Previewed early … “John H.” sends along some early open photos. These are from Mattel so they are 1:55 scale. Thanks for the early pics and info, “John H.” Links to the other new CAR WARS diecasts plus ordering instructions.  

In addition to the 2-pack Tractors as Sandtroopers and the 3-pack of Obi Wan Doc Hudson and Jawa Pitty’s, there’s also a Chick Hicks as Boba Fett – presumably as a single unless another mystery CARS WARS diecast appears. Thanks for the great early photos, “John H.” This looks like a solid block of diecast […]

While they previewed the 2-pack Tractors as Sandtroopers a few month ago, they are adding to the CARS WARS diecasts for the theme parks Star Wars Weekends (starting on May 16th). BIG NEWS – Unlike the releases from last year, John H.  says these are definitely from Mattel! So, they are definitely Expanded Universe now. […]

The latest Super Chase Pretty darn cute … What’s that in the middle of Luigi’s hat? Is that some illuminati symbol? 🙂

The Disney Store is getting in on the Neon Racer deal … The Disney Store one also does not actually seem to glow in the dark.   There is also a Disney Store version of Heavy Metal LM now. They also have a fun personalized book of Lightning McQueen. They also have a nice price […]

No er, peep that these are ever coming as diecasts – of course, Easter Mater […]

The Star Wars Celebration Weekends are May 15 to June 16 this year at Disney World’s Hollywood Studios. Last year, of course, they introduced the CAR WARS CARS … they are continuing this year with a box set of the tractors as Sandtroopers. These are $19.95. Thanks for the heads up, “NascarBronco.” The one on […]

Thanks for the nice pics, “John H.” While we have had several Range Rover releases, Mike Lorengine is a little undersized … I think Josh Coolant is scaled to fit in the Mattel series of CARS characters. Josh Coolant definitely seems undersized for the 1:43 Disney store series (where this one came from). Josh Coolant […]

My Target has not gotten these in yet but “Quercy’s” store has them … Without giving away the entire story, there are some surprise racer appearances … Interesting, does this mean there will be a Neon Frosty exclusive in Australia this Autumn again? Nothing listed as of yet but why not? It’s an easy repaint/deco […]

Two new “Chasers” at the Disney Store in the new packaging … Frosty & Vitaly Petrov. Thanks for the heads up, “Kasey C!” BTW … Free Shipping when you spend $50 or more at Disney Store with Promo Code: SHIPMAGIC (Normally, it’s FREE SHIP with a $75 purchase). Most everything for PLANES is also back […]
