“BMW” was passed along an interesting anecdote from someone … “I ran into a Mattel rep at Walmart the other day. I asked him why there was no new stock and told him it’s been like that for months. He got out his iPad and scanned a single. He told me there is none on order […]

“John H.” spotted this available online – so “we will jack you up!” Was he jacked up in CARS 1?

Collector (and T5 reader) Javier J. sends along fun photos of his son and their CARS displayed at the Museum of Transportion in Puerto Rico. Nice! Thanks Javier J!  

Thanks “ED” for the nice pics of the new 2015 2-packs. All are re-releases though some have not been out in a while – plastic tire Easy Idle has only been released as a launcher, no single, no 2-pack … and Easy Idle Pitty hasn’t been out as a single since ROR … though you […]

It’s 15% off the wholesale cost so that translates to about a dollar or more off on the final price depending on the cost of the checklist issue (they subtract the cost from the production […]

Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Sally with Tattoo is apparently taboo in the US … hard to find so “John H.” went to the great white north (well, from the weather report this week, it’s already a wintery vortex). Unibody Sally. Nice new sharp mold. Different expression and mouth from Sally with Cone […]

Well, maybe not sale of century, but at least the best sale of TRU in 2 months! 42% OFF – what a deal … Er, unless you can do real math – but no, just concentrate on 42% off! $3.50 each – you can’t calculate it that way. That makes it seem like you’re still […]

Interesting Deluxe coming … Looks like an Ito San repaint? Where is he from?

Well, I got me some … Okay, I’m kidding – Children’s Toy Closet has enough Frank’s to satisfy your needs … You can buy Frank individually or by the case. There are two Franks and two Red in each case and 1 of Gray Semi and 1 Richard Clayton Kensington. It is a strange way […]
