Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: “New” Radiator Springs Classics
“New” Toys R Us only exclusive Radiator Springs Classic CARS 1 diecasts have popped up in stores. “New,” in the sense that they do not appear on any official lists yet.
Thanks for the heads up & nice photos, “John H.”
King & Check have already been released so the other 6 shown are “new” to the Radiator Springs Classic lineup and previously NOT listed.
I’m not sure if the other 5 were in the same case as Bug Mouth McQueen – either gone already from the pegs? Maybe John can update us in the comments or if anyone else has spotted these on the pegs at TRU?
Other than King or Chick, there does not seem to be any crossover repeats from the CARS 1 re-releases within the 2013 Themes card series … which is nice in one aspect but on the other hand, TRU does not seem to have these regularly in stock. For most, Marilyn and Nick Stickers were only briefly available as a Final Lap release so these should be easier to find. The others are more common releases/re-releases though Dinoco Chick has always been popular and hard to keep in stock.
The entire singles-only TRU Radiator Springs Classic re-releases checklist is here.
Thanks for the nice photos, John H.

Same in in Southern California. Wonder when they may be restocked.
Is it odd that my local TRU has never, ever had any car in this series? They don’t even have pegs for them. 🙁
Only saw Dinoco Chick, Yellow Ramone, Bug Mouth McQ & Mario…
That’s funny; on the pictured cardback Mario has uncorrected rims; but in pictures someone posted recently of the actual assortment Mario has the corrected red rims. I love seeing the continued return of Cars 1 cars, especially Final Lap cars, but what a weird choice in Nick and Marilyn. Why not start out with Race Damaged Mood Springs, Antonio and Costanza?
Checked our TRU last night, no Radiator Springs Classics, period.
i’m glad i don’t need any of these as my TRU has not had anything new since november of last year
Supposedly I found a fresh case yesterday, but I did not see or physically open it. It had 2 Ramones & 3 Marios. Maybe there was some remnants from another case, or a mispack, but I know the manager pretty well and he said they just put them out. I dunno.
The Case contents were posted by Rwinkies on CTT:
5 Bug Mouth McQueen
3 Yellow Ramone
2 Mario Andretti
2 Dinoco Chick Hicks
Marilyn and Nick Stickers are supposed to be released in the next Case.
Sales seem to be strong. I hadn’t been in TRU since Christmas. There were only two Radiator Springs Classics singles in the store, a Mater and this one Bug Mouth McQueen.
Just to make it clear, the open one in the photo we got years ago, it is identical to the one in the new RS packaging.
Checked another TRU today; 30 Bug Mouth McQueens and a dozen yellow Ramones. (no other Radiator Springs Classics)
No TRU in my town.
