Thanks for the heads up & photos, “Jacob H.” This is the year of the packaging … The flat windshield (except for King & Chick Hicks) are re-packed in a display 11-pack. These have all been released as singles the past few years. This is the first time these have been released in a tray […]

Thanks for the heads up, “John H.” This new Flag Finish Lightning McQueen looks like fun for smaller tykes. Get champion competitive action and three ways to play: Drag & Drift, Race Laps, and Victory Dance 80+ authentic Lightning McQueen phrases and sounds You wave the flag to control the racing action

Thanks “John H.” for the nice pics … One of the nicest diecasts of 2016 – Jerome Ramped Not a lemon, lemoney! It’s a gas! AND the welder visor lifts up – Too nice! John also notes … New sculpt UNIBODY. Different tank in the basket. Similar to Gremlin that came out this year. That’s […]

Thanks “John H.” for the nice photos. One of the thankfully few Super Chases of 2016. Mater with Duct Tape. Pretty much revised flat windshield Mater with two gray pieces of tampo decals (not real Duct Tape). So, no you cannot use the tape in a household repair emergency – just in case you were wondering. […]

What’s German for ‘better late than never?’ Thanks, “Robert G.” for the heads up from Germany. Most of the names are in English, and fun to see the German names of some of the townies & tuners. Or “Transforming” in German. There’s a quasi-higher res version HERE (thanks, Carromata95). It’s not an official upload. Maybe […]

Here’s a handy chart of the 2nd Quarter releases and major re-releases. Of course, in a year of spotty releases, it’s hard to find ’em all … a phrase everyone knows. 🙂 YELLOW indicates CARS 1 releases. GREEN indicates CARS 2 release. The last two rows are re-releases – the Piston Cup racers are flat […]

Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” The detailed pics of the other 4 CARS in the Radiator Springs Cleanup box set was published yesterday. Today, the “new” Paint Job Ramone which is an amalgamation of Artist Ramone and revised Ramone. Compared to “Green” Ramone. Slightly different paint scheme. Compared to Artist Ramone, the gun […]

Thanks, “John H.” for the great photos. There’s a surprise new TRU Radiator Springs Cleanup 5-Pack. With the big nice surprise, the very hard to find lenticular classic-eye replacement Luigi with Bucket and Guido with Paint Rollers! Tar Lightning McQueen is pretty much the same as last year’s re-release with the flat windshield. Sally also has the […]

Amazon has a nice new CARS Banner … Though nothing too new or at non-3rd party prices but happy shopping.

Thanks “John H.” for the great photos. Mater with Trailer. Segmented Face Mater? John H. notes – “Better built quality than Lightning. I don’t think Pixar did these designs and therefore I don’t think we’ll see a movie short. The trailer is decorated with “license plates” on the sides, except that they are four times […]
