Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: CARS 1 Diecasts Return to Toys R Us

Random sightings of CARS 1 diecasts have returned to Toys R Us.

The new series is called “Radiator Springs Classic.”

Cardback. The Master UPC is 7-46775-20865-3. Or Chick is: 7-46775-20875-2.

Thanks for the great pics, “Mr. Mark T!”

Here’s the single checklist. Besides the obvious three, it seems likely the other 5 singles on the back will be in the first few waves.

There is also a 10-pack coming – contents and photos here.

Where is Lightning McQueen? Clearly they figured everyone wants Lightning McQueen so he’s NOT available as a single or even in the 10-pack. There are two unknown 3-pack listings (no info other than 3-pack) … it seems likely one of the three packs regular LM with Guido & Luigi?

There are no other townies in the 10-pack leaving the most obvious missing townies as Doc, Fillmore, & Sarge who are probably in the other 3-pack. Of course, there’s Lizzie & Red but I don’t anyone is really expecting them soon.

Flo’s V8 Cafe, the playset is on its way (thanks for the photo, “Lovemini.”)

    I actually never picked up a plastic tires N20 Cola, and my Dexter Hoover’s mirror broke off, so I need to pick those up. Any more racers scheduled? I need a bunch of Rubber Tires and some plastic tires.

    Some of these cars I don’t have, so I will be buying some of these.

    Sweet! Kinda makes up for the lack of Cars2 diecasts.

  • Fillmore1234 says:

    All 8 on the back were released in the first Case. Then probably the other 7 on the list will be in the next Case. I’m looking forward to N2O Cola, he’s one of the last 4 Racers from Cars 1 I need.

    (MET: It looks like a case of 12 so clearly most are just one to the case – how many cases does it look like your TRU got?)

    • Fillmore1234 says:

      Haha Met, your talking to the only person on this website with no TRU within 2 hours of me. I am going to Springfield IL and St. Louis on Wednesday or Thursday, so I’ll see if I see any of them.

  • Tom says:

    These look cool, definitely looking forward to Lizzie!

  • flarf says:

    Is there any difference between the previously released Flo’s Cafe and the new one?

    • danrio says:

      I don’t have the actual “new” set for comparison, but I do have one which I purchased in April of ’09. Perhaps this might help determine whether they are the same or different.

      The set previously pictured on Take5 was, indeed, an earlier release than the one I have At any rate, the UPC code on my TRU exclusive playset is 027084548631. It features Flip-open cafe, Flashing spark plugs, Turntable & launcher and Pedaled gas pumps.

      The back of the package bears the following text:

      Come fuel up and let your engine cool at Flo’s V8 cafe. With three levels to put it in park, you’ll find the townsfolk sippin’ on oil, samplin’ exotic fuel or quenchin’ their thirst with a little notroade. And one thing’s for sure – Flo’s serves the “finest fuel in fifty states”!

      There are also pictures with text describing the Flip-down balcony, Exotic fuel bar, Refreshing oil cooler, Flashing lights for nighttime fueling!, Press the pedal to “fuel up”!, Take a spin on the rotating turntable!, and Hit the road with the spark plug launcher!.

      There is also text on the side of the package bearing the prophecy: “Vehicles sold separately, subject to availability”. (An extremely understated disclaimer!).

    So far, I have only seen the Tractor Tippin playset. Can’t believe TRU wants $27 for it though.

  • Odd choice for Wave 1… Shiny Wax? Dexter Hoover? N20 Cola? They’re not exactly “Radiator Springs Classics” are they? I would just repeat Wave 1 from 2006. It had the really obvious characters from the movie (with the exception of Leak Less and Nitroade.)

  • Fabolous says:

    I found all 8 Singles, Flo’s V8 Cafe and Tractor Tippin set at TRU in Minnesota yesterday.

  • cac1959 says:

    I’m glad to see the return of Cars… TRU looks to be the retailer staying with the product line… hopefully they’ll be available online as my closest one is almost 70 miles away.
