Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: Target 4-Packs + Revised 3-Packs
The Target 4-packs of (mostly) racers is continuing for CARS 2 – now simply called Racing 4-packs.
Very classy looking … so do you open the singles or the 4-pack? 🙂
They seem to match the eye position and expression of the singles …
The top 3 listed are in CASE A and the 4th one listed here will be part of CASE B.
These 4 should all be available on May 16.
Thanks for the nice pics, “Red Vest Ninja.”
The only CARS in the 4-packs yet to be introduced is the Lighting McQueen Fan CAR.
Also revised – the 3-pack box sets – as the original names were truncated – leading to the false hope there was a submarine included but it was just Finn McMissile as a submarine so while each 3-pack includes one oversized Deluxe CAR, the oversized CARS all appears to be available on single deluxe cars separately. Here is the revised checklist.
The revised buying matrix & checklist for CARS 2 is coming next.

THANK GOODNESS THESE ARE A TARGET EXCLUSIVE! PHEW, I WAS WORRIED I MAY HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING THEM! *sarcasm* (and yes, nascarbroncosfan, I’m screaming it for you)
I do not think was needed directed at me.
Do different parts of the country get things at different times?? Because I am able to get short cards and deluxes and a single playset but nothinv else is available.
I guess the money I saved for the past 2 months by not finding any of the last final laps are going to the 4 packs. These cars are very nice.
CAN’T WAIT !!
Looking great!! But no so great for my wallet.. 😕
BELLISSIMI !!
I guess it would be too much to ask for a 4 pack with the 4 not available as singles; Miguel, Nigel, Shu, and Max. So now I have to figure out what is more cost effective…3 4-packs so we end up with 1 race fan and 7 Race car doubles or 4 launchers and no doubles. Hmmmm…Since we’re not planning on getting the other launchers, I think we’ll go with 3 4-packs so we have some back ups. There is a lot strategic planning going into next month!
If there are any lurking Mattel marketing people viewing this site, I really wish you’d chime in from time-to-time with packaging decision, marketing ideas, distribution news, etc.
That’s a great idea…and I sure wish they would get the promised Cars 1 releases done so those who aren’t collecting Cars 2 could wrap it up.
Just looked at the launcher checklist and Miguel Camino is not scheduled as a launcher. Haven’t seen him as a single either. So now if you don’t care about the racing fan, you can get the 4-pack with Miguel and Shu and Max and Nigel as launchers. That sounds a lot better than 3 4-packs. Now I can afford to get Siddeley too!
Who is exactly Lightning Mc Queen Fan?
Thousands of them…Collect Them All ! 😉
anyone have dpci on these?
087 07 1978 4 Pack Diecast 18.99
Here it is on the 4 pack.
Anyone know the price or DPCI on the 3 packs?
Its getting harder to decide which ones to get. Singles, launchers or racing 4 packs if you only want one or two of each. The 4 packs look very nice. I already have the first release of the launchers.
$18.99 — ouch! Weren’t the previous generation only $14.99?
You can say that again. How much are the launchers?
why is a set of 4 cars more expensive than 4 singles? shouldn’t it be the other way around?
I asked that question EVERY TIME I saw the Movie Moments from 2006 to whenever they went away!
The multipacks are more expensive because of shipping and storage. Those fancy boxes take up a lot more room in a truck and shelf space. You can pack a lot more singles in a case the same size as the ones that hold the four packs. 25 cars as opposed to 16. So in large volumes, the singles are more cost effective.
12.99 for the launchers according to the Target scanner
Ouch again. Now I’m seeing Nigel is scheduled as a single. But not Max. Just launcher or 4-pack. Miguel is only in a 4-pack. At least his 4 pack has Shu! But his 4-pack doesn’t have Nigel. So maybe if you get the 4-pack with Miguel and Shu, the launcher with Max, and Nigel as a single, you can get these four cars for just under $40. Good thing the World Grand Prix doesn’t have 36 cars!
(MET: It looks like all the racers will eventually be released as a singles but some not until close to the holidays/year end of 2011 so …).
May 16 just got a lot more expensive… gotta plan my agenda for the day… Walmart and Meijer shortly after midnight… Target store at 8 am… then onto Kmart… then Toys R Us… before returning home… several pounds of Cars2 Cars heavier… and several dollars lighter in the wallet…
That is so strange to see a 4-pack without Lightning, the King, or Chick Hicks.
strange and refreshing
Uh, John. Look again. LOL.
I meant this one: http://www.takefiveaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/4-pack2.jpg
I think Francesco will be the new Chick/King… or at least the new Leak Less! Look at his quantity in the first couple singles cases, and look at the breakdown of the four packs. Seems he will be pretty common!
I think you are right. He might as well be the most popular non-LMQ figure as he has to be the cheapest to produce. I think he has a spot about an inch long on top of his body that is metal. The rest is a cheaper grade of plastic than the color changers. I guess on a good note (to keep that glass half full people), Mattel plastic doesn’t chip as fast as Mattel paint!
great packs ! hope to find them on ebay !
Just hang out here on Take 5 and you won’t have to buy them on EBay. There will be plenty of members here offering them up soon enough.
i hope because we don’t have Target Shops here in France 🙁
