There is NO June Kmart CARS Event Days coming this June. BMW got this note from Kmart’s head CARS honcho … “… We will not be running a single one day event in June. Instead we will be running a month long sale on cars products and  we will have new oversized mix in June […]

It looks most of the playsets for the Toons (2009-2010) are going to be re-released this Christmas. The CARS included in the playsets are all plastic and while we’ve had a few limited re-releases at Walmart, does this mean more singles & deluxe diecast releases? Rescue Squad Mater Will we actually get the release of […]

The perfect day to order some not yet released CARS from overseas … I told you not to buy a CAR built on the Friday afternoon shift … At least this “customizer” is only charging you a couple bucks … Well, it’s definitely not from Tomy, it’s definitely a Mattel Pitty … who knows, it […]

As we all know, every once in a while, people replace CARS in box sets with random diecasts … who do we report when Mattel replaces the correct CARS with random CARS? 🙂 Anyone could mistake 2-Buck Mia & Tia fans with Gold Mia & Tia, right? I’m presuming the photo is a mistake and […]
