At first, it looks like another WM $1.97 CARS 2 clearance … But it seems to only apply to Finn, Francesco & Holley Shiftwell (Holley actually sells well and its unlikely there are many on the shelves to clearance out). Turns out that all the Mattel 1:55 diecasts are on sale at $1.97 even though […]

“Pixarlover” was at an automobile museum and spotted the real life Tatra 87 … Only 3,056 were produced from 1936–1950. You can read more at Wikipedia. I can safely say I’ve never seen one in the street. Thanks for the great pics, “Pixarlover.” AND he’s coming as a diecast before the end of the year! […]

“Mark T.” found this in South Dakota (don’t you all go rushing there) and sends along this photo that literally can stand up in a court of law. 🙂 It is literally hot off the internet press. 🙂 I’m also guessing he’s not in a South Dakota Target – it does look like a fun […]

The return of Sarge in 2009 meant he got some slight color variations including a darker green but also yellow stripes. his mold is more detailed and the tires are slightly […]

Well, it was nice while it lasted, what was it – a week? The Golden Age of CARS 2 with the release of CASE G – a case with 4 new releases including three CHASE CARS and the Ultimate Chase FLASH. Man, that was a sweet era age … week. The next singles CASE H […]

Fun sneak peek at the booth video for 2012 SDCC Mater. Our review, video & pics HERE.

Roger the Space Shuttle with DVD is now on Amazon. You can see more pics from last week’s post. And if you want to recreate this scene as “John H.” did, you can still pick up Everett the Jumbo Jet at Amazon also. Swwwweeeettt!

“CollectorMom” sends us some great pics as the early proud opener of the Micro Drifter’s Tokyo Playset (Super Speedway Playset) (available at Amazon). You load the Micro Drifter CARS into the Pit Launcher, press the lever and off they go. Looks like it could be fun … though it will be much more fun when […]
