Otto Bonn, Max Schnell’s crew chief has appeared on international cards – so it should arrive soon as a single – which is nice instead of those crazy Target 4-packs. Thanks for the heads up “John H.” and the nice all crew chiefs checking in soon photo. Mater on the unemployment line is not shown […]

Brian Gearlooski is coolski. Thanks “John H,” for the open pics and “Michael VN,” for the on-card pic. The last 2015 2-pack. A fun crew chief addition. Fun details all around. While at first glance, he seems to be a Trunkov – he is an all new sculpt. The Trunkov family – all different sculpts […]

Thanks for the heads up & photos “OzzieMum!” Icy Ice Racer Frosty has arrived in Australia! Like last year’s Neon Racer Frosty, there’s no (Australia) Target-ONLY designation but it’s presumably an Australian exclusive at Target Australia only. “OzzieMum” is checking to see if there’s a poster this year also. Thanks for the nice photos and […]

Thanks “GotMeCollectibles” for the head-ups. The next singles case H … the poster is back! This is a photo of the original poster from February – is the poster the same? So, I guess Case H will be the 2016 cards with the APP snipe plus now with posters? Nothing NEW in the case except […]

Thanks “Buckland Blowouts” for the nice photo. It looks like the last CASE of 2015 CARS is heading our way … First appearance of Jay W. as a single. This is the Canadian card.

Martin A. (he was the Design Manager/Team Lead for CARS from 2007 to 2010) has some retail CARS items on eBay that he will personalize and sign so check them out at his eBay store, Mr. Toy Pro. After buying, he will sign it with whatever message you’d like.

The other day, we covered the history of Mater variants – so we already have another one? “Alejandro T.” sends along pics of a brown engine compartment 2015 Mater. No black paint on the carburetor cap and definitely brown and not tan plastic for the engine (see last photo). Otherwise, pretty much the Mater out now […]

Rimso, the last Super Chase of 2015 has arrived – aka: Circus Pickup – thanks for the great photos, “John H.” Great expression. Interesting solder (?) in the back of the chassis? Complete scene. Thanks for the great pics, “John H!”

It’s like it’s 2009 – Super Chases at retail.* Thanks “Michael VN!” for grabbing a pic before grabbing the diecasts. 🙂 Quick getaway. Thanks “Michael VN” and good luck to us all! *No SC in 2009 but Chases.

For the most part, while there have been a ton of Mater VERSIONS (like Mater with Blue Hood, Mater with Spy Glasses, Blowing Bubbles Mater and while, Mater has tended to look the same, there are Mater VARIANTS so long time collectors might want to ‘collect ’em all.’ (VERSIONS are Mater with DIFFERENT NAMES (and different looks) while […]
