Tomy has updated their Mini Mack for the Mater Tall Tales … you get a Dragon McQueen, Mater Tuner, El Materdor Mater & Mater the Greater … The package doesn’t look like much as you have to assemble and sticker most of it … And the elaborate instructions … Since I know not much Japanese, […]

Both are two of the nicest diecast box sets EVER … Part I is here … This is the other box set from Mater the Greater … First, one of the coolest and greatest diecasts ever – capturing perfectly the personality of this version of Mater but also the great reproduction of Mater the Aviator […]

The Mater the Greater Box Sets are a fitting example of diecast greatness … High Dive mater is the same from all angles that I could tell but still one of the nicest diecast’s ever … it’s both cool and funny. Comparison with the megasize release … (sorry, pic is sliced off) The Pitty’s come […]

They’re not the most eye-catching carrying cases but they do the trick at around $6 … “dadmanrich” found at Walmart. Holds 48 CARS to varying degrees and sizes … If the dividers are removeable, that’s not bad … Thanks for the pics, “dadmanrich.”

How can you choose which one is the best Lightning McQueen Lenticular of 2009 … There are 5 to pick from … 5? Yep … The first lenticular release – looks pretty much like the “normal” (Classic) Lightning McQueen other than the eyes. Essentially the same mold as nearly all of the 2006-2009 releases (and […]

Kelvin says if you want a high speed wash in Malaysia, you might want to hurry … But it does look like you can peel that Lightning McQueen right off and slap on another trademarked foam board Car-object-thinger   🙂 Well, I guess at least there’s no TakeFive watermark on Lightning 🙂

Last hauler of 2009? Nice, soothing – very classy blue … Spring has sprung even though it’s not really spring but with mood springs trademarked springs, it’s always spring.™ Funny how they don’t fit that logo on the trucks. “You and your bad feelings … like I’m gonna wreck for the 5th consecutive race … […]

Thanks for the heads up, “Moe” and “Boots.” They have spotted and photographed the TALKING MACK TRANSPORTER with Bug Mouth McQueen! Press the hat and he “talks.” And yes, the Bug Mouth McQueen is the Mattel diecast 1:55 version so if you have been holding an open spot open for him, here’s your chance. Is […]

Is your new WOC: Night Skyline Gil all grunged up? Yes, the first release of Gil was a bit grimy (intentionally) … But the new one seems either excessively so or it was not re-washed? So, variant or error? What say you? Original Gil release post. Or pick up a Gil for $7.99 from Amazon […]

Buckland Blowouts has landed a nice collection of the oddball first set of Desert Art international cards. The main difference is the nameplate (if included) is a small sticker on the right inside corner. By the middle of 2006 and the release of the Desert Art 16 series, the names were added in a more […]
