Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Precision Series Playset Lizzie’s Curio Shop
The Precision Series Playset Lizzie’s Curio Shop seems to be returning to stock.
Loaded with lights.
“Traffic signal blinks only three times after pressing it’s button, then shuts off. Doesn’t have a “constant” mode. It has no electric connection to the shop, it has its own very large and distracting battery box. The lights on the shop have two modes, a normal mode that just lights up, and a “light show” mode that blinks the individual signs in sequences. It’s very enjoyable, just wish the switch for the traffic light was a sliding switch where it could be left on constantly. Also wish the street lamp lit up.”
She’s back in black … and LIT. There is a single version coming – probably opening hood?
It looks like the released version has the battery above the street light. Thanks for the heads up, “Mad Mel” and nice photos.
Walmart.com has it for $155 (free shipping)
Mad Mel says hi from Pixar – he was at the Incredibles 2 event at Pixar earlier in the summer.

And this one… seems like they will go beyond what initially planned…

See this article about Precision town… and the comment I did couple days ago…

The “Lizzie’s Curios Shop” includes the same mini poster of the town. It lists and shows full drawings highlighting 11 buildings; the courthouse, Luigi’s place, Ramone’s place, Lizzie’s place, Flo’s place, Sally’s place, Doc’s place, Mater’s place, Sarge’s place, Fillmore’s place and finally the Piston Cup Racing museum, formerly “Glen Rio Motel.” But the seven storefronts between the courthouse and the stores on Cross street aren’t “filled in.” Does this mean they won’t be issued? I’d rather they be made available so as to have a “complete” town. Oh, by the way, the traffic light blinks three times and I swear the third blink is slightly longer than the first two.
Send em to Tuesday Morning. Lol
Is there any romour on what is the next part of the collection coming out ? Anyone have some guesses?
(MET: THe last list showed Doc’s Office …).
That battery above the traffic light is horrendous.
I also try to change the battery box. Looks like if they made it 5 minutes before midnight…..
(MET: Yea, it would seem one extra wire in the plastic tubing “light pole” could’ve sent enough to the stop light).
Ouch! That black battery compartment makes it look trashy. Ruins the aesthetics of all the playsets together in my eyes. (I will buy one however and maybe hack it)
Lizzie’s arrived yesterday from Amazon ($110 – don’t pay a dime more, it’s been in and out of stock. Better yet, wait for an inevitable sale). I actually used $55 in Discover points to get it just over $60.
Agree with the above assessment: 8 out of 10: Dinged for non-opening roof, ugly street signal box & button-pushing, non-continuous effect, and strange placement of signal over streets (it’s not really over Rte 66 at all, mostly Cross St). I also wish the included 2nd pole with transformer could be placed at Ramone’s, but it can’t.
Otherwise, it’s a great addition to Radiator Springs. It’s awesome to finish the intersection, and if you move Mater’s set across the street next to Fillmore’s, the buildings are close to evened up on each side of the street. For the next 6 months or so, until the next set is released. Hope it’s the Courthouse, myself!
