Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecasts: G’Day Ultimate Chase Hunting Australia
“Hostile Takeover Banker”has a fun story to tell us …
I went into a local Kmart over here the other day and was blown away by what I saw. This store was full of Finns and McQueens the other day and now ALL the Finns are gone, including all the oversized ones! I was thinking I had scored pretty well at this point. The Mcqueens seem to still be there though. I must admit I did a quick rearrange before I took the photo but there were many chase security officers and Becky Wheelins.
It should be noted that I’m not sure anyone in the US went to a store where there were this many Becky Wheelin’s and Security Dude Murakarmi … But wait, it gets better!
Anyway, I did a quick check through and headed to the check out then I had a really good think about the posts you had made on Take 5 about this case. It seemed largely intact with many characters I hadn’t seen in a while, then it dawned on me, there may be a Super Chase. I went back to look, this time a lot closer …
… and found one. I have had a really bad experience with cars hunting lately but this has renewed my faith!
Very nice! Did anyone actually find a FLASH Super Chase on the shelf at a retail store in the US? This was the post of the US release pics, I presume it’s the same card so as of now, US & Australia are the only countries these have turned up in …
So, good hunting Australia!

Mat is DA MAN!! Heck of a find sir!! :-}
That is AUESOME!
WOW! That’s all I can say
I’ll second that. Way to go, hTB!
Could not have happened to a better guy. Matt’s been a top notch guy and joy to deal with for years for all you rookies that don’t know HTB. I’m so happy for you. I know it’s often tough Cars going in the land down under and obviously prices aren’t cheap. So good for you guys when you get some goodies. Go get em Matt. Hope Andi is well too.
Good news and congrats! Let’s hope they start a refresh here in the US.
HTB great find! Fantastic.
For the record, Flash was also found on pegs in a Toy Store in Belgium by a collector I know.
Thanks folks, I really needed something like this to keep my passion going strong. The fact all the Finns are gone is also an interesting development. Also, thanks to Met, as without this site I wouldn’t ever have known to look for the superchase even.
Clean up in the toy Aisle please, a grown man just wet himself near the Cars!!
Congratulations! Lucky you
@Hostile Takeover Banker – which city are you in? I was lucky enough to grab a Becky Wheelin at the front of the pegs at my local Woolworths, but I’m yet to see an Officer Murukami. I think I’ve been to every Target & Kmart in Western Sydney & still seeing a lot of Finns, Maters, McQueens & Acers. Nice find though!! Still trying to track down a Frosty!
Great find, Hostile Takeover Banker… what I’d give to see pegs looking like that in a store.
Thanks for sharing the photos.
I would of fainted right there HTB!!!
Congrats Mat, nice score 🙂
Wow. Nice find. Seems like the US is the dumping ground for the rest of the World’s unsold McQ & Finn.
Holy smokes! Did you have to pinch yourself to make sure you weren’t dreaming? I have never came across a single Becky Wheeling or Murakami, needless to say a display full! Awesome sight!
Wow, amazing!
Wow, great find, HT Banker! Maybe you are the only person to ever find a Super Chase on the pegs? That is a good reward for someone who has had such bad hunting luck. Looks like there were at least two cases there based on the number of Wheelins in your pic.
LUUUCCCKKKYYYY LUCKY you!! So envious!! Ha ha at least it gives us all hope…just a little.
Congrats!
