The exterior box is covered here. And now UNBOXED! The CARS sit on a inner tray. The outer tray (“Dinoco Hanger”) is easy to remove, it’s taped on the side and top, a quick slice and it opens up and the Convoy Brothers tray comes up & out. The clear plastic enclosure is taped/inserted into […]

Look who Monica spotted at SDCC! Quick, name ALL the characters he voiced in CARS that have been released as diecasts! Thanks for photo Monica/Matersgrlfriend!  

Next week, Jimmie Johnson will drive a Disney Toon PLANES Lowe’s Build and Grow car at the Pocono Race … Of course, you can pre-order the diecast version in 1:64 or 1:24 scale versions. The Monsters University one from a few weeks ago is pretty cool also. The Lowe’s Build and Grow free projects are […]

Mattel also has “deluxe” versions coming – only three announced … Turbo Dusty, Bravo & El Chupacabra … These all have mini batteries so it seems clear they will have sounds – unlike CARS, there’s no headlights on planes so maybe they will skip the ‘lights’ portion? (They will probably not bother to add mini […]

After the initial hurrah from the Disney Store, there hasn’t been anything new diecast-wise for PLANES until now. Of course, Zed pretty much looks like Ned (his twin presumably) except their color schemes are reversed. “John H.” who sends along these photos also notes … “A couple of quality issues. Our Zed’s propeller is fairly […]

First step of the D23 Expo Convoy Brothers is to admire the exterior box – awesome. Today, it’s time to snap a few more photos close up. Well, not quite take the plastic lid off just yet … you must approach by stealth. Yea, if you’re going to quibble on the .01%, it would’ve been […]

If you’re wondering what happened to Agent Carter from Captain America? The action-noir story picks up with British operative Peggy Carter just a year after Captain America: The First Avenger left off, with Hayley Atwell’s character now working in New York for the watchdog group that will eventually become S.H.I.E.L.D. She gets her own short […]

It’s official official – Convoy Brothers are coming to the D23 Expo – $100 – a nice round number. The official press release. The D23 Expo starts August 9, 2013 at 9 AM. You can begin to lineup NO EARLIER than 5 AM. That is what Disney & Anaheim have decided. If you have a […]

The Disney Store 1:43 Rip Clutchgoneski is back in stock … And if you want to see where you stand in your Disney Store collection, the great “Unixed” Visual Checklist is here. Or if you want the Mattel single version with the entire case, it’s in CASE H with the CHASE, Francesca or its twin […]

If you’re in a league or starting one, I recommend the CBS Sportsline one – we’ve been using it for about 10 years straight and it’s pretty flexible depending on what your needs are. The draft setup is great – people from around the country can log in and when players are taken off the […]
