From a few years back, all the Radiator Springs Classic Story Sets combined into one giant set. Everything for about $47. Radiator Springs Classic Story Sets World Mostly not canon but fun for kids. The included CARS are plastic … but 1:55 scale. I’m not sure if they come in separate retail boxes or they come […]

From a company called Peachtree Playthings – cute.

While it’s not news about the 1:55 diecasts, there are a slew of new Mini Racer listings so it looks like the release plan is still “regular,” at least the announced portion … It looks the “blind bags” for the Mini Racer singles have been dropped and they will be carded (looks like all re-releases […]

Thanks for the heads up and photos, “Celso of Miami.” At least a new Deluxe case is arriving around the country. Correct sized Roscoe. Better 9 years late than not all – Sarge with Cannon (His name in Spanish is fun to say). 4-miles per gallon so not aerodynamic flying square brick with roof appendages […]

Thanks for the heads up and great photos, “Dale W.” The new re-release of Charlie Checker is technically a variant but personally, I will not count it as a variant. Basically, it’s a slightly different shade of yellow tail-light … doesn’t really pass the 4-foot rule (can you see it from 4 feet away?) It’s […]

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti has taken an interesting series of photos of kids around the world and their toys … you can check them out at his website HERE.
