The Star Wars Celebration Weekends are May 15 to June 16 this year at Disney World’s Hollywood Studios. Last year, of course, they introduced the CAR WARS CARS … they are continuing this year with a box set of the tractors as Sandtroopers. These are $19.95. Thanks for the heads up, “NascarBronco.” The one on […]

Lubewig is one of the most detailed and fun sculpts – certainly of  the 2014 Themes releases: What’s nicer is he’s not a one-time release CHASE so he’ll be around … Nice brand new and fun sculpt. He is fellow rust-eze CAR or perhaps, what’s French for rusty CAR? Thanks for the great open photos, […]

Through March, we have now had 4 cases of singles released, a couple deluxe oversize cases and at least in Europe, a Movie Moment case. We’ve also had Haulers, Toons and lots of PLANES but the retail situation is still feast … Or famine. First, there are forces beyond the apparent control of Mattel – […]

Several oddities – 2014 started with the continuation of the case code lettering of 2013 but with the new card designation DISNEY WORLD OF CARS. But now, after running through the rest of the alphabet – CASE A seems to have arrived at retail … and it’s back to the more correct “Disney • Pixar […]

A few days ago, a mysterious but nice looking Mack paper box bundle of 11-CARS showed up. Now, there is a nice looking Chug version with 11-PLANES simply called Planes Diecast Vehicle Collection Bundle. (well, technically, they call it “Vechicle” but I’m presuming it’s a typo and not some crazy trademark spelling thang). Very nice […]

There was some confusion about the 4 different kind’s of Van available … the simplest is just to take a snapshot of a page from our Complete Open Checklist 2006 to 2011 issue. Van – first released in the World of CARS series (2008) wearing a snarky expression. Van returned as a “Night Skyline” lenticular […]

It looks the names of the Yacht Race Fans (2-pack) are: Carin & Kimberly Rims

Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Emmanuel the Paris Tour Bus has arrived … Sculpt-wise, he looks great but it’s the age old toy vehicle battle – scale or diecast metal … it’s hard to have both unless of course, you can list it at $20 to $100 … Next to the closer scale […]

Thanks for the nice pics, “John H.” While we have had several Range Rover releases, Mike Lorengine is a little undersized … I think Josh Coolant is scaled to fit in the Mattel series of CARS characters. Josh Coolant definitely seems undersized for the 1:43 Disney store series (where this one came from). Josh Coolant […]

My Target has not gotten these in yet but “Quercy’s” store has them … Without giving away the entire story, there are some surprise racer appearances … Interesting, does this mean there will be a Neon Frosty exclusive in Australia this Autumn again? Nothing listed as of yet but why not? It’s an easy repaint/deco […]
