Way back in 2006 and 2007, the Disney Store introduced mini RC’s with a town playset that was quasi in scale (the leftover sets were available until about 2010). But now they are back … Luigi’s Della Casa Tires The Mini RC’s are actually quite nice – pretty responsive controls and fun for little tykes […]

If you’re collecting 1:43 scale Disney Store CARS singles in the display case – there is a metallic chrome Red (er, in red). Metallic Chrome Red was actually the first Disney Store CHASE CAR when it was released on card but when the Disney Store switched to plastic display cases for singles in the US, […]

If you’re in Chicago this weekend, you can check out the Cars “Take Flight” experience going on this weekend. NASCAR driver Casey Mears is explaining if you’re a real fan like the boy in green, you can pull a few pieces of the LEGO bricks off LM. If I were not lazy, I would’ve copied […]

Nice link to Porto Corsa, Italy. And the Mater Taco Salad: Romaine lettuce, salsa ranch dressing, chili […]

Dude, I want this … It looks pretty cool. You can place your Tomica 1:64 diecasts on a hook and drive like a mad man! I do not know any Japanese so I cannot gar-ron-tee any of this is actually correct but I’m 1,000% certain my translation is 100% correct. 🙂 2 Gears – High […]

Japanese CARS diecast license, Tomica has added some Toons to their lineup. They are 1:64 scale so slightly narrower than US Mattel releases but generally most everything but the wheels are made of heavy gauge metal though in this case, I’m guessing the wings are metal but the helmets are plastic. It’s not a very […]
