I forgot that Mariela P. & Julia B. were kind enough to represent T5 for the opening of the Petersen Museum CARS exhibit and took some great photos … including the prototypes of the Convoy Brothers … And good news, they are not mucho mondo plastic but LOTS and LOTS of zinc! We can thank […]

We still don’t have the complete info yet such as when they are arriving but the Toons 3-packs are Walmart exclusives and they are $15.97. One of the 3-packs is called THE CONCERT so it seems pretty likely it will include 3 TOON CARS from HEAVY METAL MATER – probably Heavy Metal Mater, Heavy Metal […]

I do not hate the Micro Drifters but I think the “normal” pricing on them will be their death knell – $6 for 3 is at the far end of pricing that will garner much interest … they should have been a 2-pack for $1.99 or if you’re going to do $6 at retail, the […]

It was hard to tell if these were still coming but it looks like 2 new 4-packs have arrived in Australia at Kmart. Thanks for the great photos and heads up “OzzieMum.” It looks like in Australia they are not a Target exclusive but here in the US, they still continue to be. This set […]

Thanks for the nice photo, “Dolly P.,” we won’t ask what you have to pay. 🙂  🙁

Hopefully your Walmart shelf won’t look like this for much longer … the CARS reset (along with other diecasts) is coming after Valentine’s Day … maybe that is when CASE C will arrive? Thanks for the heads up, “JD!” And at Target, now that these are reasonably priced at $3.58 – there are no actual […]

Here are the first 17 PLANES listed on the singles list. You can see larger photos of the 4 main characters HERE. I’m presuming since the the Dusty listed here is called “Racing Dusty” that the single release version is a repaint of the “main” version (only available with his Pitty in the Gift Set). […]

There’s an interesting article in this month’s “Licensing” magazine … And “ToyNews” adds … “Disney is to launch a new special edition range of cross-category Silver Series products from its popular Cars film and franchise. The new range will have its own backstory, which will be revealed in a special Silver Series edition magazine, and […]

Toons are definitely returning … Only problem is so far, they are coming back only in 3-packs and as a Walmart exclusive. We also don’t know what’s in the 3-packs. There are 4 3-packs listed (no breakdown of contents) … in a perfect world, they would be 3-packs for the missing shorts: El Materdor Private […]

Larger photos of the PLANES diecasts were in the earlier post today – along with a story recap. While the PLANES are available as singles – they are also available in a PLANES Gift Set which are pretty nice with a Pitty and a Hanger “tent.” Dusty #7 (the main character) Bulldog #11, the British […]
