Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Where to Shop for CARS
“Por356” was nice enough to make a chart for visitors and travelers on shopping for CARS.
Feel free to add to the list in the comments. Thanks! “Por356.”
It is a list of places to shop for Cars. The idea is that others could add to the list.
I believe it would be good for travelers, especially those wanting to know about regional chains and local stores.
I have only included brick and mortar stores but web stores (eBay, Amazon, your sponsors, etc. could be added).
I have added a couple of British terms for overseas readers who might not be familiar with American terms.
| Name of Store | Type of Store |
| Big Lots | Discount department store |
| Burlington Coat Factory | Department store |
| Disney Store | Specialty store |
| Garage (Yard) Sales and Swap Meets | (Jumbles) |
| Gordman’s | Department store |
| K Mart | Discount Department store |
| Kohls | Department store |
| Macy’s | Department store |
| O’Rielly’s | Auto parts store |
| Schnuck’s | Local grocery chain (Southwest Indiana) |
| Sears | Department store |
| Target | Discount department store |
| Toys R Us | Toy store |
| Walgreen’s | Drug store (Chemists) |
| WalMart | Discount Department store |

Hastings has the world’s supply of Mini’s right now, as well as a $4.99 Yellow Ramone on crinkled SC card.
Aldi sometimes gets in special shipments of Cars too.
John, would you mind sending me a few Mini’s from your Hastings? Can only get them on eslay now for $20+. Van has been asking about her, as well as Jr. Manifold. ~ Mike mchlhff @ hotmail.com
in MN Fleet Farm had Lents, Toons and Haulers as part of their giant Christmas ToyLand. All on clearance now but the cases were old the day they were shelved…
Add:
Navarro’s pharmacy in Miami-Dade county
Hastings stores
if you needed Todd last year, that was the place to go. They carried that case for several years. Now just full of lenticulars with some common RaceORamas.
and the always reliable Mattycollector.com 😆
My bet for the future will be the dollar stores, with maybe some generic cardback.

Someone always posts lower prices …..usually right behind others postings give or take a few posts
pixar has a deal with the race cars in australia

Huge deception tonight at the new Super Wal-Mart we have opened in Little Rock. The grand opening was yesterday, I went today and pegs for CARS were identical as pegs at any other places in town… and I mean same lenticulars, same color changes, same old TOONs, GIL was there too of course and even bunch of SEMI from ROR… Where is the new stuff??? It means even for brand new stores they still have tons of old CARS to sell before doing a real reset… The end is near my friends… repent!!!!! ….. What we gonna do now ????…. I think CARS collectors must regroup, walk down to each store with torches and weapons go in toys section and burn them all !!!
Target’s current Cars Line-up now say “Active-NFC” which means… pretty soon they won’t get shipments in… I really hope my store gets the last case (Milo?, Duff, etc) Damn Mattel with their crappy distribution methods… 🙁
I’m sad and kind of happy that Cars 1 line is ending… Happy because won’t be going out of my way to buy Cars 2… but sad because stupid Mattel won’t finish Cars 1 line completely (At least in my opinion… no rest of Pitcrew/Haulers sets etc…)
I will say I’m sort of looking forward to Cars 2 Line up… but I pray Mattel doesn’t screw this off like Cars 1.
(MET: Coming next week – looks like only one or two more cases of Lenticulars so …).
I had no idea Cars were at some auto parts stores. That’s pretty cool. They should carry them at new/used car lots too.
Try Smith’s Marketplace in Utah (Kroger corporation).
my Ralphs has some cars in its shelf so does anybodies local Raplhs has a cars in its toy section?
And the famed Shopko in Wisconsin, some of Illinois, and where else – home to Chet Boxkaar and Paul Valdez
Baby’s R Us
Also:
Jewel / Osco in Chicagoland
HyVee Grocery stores (Midwest)
Schnuck’s Grocery stores are also in St. Louis and Central Missouri
Advance Auto Parts
Add to the list:
Travel America truck stops
Belk (Department store)
Stop and shop has a few pegs with cars. I have found chase cars, new launchers and some deluxes there. It’s not an everyday occurrence to find card there bug they do get a new case here and there.
Stop and Shop was the only place I have ever seen Bessie. Northeast US Super Market
Haha. Kmart is on the list.
I have had better luck @ King Soopers in CO, when looking for Toons, than any other stores.
I have found several at King Soopers myself. 🙂
Academy–sporting goods,
HEB–grocery store
Kroger grocery store toy isle-have found lots of chase and Toons before they’re anywhere else (Michigan)
And sister stores Gerbes & Dillons.
And sometimes Ross.
And in Oregon and Washington there’s Fred Meyer.
evil bay?
2 out of 22 in my town. One is WM, the other garage sales (which I don’t often do). 100 miles to anything else. No wonder I can’t find anything!
Add:
Walgreens-drug store
Bonton-Department store
Giant-Grocery store
CVS-drug store
Boscov’s-department store
Gabriel Brothers-department store
Pep Boys-auto store
Giant has been good to me. Stig Jr. got all of his first run CARS there right after the movie came out, and it was the first place I found Race-Damaged King before it was out anywhere else. Not a lot lately, though.
Bon Ton is the only place that ever restocks Toon cars around here. Definitely a good place to check!
