.
Thats exactly what Im saying. Need pics to prove this. Kinda funny how exeryone jumped on this 🙂
Cars have chains???? don’t you mean someone is sticking a banana in your tailpipe??? 😆
“Don’t be puttin’ no banana in my tailpipe!” “Beverly Hills Cop” line, as I recall? 😉
confirmed. Beverly Hills Cop I
Happy Australia Day to Hostile Takeover Banker and all of our friends down under!
Time for a Vegemite sandwich and a Mate Pie!!! 🙂
No Chets around here yet
I love the way the road dirt makes “stubble” on Paul’s “chin”. Chet’s expression looks like a Car has just pulled in too close in front of him. Artistry indeed.
these are 16.24 at the local store here, but well worth it. Just look at the fine detail in each, road dirt and grime. truck stops should carry Paul and Chet, truckers would love them.
Where is here and what store? Inquiring minds want to know if they will be in our neck of the woods anytime soon!
Houston/HEB. Right BMW?
Also, someone reported them in Wisconsin at “Shopko.” Maybe I should start checking NAPA Auto Parts or CarQuest or something….
Correct. HEB a Texas grocery store that has a decent toys aisle. I also found 4 Bessies there back in the fall.
it’s a neoclassic work of art…….i am caught in a Stendhal Syndrome…..
The details on Chet Boxkaar are incredible… I’m hoping one of my friends will find it for me soon, because they won’t turn up around here… I saw Vinyl Toupee and Shifty Drug Haulers at 1 Kohl’s on 1 occasion… nothing newer than Mood Springs at Walmart, Kmart, or Target…
There’s probably no way these will turn up a Target while the $7.99 hauler sale is going on (through mid February).
Thanks for the great photos and post.
I’m looking forward to finding these. The last time I found a new hauler, it was Mood Springs, and that was so long ago…
These are really very nice. I hope they keep on adding to the Haulers line, but the need to hit the big box stores so everyone can enjoy them!! 🙂
