None in the TRU’s around me but the previously released Haulers have been chopped up and released as Cab’s only … Thanks “Fabian S.” and “Damian V.” for the nice photos and info heads up. And yep, the screenshots on the card taunt you with trailers not available. Chet Boxkaar Ben Crankleshaft Gil Paul Valdez […]

Howard sends along an interesting photo … The return of Mini in a 2-pack is now called Minny. Of course, under the Disney banner, there’s already a famous Minnie – but with an EI. So, her new name? Either a mistake or she’s (trademark) lawyered up … Can’t really trademark MINI as it’s taken by […]

Thanks “Samuel K.” for the nice photos … Hometown Radiator Springs 3-pack. Toys R Us exclusive. Jonas Revera looks like it might be the only “new” CAR in this 3-pack. Though if you are a variant collector, “Old School Ramone” is a flat windshield. Greta looks to be the same segmented face.

Radiator Springs Grand Prix 5-Pack … the first of the last? The Radiator Springs Classic lines continues with a new Grand Prix 5-Pack … the Radiator Team Lightning McQueen sports a new expression. The “exclusive vehicle” seems to be an Erik Lanely “repaint” without the World Grand Prix decals – we don’t know his name yet as there […]

Thanks “John V,” Target is getting ready for CARS 3 … see ya my old friend … slapped with a sticker across the face …

Of course, in the calendar year it’s 2017 but for CARS collectors, it’s really 2016½. You can check out the last CARS 1 & CARS 2 releases. And if you want the “Spring 2017” poster, you probably want to grab it HERE. By next week, the CARS 3 diecasts will be out so this website […]

Thanks “John H.” for the great photos as we wrap up 2016 & 2016½. A surprise appearance of the 3rd DIFFERENT Mater with a Bomb from CARS 2. This one is called Fighting Face Mater. The rest of Mater looks essentially the same. Mater with a bomb was first released as YOU DA BOMB (center), […]

Thanks “John H.” for the great photos as we wrap up 2016 & 2016½. A surprise appearance – the Transberry Juice Cab. Of course, I think we’d all prefer the entire setup with the trailer. Still no trailer hole with the cab-only releases, weird but I guess they don’t us to think that we can […]

Thanks “John H.” for the great photos as we wrap up 2016 & 2016½. Alexis Wheelson. Elaborate. It’s too bad the pieces don’t move nor are they removable – which makes sense – you know those crazy diecast collectors, always snapping off pieces and putting it in their mouths … there’s always 5,217 in every […]

Sad pegs … hopefully in 10 days, it’ll be a deluge and filled like a California reservoir …
