Presumably coming next is CASE R – from the scant description, there looks like there’s another new Lightning McQueen? “Road Repair Lightning McQueen” Of course, we have Lighting McQueen with Tar – one of the weakest Lightning McQueen versions – not to mention any CARS diecast release. When he gets splashed with tar, he’s already […]

After all this time, the SR-71 Blackbird is still crazy awesome … Here’s the story of how the built this crazy thing (and destroyed all the molds afterwards). Story and super cool photos at Gizmodo. Gizmodo also has a separate story of an SR-71 pilot and flying this thing. Mach 3+ (NY to Washington – […]

Thanks for the update and photo, “Hoogie.” Everything must go – more photos from “Buckland Blowouts.” A little less enticing now that the diecast version is scheduled in the next case. Thanks Hoogie & Buckland Blowouts – see you back at Target US.    

Along with the Launchers: Tractor Tippin’ Race & Play, Highway Hideout, and Piston Cup Pit Stop – there are also larger playsets like Luigi’s Loop – there are also track extensions or you can use them as displays for your diecasts. They are nice priced. Amazon Links – $6.99 each. Note, Amazon had a little […]

Highway Hideaway is not quite canon but it’s still a nice looking display. It’s definitely unassembled. It’s not particularly canon but it does make for a fun intersection for kids. Here’s the tire stack from the 2006 Luigi’s for reference … It also comes with a loop that while it attaches to this Luigi’s set, […]

It’s Jumpstart J. Ward (If DW didn’t own Rocky/Bullwinkle, I’d vote for Phineas J. Ward). Thanks for the on card photo “Beccarelli B.” “John H.” sends along some great open photos. I believe the bottom mouth bumper piece is now metal. Still plastic faceplate when Victor Paveone was released (yellow Jag). Nice he has a […]

There is a 6-pack coming with 3 noteable releases. Buck, the male deer tractor is also coming as a single but most people probably will not quibble with having an extra one. Doe, the female deer is so far only scheduled in this 6-pack – that could change but for now … This 6-pack will […]

Thanks for the heads up & great photos, “Beccarelli B.” Arriving at Walmart – the latest Tokyo Mater 3-pack with new releases & possible variants. Well, one new release – Kabuto with Flames. While this has been floating around int’l eBay sellers, this is his first official release and of course, if you bought early, […]

A new 3-pack is listed. It comes with the hard to find singles, Pinecone & Pulaski. The 1st 2 3-packs are Walmart exclusives so this one presumably is also. It also comes with Firefighter Dusty with Pontoons. Give a shout if you see it online or in stores.
