“Stig McQueen” sends along great pics and great instructions on making your own slot CARS … “They’re not Mattel diecast bodies on slot car chassis (which would be too heavy to stay on the track and too wide to pass each other).  Rather, they’re plastic-bodied “HO”-scale (1:64 is “HO” in the slot-car world) cars that […]

“Markk17″ found these at a TRU. These are the final 2 Mater the Greater 4-packs … this seems like a slightly different expression for LUG. These do look like repeats on LUG & NUTTY. These are not on the TRU website yet. Thanks for the nice pics “Markk17.”

The 2010 Collector’s Guide has arrived to online retailers including our advertisers, ChildrensToyCloset and PitStopToyShop. Thanks for the great photos, PitStopToyShop. BTW, #31 is for the Toon singles numbering and the regular singles. The difference between this and the other Dragon McQueen is the Ransburg (aka: metallic finish). Thanks for the great photos, PitStopToyShop. As […]

On the surface, this is not particularly surprising – it was an oddity that the “chase” CAR in a box of lenticular CARS was in the non-lenticular/classic eyes design. And it […]

Submitted for your evidence from “Mike-1202mcgowan.” Yes, it’s what you think it is … Yes, it’s clearly lenticular Bling Bling Lightning McQueen. It’s the CHASE version with the new all gold* wheel rims + Piston Cup. * Not actual gold BTW 🙂 So, it looks like after these (including the ones already out) … The […]

There is no official word on the Mini’s but with the Mater Tall Tales, it’s most likely the Mini’s are on a peg hiatus until maybe CARS2? But here is your MINI McQueen Visual Checklist. Let me know if you think I missed photographing one? For completists, Mini McQueen comes in “decal eyes” version & […]

Thanks for the updated and heads up, ChildrensToyCloset.com … Here is the case contents for CASE E Singles.
