I predict one of these launchers will be much more popular than the other one … Rip Clutchgoneski will be going, going gone … Yes, Rip is scheduled as a single also. No, no one knows when ANYTHING will get released … BTW, this 11-pack seems to have disappeared from the list so no double […]

Add another metallic Toys R Us exclusive to the list … When will Miguel be out? He can’t come out out just right now … (Okay, actually Spain riots – via Epi.org).

Looks like Walmart joins the pricing adjusting party a day late and literally a dollar short. 🙂 The good news now is that you can take this info to price match at Target, Kohl’s and in theory Sears.* I think you have to go to customer service at Target … good luck! Thanks for the […]

The topline … Mattel Inc. said Monday that its first-quarter profit dropped 53 percent, pulled down by costs tied to an acquisition and lower sales for Barbie and Hot Wheels. Results for the largest U.S. toy maker were below expectations and its shares fell more than 7 percent in trading. But the disappointing results came […]

I know when someone says METALLIC CARS, you think of the Disney CHASE Metallic Francesco Bernoulli. But long time collectors might remember back to the days of yore when Mattel also released CARS … 🙂  or 🙁 … Can you remember back that far? When you & your best date would stroll hand in hand, […]

Disney Pixar CARS: Character Encyclopedia publishing date has been updated – it is now coming out July 30, 2012 (and not 2013). There is a cover photo on Amazon with a stand-in Lightning McQueen as the CAR included with this book – but here is the actual CAR you will get with the book. It is […]

Yesterday, we listed the CARS 1 diecast CARS returning to Toys R Us this Christmas. It looks like Flo’s V8 Cafe might make it back to Toys R Us as an exclusive? There is a listing called Flo’s for $35 … which sounds about right adjusted for inflation … Again, don’t bet the farm or […]

For latecomers or if need extras, apparently Mattel has found some Speedway 4-packs in the warehouse … It looks like you can get another 15% off this week (through 4/15/2012). AND if you are a new customer, you can sign up to get emails – another 10% off. There’s not much else too exciting CARS-wise […]

Well the Action Agents are not officially dead yet, just on their last legs, er tires … so if sales don’t pick up soon, they’ll probably last through the summer but there will probably be a clearance by the end of Summer to make room for CARS TAKE FLIGHT (aka: CARS planes) by Fall. Target […]
