It’s too bad I don’t access to a time lapse or live webcam of this WM storage foliage center … Here was from last week … It was cold (well for California) … Then this week, we got this thing that fell from the sky, it doesn’t happen very often – I think we call […]

“That glue that does not bind will surely tear us asunder …” I think that was Thomas Paine or was it Manny Ramierz? Welcome to the Pristine-Card-With-No-Glue party … as well as reports in France and the UK … so it’s an equal opportunity thing …

Of course, the whole CHASE thing is artificial. They take a CAR, much like a lot of another CAR, add something to it and call it a CHASE Car … even telling you upfront with the CHASE snipe on the card. The McQueen with Bumper Stickers had an ‘internal’ listed production run of 20,000 CARS […]

For those keeping track, the new cardbacks are .065 mm in thickness … While the previous WORLD OF CARS cardbacks are .079 mm in thickness or a little under 20% difference.

Thanks, Keith S. for putting this nice visual poster college of what is out there in some perfect world where you can walk into a store and find nearly everything 🙂 He has also uploaded it to our FLIKR POOL page. Extra large size here. Here is one in check list form but nice to […]

As promised from the ‘Dreaming of Comic Con 2009‘ post, here are the rest of custom Apple CARS created and photographed by Aroldo Pongetti. Thanks! Mia & Tia will jump on every bandwagon 🙂 And of course Aroldo didn’t stop there … how about Luigi’s mom from the Storyteller’s book? And one I’m surprised Mattel […]

Dustin Mellows is not just one of the nicest CARS, it is one of the nicest diecast EVER. Not only was he a character that flies through a 2-second scene in a 90-minute movie, he’s a truck from 50 years ago – but yet, Mattel say fit to make him perfect. The sculpt and reproduction/manufacturing […]

Well, here’s your CARS shopping roundup for Week 49. I hope you found the new pallet at Walmart. You know, the one next to where the rainbow ends and it’s buy 1 get, 5 free … oh wait, that’s Power Rangers in January – jumping the gun. Should we start from best? Well, the Sears […]

As 2009 approaches, we know it’s going to be an amazing CARS year … “The Golden Age” of CARS … In anything, the question is “What is NOT coming out in 2009?” 🙂 You just have to look at the artistry and quality of production of a character that drives through about 30 frames in […]

Finally! (Int’l Packaging but CARS the same) And I think you know what the No Stall gang looks like …
