It’s definitely MEGA … The Mega Deluxe World of Racing Die Cast Set. @$119 – you get 22 Disney Store 1:43 scale CARS. I’m pretty sure this is the first box set with THREE Lightning McQueen’s in it … the CARS 2 WGP racers are all chromed up. Apparently this is the year of the […]

The Micro Drifters in the US will mostly be released as 3-packs at @$6-7 retail but I guess that translates into 10-11€ or about $13-14 USD in Europe, clearly too big of a bite for such a tiny car so in Europe, Micro Drifters will get the single treatment – maybe in some blind bag […]

“Tiki Mon” was in France recently, at the Disney Store on the Champs-Élysées to be precise and he sends along some fun pics so YOU ARE THERE! The Disney Store 1:43 CARS are not available in the acrylic display case but rather as 2-packs … Some good 2-pack choices … Those 2-packs are 12€, or […]

It won’t cost you very much – you can get full cases of Finn McMissile, well about 16,800 cases are all that’s left.* What a deal – only $23.52 a case and if you want more, I’m sure they’ll work out a deal … BTW, when a consolidator-liquidator sells something for $.98, you can be […]

Of course, from the straight line diecut card […]

“Snutes” reminds us and sends along nice photos of the first release of Lewis Hamilton, the variant eyes from the launcher … (launcher variant on left). The main version (on the right) comes with no teeth gap version and teeth gap version. Also notice the windshield area – designed for a lenticular … And the […]

Time to update the checklist. 🙂 Thanks for the nice photos, “Grinnin’ Cheshire!” It looks vaguely familiar … Yea, it’s CARS 1 Lightning McQueen … sporting the “extra” Piston Cup racer sticker as in the start of CARS 2 – called Nitro Lightning McQueen (well, by the Disney Store) collect them all! The second one […]

Way back in 2006 and 2007, the Disney Store introduced mini RC’s with a town playset that was quasi in scale (the leftover sets were available until about 2010). But now they are back … Luigi’s Della Casa Tires The Mini RC’s are actually quite nice – pretty responsive controls and fun for little tykes […]

Well, it sounds like the day went very smoothly or not at all – SURPRISE! I guess the chrome CARS must be doing well on the secondary market, hence the multi-case buying at the stores … since the distribution is so uneven plus some states or regions do not have Kmart, it looks like the […]
