Not very canon but looks like a nice display and the launcher looks like fun. Florida Speedway Pit Stop Playset

Thanks “John H.” for the great pics and detailed info. At the 2017 Disney D23, Mattel offered a Cozy Cone Alarm Clock Display … Yes, it’s a display, it’s odd that it is NOT an actual working alarm clock but it does have a lot of cute features. It’s not small – about 18″ tall. […]

Not really canon but looks like fun for kids – comes with 4 plastic CARS so you can keep your diecasts nice & pristine. 🙂   Available at Amazon.

Thanks for the great pics “John H.” It’s weird to see Todd all clean, he’s been beat up since Toy Story – 1995 (can you believe it?) and at that time, he was already a 17 year old pickup truck (presumed to be a Toyota HiLux pickup from 1978) …   Thanks, “John H.” for […]

Toys R Us is having another sale but your choice is pretty one choice … Ian W. notes they are still shipping both versions. And “Toomsterev” got his Amazon shipment obviously packed at 4:58 PM Friday night.

Thanks “King Andy” for the photos and heads up. The remainder Road Trip series … they took the long way … They are in Belgium (€20). These are clearly the US cards (no EU required language). Of course, looking in the background,”King Andy” has just a few CARS. 🙂 Will these show up eventually? Or […]

“Toomsterev” uncovered this a few weeks back – that there was an eBay auction of a “longer bed” Smokey which of course did not make a lot of sense – poor color or wrong rims is an easy error or even limited production error but a longer truck bed? It’s not like there are a […]

CARS diecasts currently ship in cases of 24 – there are occasional Expanded Universe limited releases that ship in cases of 12 but CASE V is an oddball one of 8. This was available early on – early production code plus the warning not to shelf before 5.1.2017. I presume this was a case for […]
