“Nico A.” found the latest 4 Deluxe in Europe … 64€ or about $72 USD … at least it arrived but OUCH! Thanks, “Nico A!” Good luck with collecting in Europe!

Oh oh, looks like my Ikea shelves are not cutting it anymore. “Robbie G.” sends along photos of his collection museum. I’ve seen shabbier museums that charge admission … If you’re just starting your collection, now you know what you have to check off … My name is Speed³³³³³³ I definitely do not have a […]

“GetMeCollectibles” is taking pre-order and orders for the Precision Series playsets and plussed diecasts. Precision Series Flo’s V8 Cafe. $104 shipped. Precision Series Flo’s V8 Cafe includes a light-up Flo. Precision Series Fillmore’s Organic Fuel tent – $62 shipped. (PRE-ORDER – coming in November). Fillmore’s Organic Fuel tent probably does not include a Fillmore diecast. The […]

“Wesley M” sends along pics of what’s on the shelf in France. The PLANES 4-packs in slightly different boxes. Have we gotten that Ice Racing Turbo Mack? Did this Red get released in the US? Or was this early CARS 2 that it’s been so long? I vaguely recall-maybe have seen this? Thanks for the […]

If you’re fast enough, it is possible to find the Circus Cab Super Chase as stores seem to be getting a couple or more cases of the Deluxe so your chances are 1/6 for each case as there are only 6 diecasts in a deluxe case. Thanks for the nice pics, “Michael VN.” The singles […]

For variant collectors, one of the most obscure release was this oddball 2-piece Lightning McQueen included with the Lightning Fast Speedway trackset. While they had started to release other versions of Lightning McQueen with a segmented front face such as Lightning McQueen with (the front) Shovel – original Lightning McQueen during the CARS 1 era (2006 […]

Thanks. “John H.” for the great pics … The last Super Chase singles of 2015/2016. The Circus GT & Forklift – 2 in one pack. Of course, we now know they have real names, “Honkers” and “BeepBeep.” (guess MeepMeep is a registered trademark™ of Warner Bros). Meep Meep. (I’ll live dangerously). If we die his […]

If you’re still looking for Super Chase cases, Children’s Toy Closet has them in stock. Deluxe CASE W with Circus Cab (he has no other revealed name). And singles case, CASE D with the last singles Super Chase, Circus GT & Circus Forklift (in a single 2-pack). Their real names are much more fun, “Honkers,” […]

Children’s Toy Closet sent along an official photo from Mattel – it’s Bud RV! Is he actually coming? Next deluxe cases do not list him but will they squeeze him in another case? Or perhaps a box set or two coming this Christmas. Photos supplied by Mattel are generally accurate to something coming soon but […]

If you can’t wait for the release, you can make your own – if you have the skills like “Mack Me Bucko.” It’s not a party everyday when you remove the hat. Alex Hugo. Moderfied Mater. Pretty darn cute. From the short. Once listed as coming. Big Al (the real Big Al). It’s just a […]
