The Cozy Cone Alarm Display post is HERE. Thanks for the great pics and detailed info, “John H.” Briefly push the button on the base, the car pops out three times honking its horn and flashing its lights. The two dials light up very bright white, the “clock” spins around, the radio goes to multiple […]

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. […]

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 for the heads up, “John H.” He started the ball rolling by sending me a few pics so I took a closer look. It looks like a safe bet that most of the early production ones – in CASE A, B, and maybe Target F were with a smaller Mattel logo (Rust-eze racing Lightning […]

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 […]
