Thanks, “Mark T.” for the nice pics. Tim Treadless, Next Gen Nitroade – first release from Thailand. He doesn’t look too different from his China version. The metallic version is still only available in the 11-pack.

Thanks for the heads up, “Carl P.” It turns that from the first announced Mater with Cone Teeth way back when … We got the Cone on his Head also …   Which is correct from the screenshot…

Very cool, first released in 1960, I think … I had the tow truck but not this playset, I feel so deprived!  🙂

Thanks “Mark T.” for the heads up and great pics … I think. Well, the pics are great, not sure this info won’t start a riot but okay. It was all so simple before it changed … first we had segmented face variants … then some CARS lost their raised metal eyelids … then we […]

Thanks “Mark T.” for the nice photos. Dale Rodfolo Gask-its Semi Cab     The Gask-its logo matches the CARS 1 Sage VanDerSpin … Versus the darker yellow of CARS 3 Rex Revler so I’m going to say Dale is CARS 1.

Thanks “Mark T.” for the nice photos … The 2020 Nigel Gearsley  (right) has not only the eyelid line but slightly different eye position. The windows are gray instead of black. Flames are slightly different but that’s pretty normal for an added piece of plastic, color variants is pretty normal.

Well, provided there’s still a tourist season this summer … Studio Tram Tour at Disneyland Paris will be reimagined as Cars Route 66 … Only a logo sign so far …

The new diecast singles case C (DXV29-946C) is a nice case. The first appearance of Next Gen Easy Idle, harvey Rodcap. There’s also a NEW SILVER Chick Hicks and a NEW SILVER Jackson Storm but not really marked in anyway other than the Silver Snipe banner on the left so look carefully! Don’t just look […]

Guess they were not so great in the real world? Never actually got to drive one and I think they were all broke down by 1978? I’m not sure I’ve even seen one actually out in the wild … anyone with experience with one?  

Thanks “Mark T.” for the nice photos. From CARS 2, Francesco Bernoulli’s Crew Chief & Pitty get the eyelid line upgrade. Giuseppe Motorosi is also a slightly different (darker) red and now a UNIBODY. Alex Machino with the eyelid line. Collect ’em all!
