The first two Moon Mater “Toon” releases from the (now) CARS Take Flight series were covered yesterday – today the two new releases from the case. Autonaut Mater is very nice … All the details from the short are on the diecast. Also nice, his entire cab is diecast metal so no plastic face plate. […]

Two of the 4 releases from the new CARS Take Flight series are “repeats” in one sense and not in another sense – you can decide if you want to add these variants to your collection. (We’ll cover the two totally new ones tomorrow). The Toon “Rescue Squad Chopper” has been released as “Rescue Chopper” […]

This is already available in Australia but it almost, certainly, definitely headed towards the US this Christmas – the Target only Radiator Springs Race Day 7-Pack resplendent in all the error of its ways.
