“Lane Change” spotted these at Target: It looks like they offered a coupon to help clear the shelves of the Porto Corsa Deluxe oversized CARS … while the coupon only says “CARS 2 Deluxe Die-Cast Vehicle” and the back of the coupon says it’s “valid only for the product indicated,” it seems likely the coupon […]

There is a new mystery Rip Clutchgoneski listing. Of course, there is the single version of Rip already released (and coming back in cases coming in 2013). It’s widely presumed the next Kmart CARS Day (#10) will include a silver metallic Rip Clutchgoneski (June, 2013). But interestingly enough, a second Rip Clutchgoneski has been added […]

For Europe and other international markets (including Canada), Micro Drifters will come in a “blind bag.” There was a list of what’s available in the MD International single series (in this post), it’s slightly longer than what’s shown on the box so it’s unknown if the box art of the open Micro Drifters are the […]

Don’t panic about Rip Clutchgoneski if you have not gotten one yet, he is NOT a CHASE CAR and more are scheduled in other cases down the line … But like the Tuners of CARS 1, he will probably always be a popular release so he probably won’t ever hang around long on the pegs […]

CARS 1 (and some Toons) re-releases are available everywhere under the “Themes 2013” design motif and under the Radiator Springs Classic motif only at Toys R Us. The CARS 1 Re-Releases Checklist has been updated. It adds the two latest TRU-only Radiator Springs Classic releases (Marilyn and Nick Stickers, Marilyn appears to be out – […]

In January 2013, there was a listing of 3 oversized deluxe CARS exclusive to Kmart … strangely, the listing is shortened to one – Ivan – coming in a box of 12, so I guess he’ll be like Pit Crew Mater, one of a kind exclusive … the UPC is 7-46775-24938-0 (no idea when and if […]

Recently, Disney Pixar unveiled some new CARS Toons – Tales From Radiator Springs – Hiccup, Spinning & Bugged. You can view the embed here in this post. Each short featured some “new” CARS – will we get them in a revised Toon series? We have gotten some re-releases at Walmart but nothing new has been […]

The perfect day to order some not yet released CARS from overseas … I told you not to buy a CAR built on the Friday afternoon shift … At least this “customizer” is only charging you a couple bucks … Well, it’s definitely not from Tomy, it’s definitely a Mattel Pitty … who knows, it […]

Yes, Super Chases are coming back and it looks like the whole Twin Case* thing is back so bottom line, if you want a Super Chase, you’ll have to buy an entire case or buy one from a re-seller. The first three Super Chases are the Japanese TV Show contestant/announcers … From left to right […]

Krate Rainson Wash is a fun diecast – great sculpt and all around fun release. But for some oddball reason – Target has coded him as an oversized “Deluxe” CAR – priced at $6.99 – maybe they got him confused with Muggsy Liftsome somehow? But in any case, he’s ringing up at $6.99 so if […]
