Amazon has a bunch of Mattel Back Friday-Gold Box deals good only until midnight. Most are Monster High-Ever After High but there are a few CARS-PLANES items … Most noteably, Cabbie the Transporter for @$12.49.

Surprise! Micro “I’m Not Dead Yet” Drifters are back! Well, there’s a 9-pack listing – a Christmas box set? I think these have all been released?

“Lavictdoukarai” sends along the full line of plastic light-up Neon Racers … Shu Todoroki Lewis Hamilton There seems to be different color lights – they seem to match the illustration. Lightning McQueen. These are not exclusive according to Lavictdoukarai – including available at Toys R Us, LeClerc, & Maxitoys – so not an exclusive series. […]
