Hopefully your Walmart shelf won’t look like this for much longer … the CARS reset (along with other diecasts) is coming after Valentine’s Day … maybe that is when CASE C will arrive? Thanks for the heads up, “JD!” And at Target, now that these are reasonably priced at $3.58 – there are no actual […]

In addition to the metallic silver series arriving on the new “Themes 2013” card designs … “Dolly P.” sends us additional photos of TRU in Germany-Austria that have the Australian cards (presumably) that are NOT supposed to go to Europe. First, in Europe, they are not supposed to get the Australian cards as they are […]

Thanks for the headsup “ToyFountain.” The Disney Store has a new CHASE CAR and Fabrizio is online now. The CHASE version of Hot Rod Mater looks super nice – especially the rims. It goes nicely with this Lightning Mcqueen. And apparently Fabrizio is based on a real car – and not just a lambo look […]

“Dolly P.” sends along photos of the Metallic Silver WGP racers in Europe. Of course, in the US, we had called them Kmart CARS Day Metallic Silver CARS … These arrived in the US last June so we still got the Porto Corsa motif design, these have been updated to the new “Themes 2013” design. […]

“bubba101212” sends along nice snaps of the latest Disney Store diecast CHASE – Fabrizio! Very sharp looking paint job. Not online yet but other singles are on sale. Thanks for the great pics Bubba101212.

It doesn’t happen very often but Disney is actually offering a D23 membership sale. It’s ongoing so you don’t have to make a decision right away but definitely something to take care of if you’re going to the Expo. In addition to the fun items above, the big benefit is you a discount on tickets […]

While he’s spiffed up nice – with a sharp looking mustache grill and premium new paint scheme, he’s really not very oversized nor deluxe (other than his extra cost) – more like demi or semi deluxe. Again, nothing really wrong with the sculpt, design or production – just that he’s the same plain ole sized […]

There was some question whether the Frank in the Disney Store CARS Frank-Tractor Tipping Set was different than the Frank box release from a year’s ago … while I did not buy the newest set, TopherDawg sent along great pics from upside down and all around and it looks pretty much the exact same … About […]

There’s an interesting article in this month’s “Licensing” magazine … And “ToyNews” adds … “Disney is to launch a new special edition range of cross-category Silver Series products from its popular Cars film and franchise. The new range will have its own backstory, which will be revealed in a special Silver Series edition magazine, and […]

Toons are definitely returning … Only problem is so far, they are coming back only in 3-packs and as a Walmart exclusive. We also don’t know what’s in the 3-packs. There are 4 3-packs listed (no breakdown of contents) … in a perfect world, they would be 3-packs for the missing shorts: El Materdor Private […]
