The last two Collect & Connect puzzle are out. Each comes with a “exclusive” diecast car – both actually quite nice. Francesco is nice with the silver piping instead of the white plastic – it’s still plastic but nicer looking … McQueen is a step up in more ways than one. On the surface, it […]

This is from the new Quick Changers series* … Thanks for the nice photo, “Noanat” and David V. This is from Canada but it seems likely that this is the new “London-Big Bentley” card design for “2012.” The card for the next diecast case (C) are still the Porto Corsa design so maybe as early […]

So far, there doesn’t seem to be much available at a huge discount in stores … they are probably still assessing what they have left and the massive toy markdowns probably won’t start until next week. Target has only dropped a handful of items about 10-15%. For now, the best CLEARANCE pricing is still at […]

The new Collect & Connect puzzles are out – emphasis on COLLECT. Some of you might be thinking, I bought the Finish Line Frenzy GAME with a silver logo MCQueen & Silver flames … did you think the puzzle guy would let the game guy trump him by releasing the same exact car? No way […]

If you had your money on Radiator Springs Ramone, you win a cookie. He’s Number #29 in the numbering scheme and the first “off the grid” in the numbering scheme from the little booklet. He should be included in every case shipped. But note that with retailers cutting back and now he’s one of 24 […]

While this is not the 1:55 diecast version – a sneak peek at the upcoming Hawk McQueen (from Air Mater) in large scale version + updated technology … “Take to the skies with Hawk McQueen! Just like in the animated short “Air Mater,” Hawk McQueen transforms from car to plane mode and features lights and […]

In a major drift from the norm and following the huge big spirited middling success of Squinkies, Mattel has apparently decided there’s money in mini, mini MicroDrifters. “These small-scale vehicles feature ball-bearing technology that allows them to race, drift and swarm-just like they do in the Disney*Pixar Cars films. Sold in packs of three, kids […]

The Amazon CARS 2 clearance seems to be going well … as things start selling, prices go up and a few things has even fallen from clearance like the Air Hogs Finn – gone after a 67% price drop. You can check out all the CARS Clearance HERE. Only really one new item – the […]

It seems likely the next 4-packs are Target-only but there’s no definitely indication. Raoul, Lewis, Jeff Gorvette AND … (Raoul’s Caroule’s Crew Chief) Bruno Motoreau. He is also scheduled as a single. I believe the Kmart 2-pack of Raoul & Bruno is canceled. Nigel, Francesco, Lightning & Nigel’s crew chief PLUS … Nigel’s Crew Chief, […]

Last week, I posted links to many CARS 2 items (plus a few other toys) and just casually checked in to see if prices had changed and lo and behold, it’s like an active stock market – the power of supply & demand. Some have more price drops, a few had price increases and I […]
