While there are surprises, I did not realize there was a multiple way to pronounce ‘crayons’ … I think we can guess which part of the country uses the phrase, y’all … I wonder about people on the boundary lines … 🙂 This one is a weird one … You can check out them all […]

3 Days Late, $3 Short … Okay, not really catchy … and okay, more like 8 days late … “Snosno” had found the TRU pallet – but too late for the $1 sale … But if you need Micro Drifters and CASE E & F singles, here ya go! Thanks Snosno for the pics!

From The Hollywood Reporter. The five-year renovation to the Disneyland-adjacent theme park, with attractions like the $200 million Radiator Springs Racers (the most expensive ride in history), helped boost attendance by 22.6 percent in 2012 to 7.8 million visitors — enough to make it the 11th most-attended theme park in the world. (The park drew […]

“Unixed” has thoughtfully updated the Disney Store diecast CARS Visual Checklist … Part 1 of the Disney Store Visual Checklist contains ALL of the Disney Store Acrylic Box Singles releases from 2009 to 2012 which we will call Series 2 & Series 3. Disney Store CARS, Series 4 – First the re-releases, they can be […]

The first 4 announced cases for PLANES (12 to a case) certainly seems odd – why the strange lettering pattern – jumping from A to L, M & N. CASE A is easy – it is available to all authorized resellers (ChildrensToyCloset either just got the case or it’s on it way from the warehouse). […]

Dusty (the cropduster) top left – he is the regular version with crop dusting “nozzles” underneath Racing Dusty – top right – he loses the dust cropping […]

Of course, a PLANES Retail Embargo doesn’t make all that much sense as Disney Studios has pretty much released screenshots of every character – though it is helpful to the Disney Stores as the only place to buy PLANES product until June 28, 2013. 🙂 But of course, some retailers treat the embargo as a […]

While we’ve had some planes or flight capable characters “CARS” previously – some were hard to define if they were accurate if they were the right scale since they were in the air (Rescue Squad Chopper) with nothing to really compare it to … or simply a “generic” flying craft that could be the correct […]

Zulily has a new Disney Pixar CARS sale … no diecasts but some playsets including the Space Shuttle – lots of cool books and some fun t-shirts … I would totally wear this to a sales meeting … (well, if it wasn’t T4 … 🙁  ). The salt & pepper Sally & LM look pretty […]

What, did you want to buy new CARS singles in the last 3 months? Maybe Mattel was hoping you’d want to buy some Hydro CARS, some Micro Drifters, some play sets or some silver launchers … but damn it if you did not wait them out and bought not much of the flanker CARS lines […]
