A few months ago, a listing for Flo’s V8 Cafe popped up for around $35 – it seemed likely it was the return of the fabled Flo’s V8 Cafe playset from 2006-2007, It looked good because it was listed near the CARS 1 diecasts coming (back) to Toys R Us later this year but without […]

Fab.com has a lot of fun stuff available this week …some very cool posters and t-shirts … Sign in or sign up here.

At first, it looks like another WM $1.97 CARS 2 clearance … But it seems to only apply to Finn, Francesco & Holley Shiftwell (Holley actually sells well and its unlikely there are many on the shelves to clearance out). Turns out that all the Mattel 1:55 diecasts are on sale at $1.97 even though […]

“Pixarlover” was at an automobile museum and spotted the real life Tatra 87 … Only 3,056 were produced from 1936–1950. You can read more at Wikipedia.

Without rehashing all the numbers covered in this early post … the bottom line is that Mattel never really reveals hard numbers* … But based on numbers from resellers, employees who work at the major retailer, T5ers and general consensus, it’s a pretty safe statement to say there are a lot fewer CARS sold and […]

“Dekoy” sends us his usual find from Walmart Canada. Don’t get too excited! Through the magic of a clear slipcover and a piece of clear Scotch tape, Mattel has created a new 3-pack … that do look familiar or is that awfully familiar? This may be breaking the magician’s code but Mattel has put 3 […]

Happy 4th of July! Salutin’ Sarge wears his USA stencil proudly … Original Sarge (2006) has the USA Stencil and the more white insignia. The return of Sarge in 2009 meant he got some slight color variations including a darker green but also yellow stripes. his mold is more detailed and the tires are slightly […]
