Louis LaRue has arrived in stores … Another fun Paris Citroen 2CV. He comes with the oddball “cane.” My guess is since Marcel Marceau was famous for having a red flower and a cane as part of his persona act, this is a CARS tribute to him so I’m guessing that the “brown stick” is […]

There are separate “tracks” accessory pieces available to attach and extend your Play & Race launcher playsets … These actually would serve nice as a diorama or backdrop … Though I guess some are not very canon … and I’m not sure what you might stick in the holes if it doesn’t come with the […]

There’s no listing for how many box sets there will be … this might be the first one? NOW on Amazon. It might make sense since they are producing Tach-O-Mint for the first case of singles, this might be the 1st 5-pack. The most basic math is that we’ll get 35 of the Piston Cup […]

One more Radiator Springs Classic release to go after the arrival of Costanzo Della Corsa … same as the last release, segmented face. Milton Calypeer is the only one left on the list – does this line continue to 2015? Nothing new yet.

It’s unclear when the first case for 21015, the Q case, will be out … November 2014? … as the norm when the typical motif changes to the next one or will it be after Christmas? It looks like the general “themes” concept won’t change as the product codes for singles for 2015 does not […]

Coming in the first singles case for 2015 … Tach O Mint That makes it 35 of 36 Plastic Tire Piston Cup Racers.* And yes, he’s a real member of the O-Mint family, unlike SpareMint, the ******* blue headed galoot trying to horn in on the old-money O-Mint name. * Though technically, it’s still 34 […]

Coming in 2015, a Radiator Springs 5-Pack with 2 Tractors! No, not 5 in one pack. This 5-pack also comes with Lightning McQueen, Mater & Ramone so it’s a nice starter set. Will they have a slightly different expression? Seems likely. 2015 will apparently be the year of the Tractor as it’s also appearing for […]

More than 5 years since the prototype was created … Benny Brakedrum! And moving into the oversized-deluxe lineup for the first time EVER … Yep, our old/oldest and hardest to find friend, TRACTOR! Also returning as deluxe/oversized – Mack, and Red. This list is NOT complete yet but it’s off to a good start for […]

John H. asks if Lubewig is a Trunkov in terms of the same auto family line. Well, there are a couple answers because nothing is too detailed to ponder at T5. 🙂 A) Presumably the Pixar designer of one or both of these CAR characters decided to follow the same template – probably to save […]

Of the new releases in 2014, some people wonder why it seems stores keep getting the W Case (early 2014) with just Cartney Carsper as the “new” CAR in the case. Yea, there’s no rhyme or reason. Logically, they should be shipped new cases as they are released but of course, there’s no real logic […]
