Radiator Springs Grand Prix 5-Pack … the first of the last? The Radiator Springs Classic lines continues with a new Grand Prix 5-Pack … the Radiator Team Lightning McQueen sports a new expression. The “exclusive vehicle” seems to be an Erik Lanely “repaint” without the World Grand Prix decals – we don’t know his name yet as there […]

Thanks “John V,” Target is getting ready for CARS 3 … see ya my old friend … slapped with a sticker across the face …

Thanks “John H.” for the great photos as we wrap up 2016 & 2016½. A surprise appearance – the Transberry Juice Cab. Of course, I think we’d all prefer the entire setup with the trailer. Still no trailer hole with the cab-only releases, weird but I guess they don’t us to think that we can […]

Thanks “John H.” for the great photos as we wrap up 2016 & 2016½. Alexis Wheelson. Elaborate. It’s too bad the pieces don’t move nor are they removable – which makes sense – you know those crazy diecast collectors, always snapping off pieces and putting it in their mouths … there’s always 5,217 in every […]

There is a singles-version of Fillmore coming. The one you get with Fillmore’s Taste In is a retro look and has glow-in-the-dark tampo decals. The upcoming singles version features headlights. Plus an opening engine compartment.  

Finally cracked open my Precision Series Dirt Track Fabulous Hudson Hornet.   There is a magnet under the display window – nice classy touch – so if you want to show off the display open, the “lid” will stay in place. (Nicer if you remove the bubble). The stand will let you display the three PC […]

Thanks “Carl P.” for sending along some great pics. After 1,000+ releases, and a third film coming – how do you keep the most popular character, Lightning McQueen in the release mix? A blind box series was an intriguing concept. Though if you picture the item on the outside of the box, most people do […]

The Precision Series Sally’s Cozy Cone is listed but not yet available. Looks pretty huge and elaborate. It looks like Sally has headlights that light up. Pretty sweet. Let us know when it’s actually available for sale.

2016 has been stretched to mid-April 2017 so you have a few more NEW singles to collect … And new as a SINGLE checklist … these have all been released before in box sets or 2-packs … And for those who collect all variants, these are now sporting flat windshields. Happy collecting!

Unlike the last movie transition, this time we are getting “new” diecasts right up to the release of CARS 3 … so while it’s 2017 in calendar time, it’s really 2016 ½ for the CARS collector as the “themes banner motif” is continuing until CARS 3 diecasts arrive @May 1, 2017. Today, the 2016 ½ 2-pack […]
