It’s only been a few days but we already have some variants … “Carl P.” noted that there’s a PURPLE and a BLUE OCTANE GAIN HAULER (aka: Bobby Swift’s hauler). The correct one seems to be the PURPLE one as that’s the one photoed on the back of the other hauler boxes. “Loic and Katie Ann […]

Long time CARS fans knows in the past few years, the Mattel CARS website and accompanying year poster was definitely not posted in the early part of the year … but for CARS 3, they have all their ducks in a row and there’s no goose in the gander sauce (I think that’s the saying). […]

Thanks to everyone who sent in great pics, “John H, John V, Michael VN, Howard DH, Travis S., Bobby D., Celso, Damien V., Brian B., Bill L., Carl P. … sorry if I left you off the list!” My local WM, guy loaded these and then called it a day … This was the weirdest […]

It’s hard to tell without looking at the contents of each box set to make the most efficient purchases without too many repeats – here are the box sets out so far: The Fireball Beach 4-Pack With 4 new releases. Luigi with Flag is new. While Guido with tires & tool chest is not really new, […]

Haulers – Cabs with trailers are a Walmart exclusive – the Wally Hauler returns as is in new packaging so the photo of him is not included here. Thanks, “John H.” for the nice photos. For variant collectors, it looks like there is a color variant on Bobby Swift, Octane Gain’s hauler.

The new 2-packs look nice – not too many repeats and you can skip a few singles by picking up the 2-pack though there are some diecasts exclusive to the 2-packs format.

There are 4 deluxe diecasts, RED looks to be a repeat but Mack has updated graphics – Miss Fritter and Tiny Lugsworth are new. Happy shopping!

While everyone is receiving CASE A singles, there are about 10 different endcaps, pallet dumps, sidecaps and counter displays so there are a few other diecasts available … Happy hunting! The re-releases of CARS 1 characters look to be the same but variants? We’ll find out soon.

Thanks “Michael VN,” for the fun last days day photos … I wonder what will go here. One is the loneliest number. Down to hours … The perfect way to celebrate May Day – raw, unfiltered Capitalism. And I shall call you squishy. Ready, set SHOP!

Thanks, “John H.” for the great photos. Called CARS 3 Mack Hauler Nice update on the graphics! Play action is the same. Mack from all three CARS movies. Great graphics! Thanks, “John H.”
