There’s a new “Cavern” playset for your Radiator Springs 500½ Toon diecasts.

Coming in Wave 2 … “Fillmore with Jugs” Off-Road Mater “Old Timer Sarge.” The names for Fillmore & Sarge are unofficial. There is one other unidentified release, it simple reads “RS500 Diecast.” It seems unlikely that it’s Ramone as RS500 Ramone is not “oversized” and thus priced accordingly like the others in this Toon series […]

There is a new PLANES poster up – it’s not terrible exciting but it’s a free PDF download. Thanks for the heads up, “RRichie09.”

Since the new oversized deluxe come with a moving feature – do Lil’ Dipper or Dipper … wheels fold in?   “Blazin” Blade Ranger – presumably the same working feature of an open door and hook? (This is Blade Ranger as “CHoPs” helicopter cop – essentially a repaint with tinted glasses and helmet).

“Danrio” spotted this nice deal at TRU. It’s unclear how long the sale lasts or if it’s in store – but you can ship/pick up at store for free in case you don’t hit the $49 free shipping offer. This might even be lower than the original price back in 2006. I think I paid […]

The Disney Store diecast metal Smokejumpers have finally been released so now we have all the major contenders checking in and frankly, no one has done all 5 (6 counting Maru) correctly so basically, you can mix and match or just go with one line. Tomy from Japan are mostly right sized but their Dynamite […]

Thanks for the great comparison pics, “Cars4MySon.” In a nice surprise, Ryker from Mattel is actually larger than the Disney Store AND it also comes with a moving water canon arm (there’s probably an official word for the pointy hose thing) … This is one of the few instances where the Mattel version is larger […]

Great news! TRU seems to have doubled the value of your CARS diecast! Well, technically 71% increase in value … that is the only way to look at it, right? Right? Right? Or if you prefer, 42% inflation. Not so good. Of course, you don’t mind paying extra as charity to Bain Capital Partners LLC, […]

There’s no listing for how many box sets there will be … this might be the first one? NOW on Amazon. It might make sense since they are producing Tach-O-Mint for the first case of singles, this might be the 1st 5-pack. The most basic math is that we’ll get 35 of the Piston Cup […]

One more Radiator Springs Classic release to go after the arrival of Costanzo Della Corsa … same as the last release, segmented face. Milton Calypeer is the only one left on the list – does this line continue to 2015? Nothing new yet.
