The Royal Guard Tractor seems to be the only release that is not based on a Mattel mold. Presumably since they used a larger/different mold last year – they just continued to use it. It’s very nice.   Compared to the Mattel Tractor, just too different.   Lineup of Series 1, 2 and parts of […]

Tomy Takara has a Mack Transporter with Fire Helmet for the Japan only Rescue Go! Go! series. (CARS not included) You can check out this and the other fun Tomy Takara playsets.

In honor of RED Day, win a couple Red’s (er, the vehicle kind). One Red you can play with in the Red Sea and the other on a Red letter day! Confused? Yea, I lost track of the pun train. How about win 2 Red’s – one diecast, one hydro! Thanks Disney! Contest starts now […]

Pit Crew Member Mack with headset finally checks in. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.”   Slightly different than regular Mack (besides the obvious). Maybe if someone has a recent Mack, they can take a look – new Rust-eze, mirror color? Hollow fuel tank bottom? Pit Crew almost here … we still need Mater […]

The photos make them look huge, they’re a tad longer than the Mattel 1:55 CARS … they’re vinyl. Lightning Mater Ramone – Purple And Doc Hudson. Pretty darn cute. Coming next month.   Pre-ordering up at Amazon.

Congrats “Stouffy” for winning a Hydro Frank & Mack! Send us your mailing address at: metroxing (at) gmail.com Thanks all for entering and thanks Disney!

During the Star Wars Celebration weekend, they revealed most of the CAR WARS CARS for 2015, the 3rd series (and apparently the last series). Lightning McQueen as Jedi Luke Skywalker Sarge as Emperor Palpatine + Cone Droid Ewok Pitty’s – Wicket & Logray (Shaman Ewok) Tractor as Royal Guard Deluxe Box Sets Lightning McQueen as […]

The history of ‘dirty” Lightning McQueen is not a pretty picture. The first attempt was Willie’s Butte McQueen. He was only available with the Radiator Springs Mountain Challenge track set. He was basically Lightning McQueen (also missing the Rust-eze tampo decal on the back spoiler) with dirt overspray, brown wheels and a matte finish versus […]

Dinoco Lightning McQueen has been one of the first releases – appearing in June 2006, as part of Wave 2. It was essentially a duplicate of regular LM painted Dinoco blue – same expression and missing the Dinoco tampo decal as the regular LM was missing the Rust-eze spoiler decal until that version was fixed […]

“John H.” has found an oddball Flik. Flik with a cowboy hat … Normal Flik. Cool hat. Is it legit? It would seem pretty random for backroom sellers just to glue a hat on Flik (random 1:55 Bug sized black cowboy hat?) Another toon? Thanks for the interesting and nice photos, “John H.”
