It looks like there might be one final Deluxe Case after Case G? While Case G was pretty good with 2 Dracula Mater and 2 Waiter Mater (out of 6). CASE P is a basic case for retail … One of everything so the shelf looks interesting enough. That’s Ivan Mater, not Ivan in case […]

Looks like CASE C of PLANES has arrived (for stores still stocking singles). Thanks for the heads up & photo “Snosno.” 86 LJH Special What the Disney Store called Navy Dusty, Mattel calls Jolly Wrenches Dusty Crophopper. There are 2 of each as the “NEW” PLANES released, the rest of the case is a re-release […]

TRU seems to have gotten a new case of Radiator Springs Classic but sales seems to have slowed down quite a bit. Was this a one-shot deal to see how sales might go? Will there be more next year? The 3-pack box sets seem to have sold okay but not not very rapidly. The 10-pack […]

Every once in a while, there’s a 2-pack/Movie Moment Case where it might be easier just to buy the case. CASE E The weakest “2-pack” in this case is probably Lightning with Rust-eze Sign & Fred though some collectors might not have seen Fred in a while and of course, the sign is new. Doug […]

Chapman started “Bob the Builder,” which I have heard of and watched – […]

“John H.” sends along great pics of the Walmart Tokyo Mater Box Set which contains two variants, one of which is actually a brand new release. It was easy to lose track of all the variants and versions of Tokyo Mater especially since this version was shown off many times but after all was said […]

There are 4 diecasts available to purchase at my Target … this Francesco & Sarge escaped the clutches of the CARS aisle (with PLANES in the small kids aisle) but alas, only made it as far as the Hot Wheels/”boys” aisle a few aisles over … No, I will not buy you those, put them […]

Okay, here’s what we do know. In 2011 and 2012, there were a series of CARS racers released in metallic paint – all as exclusives in some manner. For Kmart CARS Day #8 and #9, 10 of the 11 Piston Cup Racers were released as Silver Metallic diecast CARS (except for Rip Clutchgoneski). At TRU, […]
