First look at the upcoming Deluxe oversized CAR – Mattel’s Grem with Camera.

Thanks for the nice open photos, “Mark of South Dakota.” Lizzie 2014 does not appear to a variant from the last release – the windshield is still an “insert” piece- along with the round radiator above the hoodline. You can read about the first two main variants HERE. The eye position also does also slightly […]

Mattel has provided a photo of the upcoming single release of Todd (Pizza Planet): While he does show some rust … this is actually a clean version of Todd versus of his last release. So, will he actually get a “clean” Todd release? Or did someone just snap an early photo?

The Star Wars Celebration Weekends are May 15 to June 16 this year at Disney World’s Hollywood Studios. Last year, of course, they introduced the CAR WARS CARS … they are continuing this year with a box set of the tractors as Sandtroopers. These are $19.95. Thanks for the heads up, “NascarBronco.” The one on […]

Lubewig is one of the most detailed and fun sculpts – certainly of  the 2014 Themes releases: What’s nicer is he’s not a one-time release CHASE so he’ll be around … Nice brand new and fun sculpt. He is fellow rust-eze CAR or perhaps, what’s French for rusty CAR? Thanks for the great open photos, […]

Through March, we have now had 4 cases of singles released, a couple deluxe oversize cases and at least in Europe, a Movie Moment case. We’ve also had Haulers, Toons and lots of PLANES but the retail situation is still feast … Or famine. First, there are forces beyond the apparent control of Mattel – […]

Several oddities – 2014 started with the continuation of the case code lettering of 2013 but with the new card designation DISNEY WORLD OF CARS. But now, after running through the rest of the alphabet – CASE A seems to have arrived at retail … and it’s back to the more correct “Disney • Pixar […]

A few days ago, a mysterious but nice looking Mack paper box bundle of 11-CARS showed up. Now, there is a nice looking Chug version with 11-PLANES simply called Planes Diecast Vehicle Collection Bundle. (well, technically, they call it “Vechicle” but I’m presuming it’s a typo and not some crazy trademark spelling thang). Very nice […]

There was some confusion about the 4 different kind’s of Van available … the simplest is just to take a snapshot of a page from our Complete Open Checklist 2006 to 2011 issue. Van – first released in the World of CARS series (2008) wearing a snarky expression. Van returned as a “Night Skyline” lenticular […]

It looks the names of the Yacht Race Fans (2-pack) are: Carin & Kimberly Rims
