In a surprise twist, the Disney Store Corporal Josh Coolant is available for the first time as in the US as a 2-pack at JCPenney.com. He was previously only available in the Radiator Springs to the Rescue 10-pack. While he is technically a 1:43 scale, he is much closer to 1:55 scale. Since there’s no […]

It looks like the Disney Store diecasts have switched to the paper & plastic (not acrylic) mini carrying case format. Thanks for the nice photos, “Infiniti McQueen!” The new Police Lightning has color lights and metallic paint. The monochrome matte version was the previous release. And if CHASE’s are CHASERS, does that mean there is […]

In the UK, Disney is launching a CARS “Fuel Your Fun” promotions: Disney unveiled plans for the Cars: Fuel Your Fun U.K. retail and marketing campaign today at the U.K. Toy Fair in London. Set to run from March through July, the campaign and corresponding loyalty program are designed to build engagement for the Cars […]

You’re at work and you think, in a pipe dream world – I’d really like to watch the entire CARS (2006) movie in about a minute and thanks, I’ll do all the dialogue myself … Thanks to the fun geeks at Reddit, your very wish has come true. You can view it HERE. You can […]

Is the Disney Store phasing out the stacking acrylic cases for their singles? It is cardboard wrap and a plastic box with a plastic handle. The background art is at the rear of the car as opposed to the back side (so it’s smaller). So, it’s cute for kids but I’m sure collectors much prefer […]

A NEW Lights Tuners Set! While it’s hard to tell scale from a photo, they are listed as diecast and the longest is listed at 4.25″ inches (presumably Toyko Mater), these should be the repeat releases of DJ, Boost and Wingo (as 1:43 scale – no reason to make a new scale) PLUS the new […]

Arriving Tuesday (thanks for reminder “later mater.”) This 3-disc set contains CARS 1 in Blu Ray 3D, Blu Ray, DVD & a Digital Copy. Only the film is “newly” available in 3D, there are no new bonus features – all still in 2D HD only. Why didn’t CARS 3D get a theatrical re-release? After Monsters, […]

“John H.” found a wood Radiator Springs playset and table. This is marked from a company called KidKraft, of course, TRU offered a private label series of wooden CARS in the same gauge as Thomas the Train/Brio, etc … I’m guessing the TRU exclusive ended or TRU is only selling off the remaining stock so […]

Disney has put up some fun free online CARS Games … HERE. Fun to play at work though others might notice some serious banging on the arrow keys. 🙂 I think I spent way too much time getting the hang of Guido’s Signtastic. If anyone asks, I became a pro in 10 minutes, yea that’s […]

While the whole Silver Series Expanded Universe storyline, shorts and diecast releases seem to have been back burnered – maybe when PLANES went from a straight to home video to a theatrical release, they didn’t want another line intruding on it – but they did hint a Silver Series short would arrive around September so […]
