More PLANES diecasts from Mattel are coming … While Franz Fliegenhosen has been revealed, this one is interesting because it appears there is some lever mechanism on his roof so the wing can move? is it just minimal movement or can you actually remove it? The plastic ‘struts” are also thicker & with an extra […]

Rob (My 6 Kids) also sends along photos of the cardbacks from the first Deluxe releases: The Piston Cup theme series of diecasts – nothing too new as a card of N20 Cola had already leaked out … and of course, how can you even think of selling a CARS series without Marlon Clutches McKay […]

The 2014 Deluxe/oversized CARS are here … in the oddly named CASE H (normally, it should be CASE A but apparently the new singles CASE is CASE T, I guess maybe Mattel was confusing themselves and has decided from here on out only to start with A letter codes when the calendar year reaches the […]

Michael Wallis, author of “Route 66: The Mother Road,” and the voice of Sheriff gave an interview to radio station WGBZ. At about the 22-minute mark, you’ll hear him drop a pretty big nugget of news — that Disney-Pixar will make a “Cars 3″ film that goes back to Route 66 and includes Route 99, […]

“John H.” spotted this new CARS-PLANES pallet at Kmart … If gardening is not by toys, you may need to wander over. Plus Hydro CARS and Stunt Racers (including Jorg, hard to find for those interested). Keep in mind, none of these are on the Buy-5-Get-2-Deluxe CAR promotion eligible list of qualifying purchases. Thanks for […]

Jorg, Max Schnell’s transporter (from the Stunt Racer series) has arrived … He doesn’t look bad as a display item – the side detailing looks good enough. Thanks, “John H.” who sends along these pics, I think he mentioned Max doesn’t actually launch (too wide) – this is designed (in theory) for the Stunt Racer […]

Collectors of the Kmart CARS Day posters will be ever so slightly disappointed … Ta-da! Collect ’em all! At least it’s 2-color. And a poster fitting the CARS Day #10 extravaganza … event … cart in the aisle that this is. Hopefully it’ll at least be a cart in the toy section. So, just to […]
