It’s hard to tell without looking at the contents of each box set to make the most efficient purchases without too many repeats – here are the box sets out so far: The Fireball Beach 4-Pack With 4 new releases. Luigi with Flag is new. While Guido with tires & tool chest is not really new, […]

Haulers – Cabs with trailers are a Walmart exclusive – the Wally Hauler returns as is in new packaging so the photo of him is not included here. Thanks, “John H.” for the nice photos. For variant collectors, it looks like there is a color variant on Bobby Swift, Octane Gain’s hauler.

The new 2-packs look nice – not too many repeats and you can skip a few singles by picking up the 2-pack though there are some diecasts exclusive to the 2-packs format.

There are 4 deluxe diecasts, RED looks to be a repeat but Mack has updated graphics – Miss Fritter and Tiny Lugsworth are new. Happy shopping!

While everyone is receiving CASE A singles, there are about 10 different endcaps, pallet dumps, sidecaps and counter displays so there are a few other diecasts available … Happy hunting! The re-releases of CARS 1 characters look to be the same but variants? We’ll find out soon.

Thanks “Michael VN,” for the fun last days day photos … I wonder what will go here. One is the loneliest number. Down to hours … The perfect way to celebrate May Day – raw, unfiltered Capitalism. And I shall call you squishy. Ready, set SHOP!

Howard sends along an interesting photo … The return of Mini in a 2-pack is now called Minny. Of course, under the Disney banner, there’s already a famous Minnie – but with an EI. So, her new name? Either a mistake or she’s (trademark) lawyered up … Can’t really trademark MINI as it’s taken by […]

Thanks, “John H.” for the great photos. Called CARS 3 Mack Hauler Nice update on the graphics! Play action is the same. Mack from all three CARS movies. Great graphics! Thanks, “John H.”

Jay Ward of Pixar offers interesting insight into the death of Doc Hudson … In an early draft of Cars 3, viewers would have seen a flashback to Doc’s death. Ward described it as “a really tender moment where McQueen’s driving and Doc’s following him and it’s like the day your mentor passes away.” Eventually, the filmmakers […]

Thanks “Samuel K.” for the nice photos … Hometown Radiator Springs 3-pack. Toys R Us exclusive. Jonas Revera looks like it might be the only “new” CAR in this 3-pack. Though if you are a variant collector, “Old School Ramone” is a flat windshield. Greta looks to be the same segmented face.
