If you were thinking of buying/leasing a Nissan Versa, do it through Amazon and you get a $1,000 gift card.* I hope it arrives in frustration-free packaging. 🙂 * Gift Card redeemable for 1 Apple Car.

The last of the 4 Toon Box Set “re-releases,” also has a unibody upgrade. So, while Daredevil Lightning McQueen (with Buck Teeth) along with Big Fan & Lug are all re-releases, they have never been released in a 3-pack before – so the packaging format is all new. In addition, Daredevil Lightning McQueen with Buck […]

The Probably Bad News for CARS/Toys Customers … “Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is cutting orders it places with suppliers this quarter and next to address rising inventory the company flagged in last month’s earnings report.” But also for a company that makes about $1.5 BILLION in revenue every single day of the year, they sometimes can’t […]
