Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Ben Crankleshaft & Oliver Lightload Shipping Now
CTC is starting to ship out the first orders of the latest hauler case with Ben Crankleshaft and Oliver Lightload so you depending on where you are and storms, you should receive it in the next day to week …
And TWO nice surprises. Ben Crankleshaft does have the turntable ramp!
SDCC Proto Photo above …
And Oliver Lightload has a new ramp offering also …
While similar to Mack, it is different and different is nice.
But then a bonus interestingness!
What’s featured on the back cover on Oliver Lightload as ‘Collect Them All’ (next?)
Nope, not Shiny Wax, not Easy Idle … but …
Vitoline & Gaspirin – two dark horse entries … very interesting!
So, if Haulers aren’t done? Humm … very interesting …
Will we actually get those next? Another case coming in weeks?
Stay tuned. You ain’t nothing yet.
(well, technically we have seen nothing and frankly, we don’t like it so we wanna see the opposite of nothing – the opposite of nothing, the collect-them-all thinger).

MET, you got the Haulers mixed up. Oliver Lightload is the first one shown and Ben Crankleshaft is the one on the bottom.
I hope they keep the haulers. That’s basically all I’m collecting now. Keep ’em coming. I love the dual colors on Gasprin. Also, Oliver should say FN and Ben should say OMB.
New haulers should show up at Target sunday since the one month hauler sale at $7.99 will end the 19th…
Lets not forget if you buy the entire case and want to donate the extra Mack Haulers, Man-I-Fold and Myself are taking donations for these for families who could use a toy for the kids.
For the ones who miss my yesterday post mistakenly add to a reply way down… I wish to share with most members because I think about it for a while… 🙂
I have found a very old dusty book in a “garage sale” along road 66… The cover says…
“NostradaCars’s Prophecies”
Here are some excerpt prophecies and their meanings in parenthesis.
In the middle of Taurus month in the year of the two towers, great waves of joy will flood several cities including three major ones: Tozarous, Taraget and Walton City.
(May 15th 2011 will be the release of CARS toys at Toys R Us, Target and Wal-Mart)
New era will plunged in great darkness five years of occupancy, confusion, erratic and unfinished strategy of the controller.
(Line 2 will end the bad Mattel marketing administration of a incomplete line 1)
Over the world great storms of lightnings and thunders will strike doesn’t Matter when.
(Again, multiple versions of McQueen, Chick Hicks and Mater)
Countries will cheat and exchange green papers using Evil force.
(Again, collectors will buy unavailable or backdoor cars from different countries using Ebay)
Leader’s advisors will maliciously substitute material and turn product into gold.
(Mattel will reduce metal quantity and add plastic details to make more money)
Propaganda and promise land near Maya’s calendar end will built strong army for several generations.
(Cars 2 movie and Car’s Land in California due in summer 2012 will ensure millions of collectors and customers for a very long time)
I can only dream to see new haulers in the wild. The last one I saw was mood springs.
I’ve never found shifty drug, shiny wax, tank coat, vinyl toupee, or paul.
Well, shiny wax and Tank coat haulers are not yet released, no wonder you haven’t seen them.
THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU, MATTEL!!!!!!!!!! Please let them be real … and not just a teaser for us!! 🙂
What is in this Hauler case?
The case contents are 2 Ben Crankleshaft 2 Oliver Lightload, and 2 Mack.
Out already? I still haven’t got Paul and Chet Boxkar yet!
Does anyone know what that blue hauler is on the back of Ben’s package?
View Zeen???
(MET: Yep, forgot that one – check back for hauler photos soon).
it is view zeen. i do not have confirmation of anymore coming soon. as soon as i do, you all will be the first to know about it.
You have these in stock and ready to ship?
initial order has come in and gone out. more to come!
When you got more Hauler case? Any idea?
Thanks,
Chiesurin
ON THE WAY THANKS TRAVER
If Mattel will make them and I can get them at a reasonable retail price I will buy them… and I’m not the only one.
I’d like to see them release haulers for the racers that we already have Pit Row Race-off launchers for… now I have to hope they make the Pit Row Race-off launchers for Gasprin and View Zeen (and Tach O Mint and the other 17 currently unreleased ones).
It does make me wonder though… where is the Shiny Wax Hauler? Did Target drop the box set with the Easy Idle Hauler/racer/pitty as they dropped the Team Crew sets (crew chief and pittys)?
It’s going to continue to be an expensive time collecting Cars as we try to collect them all… Time to order another Carney Plastics CP-21/24 display case.
And great term, Met – bonus interestingness.
Still haven’t seen Shifty Drug or Vinyl Toupee in these parts!!
You aren’t the only one. I have seen exactly 1 Shifty Drug Hauler in the wild. It is the one in my collection. I have never seen a Vinyl Toupee Hauler. The last ‘new’ hauler in abundance in these parts was Mood Springs and that was BEFORE Christmas.
I’ve only seen Shiny Wax and Vinyl Toupee haulers at a few Kohls stores… nowhere else… and the way that Kohl’s sends items from their distribution center, what makes it to the stores is very different… they appear that they may split cases at the distribution center… I’ve seen just Gil at 1 Kohl’s and just Trunk Fresh at another Kohl’s – there were 2 of each in that hauler’s case.
These may show up at places such as Burlington Coat Factory and Big Lots, etc.
Shiny Wax haulers? You been holding out on us, Chris? (:
thats weird because our wamart has moodsprings and gil in the same case. I’ve been there when they have stocked.
They have 8 gils, 4 moodsprings, 2 macs on the shelf right now. The only trunk fresh I’ve seen there is the one I own.
Oops! I meant Shifty Drug… Shifty, shiny – what’s the difference?
I don’t think Shiny Wax hauler exists except for the occasional photos in ads and the Collector Guide.
You remember? Even TRUs use the Shiny Wax pic for the black friday event!
Looks like the Vitoline hauler has a moustache grille. Chick cab?
All racer team cabs have mustache grills. I think.
The HTB cab does have an extra bushy mustache grill, to fit it with the Chick/HTB pitties Mustache motif. Looks like they will use the same mold for Vitoline’s cab, or maybe it’s just a prototype photo.
I hope it’s just a proto. Like the yellow Shifty Drug. Lovin’ the dual Gasprin colors. I hope we see Shiny Wax. If Team Haulers continue, Easy Idle, N2O, and Rev N Go should be on the way in that order. BTW, why doesn’t Chief Chick sport the Chick ‘stache? (I know he was like that in the movie, why didn’t they give him one?)
The Chief is very independent. Check out the fierce look in his eye. He refused the mustache, ’cause he’s the chief! PV where’s your P.V. avatar? I miss it.
I’ve used my work email lately (No avatar), but I’ll switch back to home (With avatar). Anyway, where’s Chris with Tray’s avatar.
🙂
Sorry but I think you missed a third one on Ben Crankleshaft’s package, it seems to me there is a View Zeen Hauler too…
I saw that as well… Good eye 🙂
and I thought I would get to report first… LOL
Will cars 2 have a worldwide release on the same day?
No… For the movies anyway – As far as the die cast and toys line… probably not?!?!
