CONFIRMED! In addition to the already reported SDCC San Diego Comic Con CARS 3 item … Mattel has confirmed there will also be a Disney D23 Expo item … (no, they wouldn’t tell me what it will be. 🙂  ). They are back to back weekends so come on over to Southern Cal in July […]

In addition to the few diecasts available to see, there was a large format Tech Touch Lightning McQueen that looks really fun for younger kids …   Plastic but nicely detailed. Lights. Sounds. Dialogue. Moving eyes and mouth! What’s great is the touchscreen on the back. You can pick different modes including one where you draw […]

ToyFair was great – we have a great year of fun toys coming including Mattel’s Disney Pixar CARS line … With the planned build-up, not a lot was available to actually see at the show but the three main characters were available … Not sure if this is the actual final card design … Cruz […]

Clear some space near your 2017 Christmas tree – we’re getting a CARS advent calendar … no photos of course but it probably looks something like the Hot Wheels one? The HW one comes with 8 diecasts and stickers listed at 1.4 lbs. The CARS one is listed at 8 oz so I think it seems likely it’s […]

Thanks, “Jacob H.” for the heads up. Deluxe Radiator Springs Classics 2017 – It does look we are just getting the cabs re-released for Gil, Chet Boxkaar, Ben Crankleshaft, Paul Valdez, and Jerry Recycled Batteries – no trailers. In the regular Deluxe Series,Vinyl Toupee Hauler cab “returns” with one new Semi Cab release – Transberry […]

No description but there is already a listing for CARS SDCC 2017! We can presume it’s a CARS 3 item … it has a product number – FND40 and a size … “11.748 by 9.5 by 6.874” Weight: 1.543 Lbs Though these dimensions might just be lifted from last years but it’s a start. There is also […]

Happy New Year All! You really ready to Collect ‘Em All? After careful analysis, there are going to be FIVE separate diecast singles lines. The “mainline” is the typical main diecast line that has been ongoing since 2006 with some returning characters but most of it will be CARS 3 diecast characters. Of course, after […]

We’ve had the Themes motif with “banners” for several years now – some themes get carried over and while the banner gets re-designed, it’s usually subtle or some years, it’s virtually the same. Of course, one way to tell is to spot the number on the front of the card indicating how many are the […]

Thanks “Scott M.” for the heads up and great photos. As others have reported, some 2017 Themes diecasts have started to show (CARS and CARS 2 only, of course). Technically, it’s a little late but of course, 2017 will be a good unique year with the release of CARS 3 diecasts … presumably the CARS […]

Based on the tracksets, playsets and other merchandise, we can presume there will be plenty of racing in CARS 3 as Lightning will be racing all over …
