Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: The Easy Off Make Your Own Hauler Package
“Steve F.” found these amusing attempt to “plus-up” the Haulers.
They would’ve gotten away with except for those meddling Mattel guys who never released a white Walmart racer …
No, these are not “real.”
They would have CLEARLY sniped the addition of a race car … and of course, they would have had to redesign he hauler box as it clearly did not fit …
And Dinoco/Gray would have included KING except that King, the single diecast is hard to find while Dinoco McQ is much easier to find …
And of course, the Hauler box is easy to open to add something – so it’s a nice bonus to get a racer but not authentic and not a “rare item.”
Well, rare like a real snipe, a jackalope or the Apple CAR available for $19.99.
Thanks, Steve F. for the amusing photo.

The real car hauler and pitty sets have now turned up in the UK, along with all the six pitty and crew chiefs.
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ‘0 which is not a hashcash value.
Long ago I found some unmade hauler graphics online that somebody made. They were pdf files I believe and you just needed ti print them on adhesive back paperfor and apply.
I should’ve grabbed them but didn’t.
Anyone else remember these and know where they are?
Are you thinking of JestrJef’s pit crew stands?
I have some files that GotFrank sent me the he made if anyone is interested in these.
Kevin,
Yes please. Cravacor@@yahoo.commmmm
Thanks,
Tom
Tom and others, I should have stated this is a cd. these are too big for email.
I will send you an email Tom. When you get the cd TOm just pass it on to another.
They were free to me to pass on so here’s passing them on.
Tom, would you mind passing these on to me when you are done? I’m at mchlhff@@@@@hotmail.com
Tom, I sent you the cd today. it is coming Priority Mail in the small box.
Priority mail, I should have it Saturday, then will send along to Mike!
These are PNG images not PDFs, and I believe they were made for the longer Mack Playset, but maybe they’re what you are looking for:

Yes DL, this is what I looked at a long time ago! Thanks for pointing me to them. I am going to try to fool with them in Visio to see what I can get to fit. I am no graphic artist, but I will try.
Anyone know why there are gray trapezoids through some of these designs?
The original Mack Playset graphics had those same gray shaded areas so they just carried them over to the new graphics. Some sort of attempt at 3D simulation of something on real haulers, I suppose.
Sometimes making your own is a good thing…
I combined the hauler/racer/pitty 3 pack with the team crew set (crew chief and 3 pittys) in the hauler hauler/racer/pitty box to create my own super set for the Leakless, Dinoco, and HTB sets… The Octane Gain, Nitroade, and Bumper Save sets went into a display case.
I also created my own Poor Man’s Speedway of the South set by using 9 of the Target 4 pack boxes… only the one with Revolting contains the 4 original Cars… I may see if I can print new labels for the boxes.
If only Mattel would have given us what we wanted…
Hey, you should post pictures of your displays on the forum!
That is cool! I love to hear about others’ displays.
Pics please.
Where were these found?
I think they are homemade…?
