While Tomy Takara CARS singles are 1:64 and usually look a skoosh too narrow, but this one looks suspiciously 1:55 in scale … I asked someone to pick up one for me in Japan but if you get one sooner, send pics! They also have some other Next Gen Racer singles not yet out in […]

Thanks, “GetMeCollectibles” & “PaulsMartStore,” or the early look at the Precision Series Doc Hudson’s Ornament Valley Mechanical Clinic Playset – scheduled for January 2019 but could arrive earlier (or later) – no pricing yet but they guess that based on the sized, priced around what Lizzie is priced at @$110?

These are intended for their 1:64 lineup of CARS so probably too narrow for Mattel’s 1:55 CARS … 🙁 But they look pretty cool … The Florida Speedway. The Rust-Eze racing Center Garage Only available in Japan.

There are also Crew Chief’s announced but no previews yet. And technically, the Lightyear Blimp should’ve been included but would’ve imbalanced […]

There was some question if Dinoco sponsored a driver in the Florida 500 race (the race where Cruz replaces Lightning as the Rust-eze driver). There are only about 30 cars on the starting grid.

I’m not sure if whomever owns MEGO now just gets the license in perpetuity from when these guys first signed the license? Or there’s no any licenses? Or they are just weird? SULU – not a huge surprise and it even looks like him … BUT if you guessed Norm Peterson from CHEERS was also […]

The 2018 Mater Variant is a throwback that you don’t wanna throw back … 2018: It’s an all metal cab, face & tow body unibody with the proper mis-match color back rims and black carburetor cap … but with a flat windshield … so mostly sorta like it sort of was in 2006. Let’s go to […]
