CASE CONTENTS REVISED – New Case assortment HERE! When several cases were “canceled” and things shuffled around – they did create ONE Super Nice Double Chase Case – N (read about it here) which essentially combined elements of J, K, L & N so they had parts left over which now goes into the “Franken” […]

If you missed out on Barry Diesel in 2011, Children’s Toy Closet was able to uncover some in a warehouse … More photos in this post. He’s a BIG BOY – next to the Convoy Brothers … He’s the Andre the Giant of CARS … though he weighs the same as Convoy Brothers G-Man (Barry’s […]

While CASE J (and its TWIN CASE K) were canceled and essentially merged into CASE N – CASE J did make it to Australia … “Daven N.” was at the store in Australia when they opened the case for him. Brent Mustangberger with headset x1 David Hobbscapp with head set x1 Lightning Mcqueen with racing […]

Sad but you can get caught up in collecting CARS 1 (and Toons) in one fell swoop. Okay, you do need 15 Grover Cleveland’s or 150 Benjamin’s but hey, what’s skipping one mortgage payment for complete CARS 2006 to 2011? Or if you’re a pro athlete, one wheel rim for your SUV for hundreds of […]

The German Mail-away promo offer didn’t look too terribly interesting – Send in 4 UPC’s for what looked like White Walls Lightning McQueen … But it looks like they didn’t really have a photo of the final promo … it’s actually METALLIC Lightning McQueen with Bumper Stickers. (“Mit Aufklebern” that’s German for “With Sticker.”) Lightning […]

It looks like the last of the 4 “re-release” Toon Box Sets (Walmart Exclusives) have arrived. Thanks for the heads up on noticing they were variants, John In Mo, BMW & JestrJef. That’s another reason not to shop hungry, I snapped the bottom pic in a hurry to go eat lunch – clearly not looking […]

“Mike I.” says hi and sends along photos of his collection … I also have several other customs from Willie that might interest people. I had him create Herbie the Lovebug versions of McQueen, Sally, Mia and Tia. He also created a custom Breast Cancer Awareness Sally, which is a white car with pink ribbon […]

Some people are asking for a clarification if a diecast character release is canon and whether they should collect-buy it? Well, the first question is – do you like it? Next question – is it priced reasonable to you? I think you have answered the first questions of whether you should buy it? 🙂 As […]

“Mike I.” wanted a recap of the CARS 2013 Themes releases that are “new” from CARS 1 … it is trickier than it looks (naturally) so here’s the updated chart: There is really only one new sculpt – Mildred Bylane which is still not technically scheduled so she might actually be bumped to next years […]

LaneChange sends us his wrap-up from D23 Expo … I can tell you that I was literally the 4th person in line at the Mattel booth to purchase the Convoy Brothers. I arranged to meet TopherDawg from Take 5, we met at 5am greeted by about 500 people already ready to line up.  We were […]
