The “Special Edition” Scavenger Hunts are not technically CHASE/SUPER CHASE in CARS Collecting lingo … what does that mean? Well, let’s start with the LEGAL, the BUSINESS PROMISE and the PUFFERY as different degrees of limited/early/exclusive/preview/ scavenger/chase/super chase or X of X. LEGAL – It’s the toy business. There is no real legal definition that […]

Thanks, “Carl P.” for the heads up and photos. The new poster with a preview of the Next Wave of Mini Racers … Many have been revealed already … but a few are newly revealed … \ Metallic. Glow in the Dark (cool!) Other side of the posterr. Bag. The last checklist.  Maybe the SILVER […]

Flo was always an oddball with the middle part pushed through a hole in the rest of the body that was diecast. She became […]

A preview of 2018 Mainline singles “at the track,” Pitty’s, Semi Cabs, Camera CARS, Announcers and Fans. (There is also a “FANS” line coming out – probably Target?) Some are out, others are coming. There are also Crew Chief’s announced but no previews yet. And technically, the Lightyear Blimp should’ve been included but would’ve imbalanced […]
