Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Radiator Springs Classic Box Sets
All three Toys R Us only Radiator Springs Classics CARS 1 re-release box sets listed are out.
(thanks for the great pics, John H.)
“Fixin’ the Road” with Fillmore, Sarge and the nice Lightning McQueen with Shovel.
“Main Street Spinout” with Purple Ramone, Luigi, Guido & Spinout Lightning McQueen.
It’s nice to note that Purple Ramone, Chick Hicks and the King are the only repeat re-release out of the first 23 releases in the Radiator Springs Classic lineup. And if you count the next 7 listed, that’s 3 repeats out of 30 releases … nice for those still looking for the original Townies.
There is also the 10-pack … “Three-Way Tie.”
There’s also a nicer photo from Mariela P. – Thanks!
(of course, most people will want to replace the fans in the stands with actual fans CARS). 🙂
So, your box set releases contain the following:
Of course, the oddity is that original Lightning McQueen is not back (yet). Perhaps, they are hoping kids won’t notice if you try and slip in a CARS 2 Lightning McQueen with Racing Wheels – there may be a few on the shelves or perhaps why they have included 15 Hudson Hornet (sticker) Lightning McQueen in the next few cases. FYI, don’t try and slip one by any kid older than 3-months old … THEY WILL KNOW. 🙂
(The first sentence they’ll complete will be – why does Spinout Lightning McQueen’s tires on his windshield not rubber but thin plastic … clearly not like the full sized and 4×4 tires Lightning hit in the film scene. 🙂 ).

In the three pack,Sarge looks like the original virant from way back.Wasn’t there a call back on the original Sarge for lead paint or something?
How much are the three packs? $12?
And does the Sarge in the pack have the USA insignia?
Nop, it doesn’t, and they are $12.99.
Normal Lightning McQueen is included in the Piston Cup 500 Track Set. The King is in it as well.
The classic line is great. Let’s just hope they keep it going.
‘(of course, most people will want to replace the fans in the stands with actual fans CARS’
I like the box – its a great scene from the movie – some one send me their empty box 🙂
I would fix it by replacing the Cars in the second row with:
Tim Twostroke, Wilmar Flatz, Polly Puddlejumper with her King antenna, Marty Brakeburst with piston cup antenna,and Matthew McCrew waving the King flag.
remove Tow Truck Tom and the Pace Car
Move Cartrip and Bob Cutlass to the third tier.
Gotta have Coriander Widetrack in there somewhere too!
The first change I would make would be Dexter Hoover with Checkered Flag.
Agreed! I’m still waiting for Dexter Hoover with the Final Lap Flag. After all, he was depicted on the card in the Final Lap Series and then never produced. Talk about dropping the ball!
Totally! I’ve always thought that he should have been the final Final Lap offered. Each Target would get one 12-count case full of nothing but Dexter Hoover with White Flag.
Near the end of the run for sure, but a case of only Dexter with White Flag, in most areas, would only be good for the first person to find it. You know what I mean.
Dexter Hoover with the checkerd flag was available in the final lap series. I found 2 of them at a Target years ago. But I made a big mistake by selling both on Ebay because I need the money at the time.
I found him at a Target a few days before Christmas 2009, and then I made one of my two stupidest moves I’ve ever made – I thought he was regular Dexter o_o
The second stupidest mistake I’ve made is left behind Chase Chuki. I bothered to look, but I though it was a simple package variant.
Dexter Hoover is what I need, but Chase Chuki would be like that, if i could figure out to display her on a shelf because I’m an opener and I organize my Cars by the numbers.
Spin-out McQueen, one of my favorites!
My guess is PC McQueen is going to be the next pegwarmer. The next 4 cases (T, U, W and Y) don’t include any so it might save us but I guess you never know.
Great to see the Cars that started this Addiction all off, No real hard to find cars yet though! which is a good thing as if Bessie or Frank re-appear then bang goes my trade bait 🙂
Does the McQueen in the 10-pack have blown out tires,I can not tell.
looks like it
Yes no rear tires, Finish line McQueen.
Love it!!
