Here’s the list of CARS 1 oversized Deluxe CARS coming back in 2013 … not too extensive of a list and the basic ones you’d pretty much expect to be back …

An elderly parishioner has stunned Spanish cultural officials with an alarming and unauthorised attempt to restore a prized Jesus Christ fresco. Ecce Homo (Behold the Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez has held pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza for more than 100 years. The woman took her brush to it […]

There is a replacement 1:55 scale series of pullbacks. Are they actually metal diecasts? They may not have bothered to photograph it and just subbed in a metal diecast KING photo? It’ll be interesting if it is metal. The list so far includes: The King (of course), Lightning (d’uh), Jeff Gorvette, & Shu Todoroki.

Good news – it looks the Radiator Springs Classic line is not some short supply-one shipment-one shot deal. Several Toys R Us stores have actually gotten a second shipment. I’m presuming there’s more Dexter Hoover with Yellow Flag in this shipment as most stores seem to have 3-4 on the pegs. This is much nicer […]

We do not get a lot of lemon car diecasts but it looks like Johnny Lightning has licensed one from Tomy … Great detailing. This was during the era where GM would issue one auto and then “spiff” it up with a lot of chrome bits for all the other divisions – This Citation was […]

Entertainment Earth has the Mattel 1:18 scale Chrome Batmobile: This incredible vehicle is a massive 1:18 scale, die-cast replica of the 1966 George Barris Batmobile of Batman fame. And now it’s presented in a limited edition chrome finish! The car features excellent detail, a sleek chrome finish, real rubber tires, and an engine hood and […]

The NEW CARS 2 CARS singles diecasts listed as coming October 2012 through 2013 are as follows: CHASE CARS Miles with Hood Up (or more precisely – Miles with Hood that opens). Guido’s Dance Partner … the new Fiat 500 … And one that reads “Barmaid.” It might be the airport one as “Pittys” only […]

Yea Canada knows what’s important … though not so much on guarding it … Sticky-fingered thieves made off with almost 30 million Canadian dollars (US$30.4 million) worth of maple syrup from a reserve warehouse in rural Quebec, the provincial body responsible for managing the production of maple syrup said late Thursday. That’s more than a […]

So, the CARS Take Flight original listing of Biplane is not Barney Stormin (who also makes a quick cameo) but Propwash Junction Biplane … Nice to get a new character … and almost as real as it gets … Okay, it’s not an exact match but close … maybe another cousin?

Singles CASE Y is shipping … it was dead but now it’s back … hey, that was last week – things change on a dime … So, Galloping Gear Grinder is back, baby … and a lot of Lightning McQueen’s … CASE Y is the altered twin case of CASE J which had the Russian […]
