Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: Old New Singles Arrive in German
These were originally scheduled for around April, 2012 for the US market but never arrived and now reside in some inter-dimension of time and warehouse space where nothing is real and nothing gets hung up on pegs … well, except in Germany.
“Dodger” sends these nice pics.
Of course, from the straight line diecut card and the latest numbers assigned, it’s clear they moved them away from Spring a long time ago … hopefully, this means, its release in the US is eminent …
Check out the no tires on Alex Vandel as the CHASE …
I guess Otis is back to “original” Fred size?
And Suki, the party girl …
Thanks for the great find and photos, “Dodger.”
For those curious, this was the F case listing – whether it’s still the F case or the same assortment for international is hard to say,

Found Otis just now at Tesco UK, anything else new in the case had gone!
Alex Vandel shouldn’t have wheels at all, but I guess Mattel was too lazy or felt it was too difficult to simulate brake calipers and rotors.
(MET: I think kids still want a CAR that can roll …).
These have to be in the new case N and P I believe Walmart exclusive pallet drops coming soon. I feel some Cars displays coming soon too. I haven’t seen and displays since the Victor, Vladamir case. We are overdue and it’s the right time of the year for that type of thing too.
Every new car is a Chase car thanks to the massive uselessness of Mattel!
For sure!
These are SWEEEEEEET!! Hope ANYTHING new comes to North Central Florida SOON!! LOL
I’m not a fan of the Cars 2 series; but I may pick up an Otis(if I see one), since he is part of Radiator Springs. His bio makes it seem like Ramone is the new ‘doc’, since Ramone makes the repairs on Otis.
Great case, hope it makes it to our stores soon. The problem now, though, is since Mattel screwed up so horribly with the Finn/LMQ/Mater/Francesco debacle most stores seem to be only ordering a case or two ff new releases, making each new Car a Super-Duper Chase/VVVVVHTF!
These two were on the poster handed out at Kmart this past weekend…so perhaps they are bound for the US… but they’ll never make it to the pegs.
Edit – Otis and Suki were on the poster.
I finally picked up an Otis online once the prices dropped…he’s still on his way, but I didn’t realize until now he was going to be so huge!
I’m glad to see new Cars turning up in other countries… now if only they’ll come out in the US…
I still haven’t seen the Kabuto case yet. Want this one even more though.
Cool!
As luck would have it, I will be in Germany in two hours… but only for two hours… at the airport. If somehow they have these at the Munich airport, I’d love to pick up a Alex Vandel on the way back!
Intriguing scenario! Please check back in, maybe under “Found in Other Stores” in the forums….
