The first case of singles for 2015 are out – continuing the Themes concept … it’s a nice upgrade, extending the graphic to full size makes much more sense and it’s nicely dynamic looking. It is CASE P – continuing the new tradition of not starting on CASE A until a few cases have been […]

This newly arrived Disney Store Mack is HUGE. The cab except for the hat is all metal. HEAVY. Thanks for the great pics, “Adam S.”

As some people requested, a magazine checklist of just CARS 1 diecasts – for those who are ONLY collecting CARS 1 diecasts or who like to keep them separated … From 2006 to 2014, there are now 501 CARS 1 diecasts released by Mattel which includes all the variants – either error fixes, production changes […]

Bob Cutlass is supposed to be a Oldsmobile Cutlass … the 1992-1995 version, I believe … so what kind of CAR is Lewis Hamilton’s Crew Chief? A European GM (Vauxhall or Opel?)
