Looks like the countdown clock has begun … Not a huge discount on the 3-packs but $3 less per pack than at TRU. $12.99 each for Colossus and the Space Shuttle.

Zulily which has a lot of cute and fun items for kids always on sale – they have a nice bundle on CARS books. (Sign in or sign up to view the deals). Just look under NEW TODAY > DISNEY CARS And some recent play sets and track sets.

And flips over … This is the “Disney•Pixar’s Cars Micro Drifters™ Fast-Flip Raceway” track set With a press of a button the action is started, launching vehicles around Willy”s Butte, where they can race, drift and swarm – just like in the movies. Time it right, and the set will flip to reveal the Piston […]

The new Walmart Endcap “reset” is not exactly an Earth Shattering, Get in the Car Now, Run to WM showcase of CARS … Not the most attractive configuration plus re-using the clearance sign doesn’t help. “Lane Change” sends along a better pic – looks like his WM got a mix of B & C – […]

Toons are definitely returning … Only problem is so far, they are coming back only in 3-packs and as a Walmart exclusive. We also don’t know what’s in the 3-packs.
