That’s right – win one of the lowest production run CARS ever! Thanks to an anonymous T5 reader, they have generously donated a SDCC Mater SEALED as a free contest giveaway. Frankly, the quasi-official name of Comic Con 2012 Mater is pretty dull. We need a better name for this Mater. Contest starts right now […]

If you’re planning on buying the “upgraded” Target “Tokyo Race Day 7-Pack.” “Wraukn” notes that you have to LOOK VERY CAREFULLY! He found some where Darrell Cartrip AND Brent Mustangberger have NOT been upgraded and are still the 2-piece versions. SO LOOK CAREFULLY! (Yes, David Hobbscapp is still in this box so it’s not like […]

Surprise that is a not a surprise … the early Kmart CARS day #9 shipment turned out to be … um, wrong … It’s Kmart CARS Day #6 leftovers … AND they shorted “Eli D.” 4 CARS as he only got 20 CARS also. Oh so close! Death or glory! But hey, you gotta take […]

These have arrived in Europe … (thanks for the great photos, Matilde & David V.!) Miguel and Crew Chief, Petro Cartalina. Miles Axelrod and Cleanup Crew Pitty’s … And the very hard to find Uncle & Mama Topolino Movie Moment … There is a CASE A listing but there is no specific card listing other […]

Dolly P. was kind enough to send along an extra SILVER METALLIC mail away CAR from Germany/Austria (original post here) as a contest prize. Thanks, “Dolly.” The contest was answer what CAR you’d want for Kmart CARS Day #10 (#9 coming up will fill out the rest of the silver chrome metallic racers). I’d like […]

The Tokyo Race Day 7-pack contains the first release of David Hobbscapp, the British race announcer represented as a Jaguar E-Type. “John H.” (thanks!) sends along pics of him compared to Leland Turbo … Of course, the problem really starts with Finn. Even the larger/largest of the British CARS of the 1960’s were not very […]

Hey CARS! Ah, the restock, reset and re-configuration is finally here! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep. About 11 pegs down – 6 rows across times about 6 CARS per peg, that’s just about 1,000 Finn’s, Lightning, Mater’s and some Franceso’s. No need to order any more cases. Enough CARS to last the holiday season. There are only 4 […]

“John H.” was nice enough to send along photos of the 1:34 Pull Back Series … which numbered 6 for the longest time with Shu & Raoul only available overseas but now “John H.” says it’s available at Walmart. The 1:34 Pull Back Series Thanks John H!

Yes, it’s a puzzler … why are there CARS Take Flight CARS stickered ONLY AT WALMART at Target? (thanks for the pics, “R. Rull.” – thanks also to those who sent in earlier pics). How did these wind up at Target? It’s definitely not just oddball misplaced shipment as I believe the entire CASE D […]

If you love your variants and you know it, clap your hands … I think that’s how the song goes … Collecting CARS 1 variants was not that difficult, out of some 650 releases, there was probably only about 25 major variants and maybe another 15 minor variants – percentage wise, pretty low. You can […]
