Coming to the UK, Silver Racer Series CARS card games … probably coming to the US? Though the names of the two games, “Mega Memo,” and “Happy Families” don’t mean much as names of card games here in the US – a UK thing?

As it’s nearing summer time and the opening salvo of the licensed movie selling season, one big question is what about peg space for PLANES & CARS? CARS as an ongoing line has an advantage that space is more or less reserved for it. CARS also has an advantage that it’s diecast vehicles – there’s […]

I’m a little surprised these are still available … the wrestling CARS all seem sold out … so, what’s the holdup? Not enough airings of the Toons? Priced too high?

Looks like the Radiator Springs Classic line is arriving in Australia & Europe … without the “Classic” part – presumably because while Radiator Springs is the trademark name of the town, they would have to badge “Classic” in every different language so easier just to drop it … Nick Stickers is the next and “last” […]

You can decide on which options you prefer. Choose between tires, mouth & eyes expression, rollbar and even if […]

“Quercy” asks about the CARS that we have seen backdoor releases of or was at one point listed to be released … For instance, What about “Chauncy Fares the London Taxi, Bernie Caliper, Dan Sclarkenberg and McQueen fan yellow truck?” (This McQueen Fan prototype now stands as the longest from showcase to actual release – […]

After 20 months, we still don’t really what is the correct M logo that Finn McMissile has on his hood & trunk. Because after a while, we just stopped looking at Finn so it’s hard to really tell when they began the switchout – if there was a plan, if it was simply poorly produced […]
