Ruka has arrived early. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” One of the last CHASE CARS of 2013 – also in CASE Q along with Ichigo. Nice detailing on such a tiny CAR. She was supposed to the last CHASE CAR of the year in the Kmart Case – one of their “early to […]

It seems so simple … I has a few more questions. When you say 1/17, do you mean there are 17 CARS in this series as I only see this one and Francesco. I tend to only shop at Walmart, Target and Toys R Us but I do not find a lot of CARS on […]

“John H.” sends along nice photos of the new Luigi & Guido with Glasses … Guido is all new with “twisting forks” and of course, the three glasses accessory. And it’s immediately obvious that Luigi is different also – they have added the black “mold” line around his windshield/eyes. This line was added to all […]

NOW, the last of the Micro Drifters 3-packs have arrived! Including the last of the Micro Drifters shown off at the launch party last September – Flo. And perhaps good news for Micro Drifter collectors, Funny Car Mater was not shown off last year at launch and not listed anywhere so maybe they are starting […]

Arriving in revised CASE Q – Ichigo. They should have added strawberry scratch & sniff. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” From the family of “Suki Cute.” Repaints we do not mind – bring on as many as possible – we’ll collect ’em all but as a CHASE, we won’t see Ichigo again exactly […]

“Wraukn” sends along a lab pic of the upcoming Deluxe release for 2014 … He comes with both oil cans & a headset … I had to double check. It’s actually correct. Mack is the only Pit Crew Member that has both a headset & oil cans during the Pit Row scenes from CARS 1. […]

So, while we are on the cusp of wrapping up “Themes 2013” as a design motif – certainly as singles, and multi-packs, everything that is on the poster is out, however, there are still a few releases off the poster looming that we don’t know for certain. October, 2013 – the next announced Kmart CARS […]

With the arrival of Ichigo (thanks for the great photo, “John H.”) … … All 115* Diecast CARS of the “Themes 2013” series are out! That fact by itself is a miracle. Our brethren Hot Wheels collectors might sock you or the wall if you utter the phrase, “You mean Mattel didn’t release the entire […]

When the Q was first announced, it had all the looks of a weak franken case and a few were shipped out with this assortment. Other than the new Luigi & Guido with Glasses, everything else was with CARS already available elsewhere or soon to be available plus a lot of CARS that seem to […]

The last of the 4 Toon Box Set “re-releases,” also has a unibody upgrade. So, while Daredevil Lightning McQueen (with Buck Teeth) along with Big Fan & Lug are all re-releases, they have never been released in a 3-pack before – so the packaging format is all new. In addition, Daredevil Lightning McQueen with Buck […]
