Yes, it’s a 5 month old case but if you’ve been holding out or you want to restock, Kmart.com has a 15% off coupon for the next 48 hours. I have no idea how many cases are left but good luck! The 24-Pack of CARS is $95.76 so you will need to buy another $5 […]

While the Themes 2013 US singles cases near the case codes Y0471-999 with the letter of the case assortment at the end (in this case Y0471-999C), Europe singles are W1938-997 – (or in this case W1938-997Q) … generally the letter codes are close but I guess not anymore. NiftyNigel reports that Europe has gotten the US […]

Miles Axelrod was also upgraded to a one-piece unibody last Autumn along with another production change – his top & window “solar panels” have been changed to a blue from light gray … but Miles variant release was essentially bungled for four reasons: He was only shipped in the Q case which appeared only sporadically […]

Rarely do customizers hide the fact they are […]

While we might quibble about the distribution and some glaring sculpt/design FAILS for CARS 2 diecasts, there is hardly anything to complain about the LEMONS of CARS 2. They are works of art for the real life autos that are/were anything but. These are all great photos from “John H,” who not only takes great […]

While the cardbacks covers most of the scheduled releases (as singles and Movie Moments 2-packs), there are 4 more singles added to the official list … The “Japan TV Show CARS” Plus the third one … They are definitely on a singles list and not a box or multi-pack … hopefully, they’ll realize they are […]

Now, normally, it would not be a big deal – that these arrived at Walmart about 7-10 days and now are available at Target. But it’s been a while since a particular CASE (whether singles or 2-packs) of CARS has arrived at BOTH the Big two retailers at about the same time. Even CASES of […]

T5er E.Davies1 has some sad news to pass along and hopes that you might be able to help … (Eli Davies’ words in italics). “Long story short… My son has Batten Disease. He was a normal, above average kid through age 2.5, then seizures started. After a year of testing they finally found the bad […]
