The “oversized” Deluxe Dinoco Helicopter has returned …   Opener Completists can rest – he is essentially exactly the same as the last release in the oversized-deluxe-megasize lineup. The “oversized” Dinoco Helicopter replaced the singles version in the World of CARS motif series – upsizing it slightly (maybe 30%) in the then new MEGASIZE-OVERSIZED series. […]

The Radiator Springs Classic line at Toys R Us only are diecast re-releases from CARS 1. While the card alludes to “favorites” from the original CARS movie as to why these re-releases are available, some of these releases are truth in blurb writing, others merely fall into line with production going on in the other […]

Dan H. & the kids celebrate CARS Christmas the right way … Two Super Chases! Santa clearly knew which case to order. He does know everything! 🙂 RRRIIIPPPPPPP!! Only 1,998 left sealed (I opened mine also … 🙂  ). The PROPER expression for opening TWO Super Chases in seconds – woohoo! Happy and Merry Christmas! […]

The themes checklist has been updated to show the NEW 2013 diecasts that “complete” the numbering scheme for each theme. AIRPORT ADVENTURE The Luggage Truck was pretty […]

At the original price of $49.99, it was definitely spendy and a lot of pricing room for discounts and clearance. But for those who couldn’t wait or wanted a nice pristine box, it’s not a bad set for completist and variant collectors. Of course at $32.99 or now at $25, it’s pretty much a must […]

Good until end of tonight – which might be midnight? For those who don’t live in the midwest where you can get the Meijer price match, this is the second best price match deal … you can go to Kmart.com to print this page out or bring your local circular. Good luck! Thanks Brian T. […]

Thanks for the heads up, “Benjamin A!” Meijer’s is having a nice Buy CARS for $1 Sale – can’t beat that deal … so happy shopping Midwesterners + Kentucky! 2-Day In Store Sale. Let us know if you score anything besides LM, Francesco, Finn & Mater’s – stocking stuffers or the 21th century version of […]

From about October 2008 to May 2009, for oddball reasons, RS Lightning and Cruisin’ Lightning McQueen were oversprayed with red after the tampo decals were applied – no one seemed to have noticed for the 8-9 month period at quality control – while technically a variant, it’s release was so common and by then, everyone […]
