While the “Crank Launcher” CARS look like metal diecast, they are definitely plastic. The sets won’t work with the 1:55 metal diecast CARS as they require some sort of hook and latch so the “crank” energy can be transferred. This is scheduled to come out in the US but not yet out … called slightly […]

There is NO June Kmart CARS Event Days coming this June. BMW got this note from Kmart’s head CARS honcho … “… We will not be running a single one day event in June. Instead we will be running a month long sale on cars products and  we will have new oversized mix in June […]

Nice deal on the 24-disc set of Looney Tunes cartoons. What more needs to be said. It’s not every cartoon short WB ever made but then the later years, the quality trends downward … but for the ones included (about 360 shorts), every single cartoon in this collection is unedited and uncensored! In the reviews, […]

It looks most of the playsets for the Toons (2009-2010) are going to be re-released this Christmas. The CARS included in the playsets are all plastic and while we’ve had a few limited re-releases at Walmart, does this mean more singles & deluxe diecast releases?

LEGO Mini Figure series 10 … (LEGO Minifigure FaceBook page). With Gold Man CHASE! Someone must’ve asked for it, right? Psst, if it’s made of real gold, buy the blind bag package that weighs 50 lbs. 🙂 You can also buy thought bubbles for your LEGO dudes (and dudettes now).

There is only one requirement – the winner has to actually open the track and micro drifters, test it out and write us a review! Contest starts right now and ends […]

Despicable Me2 is coming this summer and the Minions are taking over! They are pretty darn cute and hilarious … though these new batch of toys seem pretty spendy … it’s cheaper to collect diecasts (unless it’s a 4-pack)  but I guess that’s the price of progress and plastic … Nice job on the packaging […]

The Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS website has been updated for 2013 (is it January already?)   😛 And the poster is available to download HERE.

Only about 230 Christmas shopping days left! (Well, about 260 to Christmas Day). Here’s what’s coming to Costco & BJ’s Wholesale Club this holiday season. Costco will get the Big Personality Lightning McQueen for the younger kids. He has lights and sounds and is probably a “smart” toy when he speaks (“hey, where’d you go?” etc […]
