It looks like Kmart has all CARS products and some PLANES products on sale through Monday July 8th. Remember the Ivan promotion runs until August 8th. It doesn’t just have to be diecast – anything from Mattel (includes Fisher Price? Owned by Mattel) also counts. Oversized deluxe are on sale until Oversize until 7/20 (for […]

I’m not sure if these have hit the store shelves but Amazon has them in … BTW, it holds 40 MD’s not 4 (it’s not keychain sized). But you really need to read the reviews – one makes it sound like it was designed like an idiot and the other review makes it sound like […]

Well, it seemed real straightforward and simple. For every $20 worth of Mattel Disney CARS, get a free Ivan! For “BMW,” it was pretty straightforward. Mattel packed it nicely in a box – not just shoving it into a padded envelope AND on card – nice! The Kmart snipe is a sticker – easy to […]

The downside is you actually have to make these but instead of using your metal diecasts to drop on top of a cake, they actually have (food safe) plastic CARS! Of course, this one is the best – the Frank Tractor Tipping Cake Topper! And it’s not just some plastic CARS, the Tractor actually goes […]

This post earlier this week on CASE H has been revised/corrected/updated … The difference is not huge but noteworthy. VERN did not make it but Donna Pitts was re-re-released in CASE H. (Thanks for the heads up, Fillmore1234) Also, there are 2 instead of 3 Cruisin’ McQueen’s and ONE “additional” Grem with Weapon. The rest […]

First, the “normal” portion of this informational post … CASE H … coming next – a shipping date of early July.* UPDATE – REVISION/UPDATE post HERE. Case H is a nice solid case with a CHASE CAR, Guido’s dance partner, Fransceca. Plus “NEW” Victor Paveone (Yellow Jag in Stands) and Snot Rod with Flames (well, […]

Up until now, the redemption listing for the “free” Ivan has read that they will go out after June 30, 2013 … MackDaddy – an early bird already received his email a few days ago … Thank you for your recent order. The following items have shipped and are expected to arrive within 10-14 business […]

In the real world – early autos converted to run on track tracks were called the Galloping Geese … “The Galloping Geese were built by the Rio Grande Southern shops in Ridgway, with very little means and a lot of ingenuity, from whatever material was available, spare car parts and other used parts. There are […]

“John H.” sends along great photos of his open set. The newest Mater Tall Tales Toons Box Sets are only available at the Disney Theme Parks … The nice thing about this set is they are NOT sepia colored – nice to see all the colors on Stanley. The back … Wedding Day Lizzie is […]

Well, if you missed him as a DVD Box Set exclusive or as a Kmart exclusive, the John Lassetire is coming back (with Jeff Gorvette in a regular retail 2-pack release). For the geeks, some things to note …First John Lassetire is NOT on the poster either as a single or as a 2-pack.They are […]
