Disney Pixar CARS: Frank the Combine Tractor Tipping Box Set – Now Online …
Delayed slightly but now online – CARS Tractor Tipping Set.
This LIMITED EDITION Box Set will ONLY be available ONLINE and at the NYC Times Square Disney Store.
Not only do you get the beautiful and HEAVYWEIGHT SOLID DIECAST Frank the Combine but 3 Tractors of varying designs (all heavyweight metal diecast also) plus Lightning & Mater …
I never thought a $59.50 box set would be underpriced but it’s a bargain!
There is some question about how limited of a limited edition it is. I don’t have a photo of the back of the box so it does not say if it’s limited to X numbers. Generally with every box set release, it is “limited” in the sense that this combination is limited to this production run … unless they say specifically, 1 of X, then it’s not really a legal statement. And it’s all dependent on sales … if this run sells out in three week, then Disney will bring it back – maybe not with this design or a slightly different Mater but presumably it’ll be back – that said, it’ll take at least 4-5 months before they can schedule production and get it shipped MINIMAL and of course, fast tracking production is costlier so they will weigh their options – most likely, it’s closer to 9-12 months before a Tractor Tipping Box Set comes back … so if something is available once a year, then it’s “limited” as the definition goes.
Like original Frank, he was not “limited” as marked on the box but after selling out and was gone for many years, buyers considered him limited and jacked up the price … so at the end of the day, buy it because you want it/like it/love it – whether to open it or just display it – not because it’s stamped super limited or limited or unlimited.
And as for pricing, since this is not grouped with theme park merchandise, there is generally no pricing or buying restriction – so if there is a coupon offered – if it’s in stock, you should be able to apply the coupon.

Anybody with information think this will be on sale again online? Not on ebay but on the disney store?
The Ebay prices for these are incredibly high considering this set would only be $39.50 at this time @ disneystore.com if it were still available.
Good lord has anyone checked out the eBay prices on this? Wowza
(MET: Don’t buy yet, not sold out – check tomorrow’s update).
Well one seller bought them all, that’s why it’s sold out!
As much as I want it I could never pay that eBay price. I shall wait.
A l;ttle too late… 🙁
Found this online earlier and now people are saying it’s SOLD OUT!! 3 Weeks Met? 😀
Why no limit disney store. What the heck!!!
It is unbelieveable how fast they went!
Now that sell out was fast. Do we know if these will get relisted or this it.
Sold Out! Ouch!
Did anyone buy a crazy amount of multiples and care to sell me one?
“Sold Out”
That was quick!
GotFrank…GotFrank Limited Edition set???
Would it be a good idea to hold off and buy during Cyber Monday? Or is it possible that these sets sell out by Monday?
$59.90??? Bargin! (Well not really..)
(MET: It’s relative – Frank was selling for about $120 on eBay and I think the tractors generally were around $20 each).
Hey look, Mater looks like an imbecile again, thanks Disney Store
In for one. Thought about two, but there are collectors out there that want them more than me.
Even though I already have this Frank and those Tractors, I was planning on getting one of these. Due to some recent unforseen other Cars purchases it is not in my budget at the time. This is a great set for someone who needs a Frank.
