Good evening T5ers,

This is my first time placing a topic…pretty much my first time with the new forums so please excuse my first attempt at this. (I am Canadian Eh!)Wink

Here goes…Can anyone Please explain the Rip C. "Saga"…are we looking at another Apple I-Car "Challenge" to say the least?

Maybe this topic was already well covered and I missed it so can anyone please shed light on this or point me in the right direction.

What is Mattel and Disney's position (if any) on this? 

From what information I gathered it seems that Rip, well either Clutched, is GONEski or R.I.P.

Thanks!

My topic that I created in August, RIP CLUTCHGONESKI DIECAST!!!!!!!!!!!, sort of answers the question. The diecast has been made, (there is a pic if it at the end of the post) but 2 things have slowed it's production;

1) the chaacter was added late into the movie.
2) some Car company made a Car that looks "somewhat" like Rip. They sued Pixar for that dumb reason.

So while the millions of Finn McMissiles and Lightning McQueens were done and being shipped to stores, Rip was just getting started on production.

I hope that somewhat answers your question on the Rip Saga.

Thanks Fillmore 1234,

Yes your explanation helps understand the situation. so when do you think we will see Rip?

Also, being new to this, how do I get to your August topic…

Am I "rookie" or what EmbarassedSmile

Thanks,

The whole thing it utterly ridiculous.  On every Cars package where they used a known car, there are logos (Ford, GM, etc.).  Why on earth would Pixar steal the idea for one car?  The case has no merit, just as Jake Mandeville-Anthony had no merit in his case against Pixar.

Maybe this car company is just looking for $$$$ or publicity (their logo) on Cars2 packaging!

And also, Rip will probably not make it out I the wild until early-mid 2012, as we still have all of these newly announced Cars that will make it's way here before it.

Wow, I like your lovely color critique.  Hey, speaking of this, where did yours come from. Is it actually a prototype?  Or did it accidentally roll out the back door?  Please don't tell me anything that could put you or I in danger. Cool

So it will come out soon in 1:55 but what about Disney size? 

I ask this as my almost complete Cars 1 is 1:55.

For Cars 2 I had originally decided Disney and hot the 21 in display cases and, Crabby, the race cars with lights, and Siddeley…still awaithing RIP in this size…1:48 or 1:48?

Then got the WM, KM exclusives and away we go.

I have no idea on the 1:48 scale Rip. I don't collect those because Of no Disney Store in 4 hours from me so I'm not sure on that. I would say yes it would but it would probably be later coming out than the Mattel version, but no one will know for sure until about a week or two before it's released!

Thanks for the heads up Fillmore 1234.

Also I read your August…great information there. I copy pasted a reply of yours (hope you do not mind)…did not know how to bring it in. Here it is…

 "do remember the ol' Shiny Wax Hauler Depression of 2009-10-11 etc. But it wasn't just him. There were countless haulers that weren't released, such as View Zeen, Vitoline, N2o Cola, Easy Idle, just to name a few. Then many of them were hard to find, like Oliver Lightload, Ben Crankleshaft, Chet Boxkarr, and a few others. Come to think of it, the people in charge of them didn't do the best job in the world."

On this…do you think these haulers will ever be available?

I got them all in doubles (displayed and packaged) (USA and international packaging) and I even made room for Shiny Wax, View Zeen, Vitoline etc…

Reports of finding Ben Crankleshaft, Oliver Lightload, and Chet Boxkarr have been seen at stores like Big Lots, TJ Maxx, CVS Pharmacy, etc. I doubt te Shiny Wax, View Zeen, and Vitoline Haulers will ever cone out though. ;( it's a shame. I call it empty promises, like Chocolate Bunnies you think are solid but are instead hollow an filled with a bunch of sour hard candies made in shapes like Spongebob.

Ahh, of course. Too funny! And, BBigMike says "diecast mafia." So, as long as it was Mater and not Ivan that did the towing I think you'll be ok.  Laugh
