As you know, the Silver Metallic WGP Racers from CARS 2 are not officially canon in the Expanded Universe World … in the US, the newest issue of CARS, the Official Magazine reveals the story of how and why they all got painted silver. In Italy, as the CARS magazine has been ongoing for 5 […]

“John H.” and family took a visit to CARS Land and spent a few extra dollars inside the park. 🙂 First up, from “Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree,” a replica of the ride … It looks in scale to the actual ride – in “CARS World,” (aka: the film CARS) Tractors are like cows – taller and […]

Thanks for the heads up & photo, “Simba1814” Thanks Simba1814! So, I’ve lost track – is that every Mattel SUPER CHASE CAR in 1:43 format also?

At least we know that all retailers are treated exactly the same … Disneyland. Store inside Disneyland. Now if they had 150 of each diecast – each with 18 pegs, that would be cool to see … but just Francesco’s? – Not so much. At least we know, Matty treats Disneyland with as much interest […]

The Monster University “Grumblr” Site (like Tumblr) … I did not attend Monster U but I’m pretty sure this guy was in my dorm also. 🙂  

Surprise!* Consolidators have been offered singles cases from 2011 and 2012 … ‘Member these? Really, last, last chance to get cases B, C, D, E, F & L from 2011. Sorry A, G & H are sold out. So out of the 144 CARS (if you buy the 6 cases available), you’ll get 88 Lightning, […]

The Cozy Cone Gift Shop at CARS Land has an Alarm Clock that is neither an Alarm nor a Clock. AND they are not even selling it! WEIRD! “John H.” sends along nice photos of the new “Alarm Clock,” at the Cozy Cone Gift Shop at CARS Land. (UPDATE: I was confused – I thought […]

Only about 230 Christmas shopping days left! (Well, about 260 to Christmas Day). Here’s what’s coming to Costco & BJ’s Wholesale Club this holiday season. Costco will get the Big Personality Lightning McQueen for the younger kids. He has lights and sounds and is probably a “smart” toy when he speaks (“hey, where’d you go?” etc […]

Disney is offering a 90-second sneak of PLANES … If the embed doesn’t work, you can check it out here. Spoiler Alert: I’m no pilot but I suggest if you are in a crop duster, it’s probably not a good idea to fly in the wake of two F/18 jets. 🙂 Thanks for the heads […]

Lots of fun choices coming for the little ones … “Mater Tow ‘n Go” – Mater is a floating tub toy wearing his scuba gear of mask and snorkel. His friend Lightening McQueen is a bath squirter. Attach McQueen to Maters tow hook and Mater will pull McQueen up to his back bumper. Great Mater […]
