Target is offering BUY ONE and get 30% off the second toy … if you’re still looking for the PLANES sets … And Wings Around the Globe 4-Pack with Ishani, Bulldog, El Chupacabra and Ripslinger. Propwash Junction, or Air Ambush. Unfortunately the Jolly Wrenches Navy 4-pack is not out yet. Or if you’re still looking for an iPad. […]

The Toys R Us Holiday “pop-up” temporary TRU EXPRESS stores are open around the country. It seems the 2013 Toys R Us Express stores are all or mostly located in outlet malls – there might be some exceptions but it seems to be the case. For some reason, TRU does not list them in their […]

“John H.” sends us nice photos of his TRU – looks nice for newbie collectors: No TRU around me looks like this. Happy shopping, thanks for the nice photos, ‘John H.”

“John H.” spotted this new CARS-PLANES pallet at Kmart … If gardening is not by toys, you may need to wander over. Plus Hydro CARS and Stunt Racers (including Jorg, hard to find for those interested). Keep in mind, none of these are on the Buy-5-Get-2-Deluxe CAR promotion eligible list of qualifying purchases. Thanks for […]

Jorg, Max Schnell’s transporter (from the Stunt Racer series) has arrived … He doesn’t look bad as a display item – the side detailing looks good enough. Thanks, “John H.” who sends along these pics, I think he mentioned Max doesn’t actually launch (too wide) – this is designed (in theory) for the Stunt Racer […]

A little weird the holiday CARS of 2013 have already leaked out but for many, it’s a lump of coal … and a slap in the face … Thanks for the nice photos, “Coyote77.” So Holiday Hotshot McQueen is NOT a unibody upgrade. Sally looks essentially the same from the last release. (that is just […]

NOW, the last of the Micro Drifters 3-packs have arrived! Including the last of the Micro Drifters shown off at the launch party last September – Flo. And perhaps good news for Micro Drifter collectors, Funny Car Mater was not shown off last year at launch and not listed anywhere so maybe they are starting […]

There is a new series of Ripstick CARS coming called RIPLASH RACERS. Basically a long stick can be pulled and you can launch multi-CARS!   2-Packs include: Lightning & Jeff Gorvette, Snot Rod & Hot Rod Mater and Chick Hicks & The King.   Singles at launch include: McQueen, Francesco, Raoul & the King. There […]

As I noted in my post on exclusives post a few weeks back, toy companies do not get it – if they really, really wanted just to thank their biggest fans – they should do so by giving them something – how do they determine that? I do not know. But short of them driving […]

This is the last one listed – it seems to be available at Target TRU – thanks for the nice photo, Lane Change. The Max Transporter, Jorg* – does seem to have the nicest design so far. If it were only diecast (at least the front cab), it would be a nice addition to the […]
