Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: Walmart Fall Reset – 4 Feet of CARS or Fail
The Fall WM Plan-O-Gram* is up – well, at least the sheet.
For “28 feet” stores, the news looks pretty good. Walmart seems committed to CARS/CARS 2 all the way through 2012.
Whatever is not on page 1 is continued on CARS Page 2 …
Everything under the Sun & Moon is listed including Action Agents, playsets, launchers, Shake ‘N Go’s and Mack/Wally Haulers … so if the POG sign says 28-feet of diecast vehicles, you’re in good shape – hopefully they will actually stock it but at least in theory, they seem committed to stocking it so that’s at least a good sign.
However, if your store’s plan-o-gram reads 24-foot store … that 4-feet seems like CARS is the tipping point of FAIL.
The 12 pegs for CARS singles is fairly normal – it is odd there’s a row of Tech Deck skateboards in the middle of the CARS section. The V2843 Oversized is the regular oversized series.
Surprising there’s a peg for Action Agents but I suppose there are some left in every store to fill at least one peg.
But there’s a lot missing: Micro Drifters singles (3-packs), Micro Drifter launcher, Micro Drifter Mack, Micro Drifter Colossus, Micro Drifter playsets, 1:55 playsets, Movie Moments, 1:55 launchers, Change Up playsets, CARS Take Flight, CARS Take Flight Mission DVD, Lightning McQueen Hawk plus other plastic oversized CARS? There’s also no planned space for the Mack Hauler/Wally Hauler.
So, you might be able to tell from the 28-24 feet of diecasts POG what kind of store your WM is/will be. Happy shopping.
(That Nanospeed is a even tinier series of fast moving cars from Spinmaster, I think).
* For retail geeks, Target invented the Plan-o-Gram, though it seems pretty obvious. A plan shown on a sheet of paper for each season … hum, what a concept.

re-set done here at wally world and target nothing new same ole same ole
Went last night to Walmart and the planogram had 32ft at the top.
Didn’t think of taking a pic until I got home.
These sheets would be meaningful if they sold their old cases to Big Lots & Tj Maxx and put out something new.
I have plans to go to Walmart soon to start looking for new Take Flight diecasts…
I worked in a store for a year in the 90s, if you look on top of the shelves these drop-down shelf maps are up there, I am surprised more T5rs haven’t caught-on too this little look ahead to what the shelves will have soon.
Mine has been reset with no new additions except Take Flight. WOOHOO (sarcastic)
Went to a smaller Walmart near me and they had those little skateboards in between the singles like shown here. That Walmart has a TON a Raoul, for some reason. The only new things there were the two haulers, which I purchased! Larger Walmarts around here have the Take Flight cars and the “new” movie moments.

Went to one of the Walmarts near me and found that the pegs for cars were full. A lot of repeats, but I found the new movie moment 2 sets. I have been searching for Acer with helmet and finally found him there. I saw a spot for the two sets, but not acer. Through a thorough search, I finally found him where he wasn’t suppose to be. Maybe someone stashed it there with thoughts of coming back later to purchase it. Too bad, it caome home with me. SORRY!
I know how that works. In 2008, I found Roman Dunes stuffed between to Mack playsets, and found Leroy Traffik hidden behind a Smellswell Speedway ( along with Kathy Copter)
We’ve seen the 28ft around here, singles are Finn McMissle, Changers are wave 1, Deluxe are Submarine Finn and Lights & Sounds is(are) Bernoulli. Walmart hasn’t anything new unless the released haulers can be considered ‘new.’
TRU seems most committed to Cars, they can’t keep the Classics on the shelves.
When I read this I think of 3 cars… guess who.
Finn,Francesco,and McQueen.
Congrats! You win a cookie!
I never go to Wallmart for cars much,so this doesn’t matter for me.
