Yep, it’s here, neatly 70 PAGES of diecasts from A to Z (or for everyone outside the US, A to Zed)! It’s all here, every release including ALL the major variants are shown or listed separately … the count – about 1,865 which includes PLANES (which are counted but NOT in this checklist as it’s […]

From the Radiator Springs Classic line from the defunct Toys R Us, you can still grab the pretty cool Scott Tiller, the tiller from CARS 3. $12.99 is not a bad deal with free PRIME SHIPPING.

Thanks “Mark T.” for the nice photo and heads up – Frank 2020 is YET another variant so now we have a fleet of Combine Threshers … We now have a clean sweep … Frank 2020 (Clean). Yes, it’s 2020 in CARS World. You do live in CARS World, don’t you? Not a speck of […]
