Since the Disney Store has been adding a lot of Hot Rods singles, it looks like they are carrying the theme further … The CARS Deluxe Die Cast Hot Rod Set Thanks for the heads up, “ToyFountain.” Did this older Mater Hot Rod set always have that brown Mater Hot Rod? Or is this a […]

As “BMW” has chimed in and “Quercy” sends along a photo of the new 2014 cards … As you can tell, it’s essentially the 2013 cards – carrying over the same “themes” motif (changing out the background to a different speedway screenshot), and bringing back the World of CARS banner – so I guess we […]

“John H.” sends along a nice unofficial Kmart CARS Day Silver Metallic Francesco that was never officially released. The official one is on the right. He does look nicer with the red helmet to break up the contrast of just silver.   Though the final releases corrects the base plate which should be black. There’s […]

Photos below from Canada – thanks Buckland Blowouts! Lightning with Rust-eze Sign & Fred Doug Speedcheck & Palace Guard […]

Thanks, Rob (My 6 Kids) for the info on the case assortment. It’s as best as we can expect. A nice final deluxe case to close out the Themes 2013 “year” with everything shown on the poster released! A miracle! No idea on Muggsy Liftsome* – maybe 1 lucky person who mails in for the […]

Walmart.com has the Pit Crew launchers – 2013 version – which have not appeared at many retail stores. Remember, these come with ONE diecast (the racer). The Pitty is plastic and attached to the launcher. Walmart does not list the 4th one – Vitoline. These three, Lightning McQueen, Raoule Caroule and Leak Less (along with […]
