While we’ve had some planes or flight capable characters “CARS” previously – some were hard to define if they were accurate if they were the right scale since they were in the air (Rescue Squad Chopper) with nothing to really compare it to … or simply a “generic” flying craft that could be the correct […]

Zulily has a new Disney Pixar CARS sale … no diecasts but some playsets including the Space Shuttle – lots of cool books and some fun t-shirts … I would totally wear this to a sales meeting … (well, if it wasn’t T4 … 🙁  ). The salt & pepper Sally & LM look pretty […]

“Anthony C.” sends along photos of the PLANES PIT ROW GIFT SETS (They seem to called Pit Row Gift Packs in international markets). You get a diecast PLANE, a diecast Pitty and a plastic hanger tent (with a mini flag). Anthony C. says Bulldog (the PLANE) is diecast metal (well parts of him are metal […]

Lots of major characters actually speak, a few crossovers from CARS World (no one major) and lots and lots of Pitty’s. Disney Store PLANES products already out in case you missed it.

Coming in 2014 … The new series takes place between the events of the final movie prequel, Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, and the first Star Wars film in 1977, subtitled A New Hope. During those two decades, never featured on screen as of yet, the Empire is expanding its hold […]

The Disney Store Online is PLANES stacked, packed and ready for sales catapult … The “singles” PLANES Disney Store diecasts all come in a classy stackable acrylic box … While I have not actually held one in my hand, it’s safe to guess it’s pretty solid metal – the Disney Store diecasts tend to be […]

When I asked the Theme Parks Group when the Star Wars CARS would show up at the theme parks (besides the Star Wars Celebration Weekends, of course at Hollywood Studios, Orlando), I was told “Mid-Summer,” but I guess Disney is calling it SUMMER. WooHoo! No more school! (well, this might only apply to me) – […]

During the Star Wars Celebration weekends (through June 9th), in addition to buying some things, this year you can also become a Stormtrooper and help shoot down some Ewoks and rebel scum. A 3D scan of your face onto the Storm Trooper action figure. “The 10-minute experience uses the world’s highest-resolution, single-shot 3D face scanner […]

This new trailer FINALLY makes PLANES compelling. The first pretty much shows Dusty flying around – how exciting is it to watch 90 minutes of a single engine cropduster? Then while the last sneak peek with Dusty flying around with Echo/Bravo, the Navy jets was nicely done, it looked pretty sparse – finally, a worthy […]

A few days we created a family tree for the CARS diecast Universe + CARS diecast Expanded Universe. Most you knew or were already out or about to come out (Planes) but there was a mysterious one hinted at by Disney called “Rescue.” It looks like Disney gave the go ahead to Tomica (in Japan) […]
