Naturally, the Japanese diecast company would rush out the Tokyo mater CARS first 🙂 A very nice 2-pack box. The Tomica CARS are 1:64 scale so narrower and slightly smaller … And of course, Tuner Mater … And the front side … The US version won’t be out for another 6+ months … As usual […]

“Mrs. Iamspeed” is offering a custom made Lightning McQueen Christmas bag … It looks very cool though since it’s not made of plastic or metal, I cannot tell you much about it other than it looks great. I believe this is made from some kind of cloth and held together not by rivets, bolts, solder […]

Jim Hill Media is reporting that Disney has registered a series of web urls surrounding the words: CARS 2: World Grand Prix Or as Jim Hill notes, they grabbed … CARS2-WORLDGRANDPRIX.COM CARS2WORLDGRANDPRIX.COM CARSWORLDGRANDPRIX.COM WORLDGRANDPRIX-MOVIE.COM So, you missed out on an opportunity to tuggle with Disney lawyers over urls 🙂 There are pretty much ‘Grand Prix’ […]

Slight update and info in regards to CARS2 … from Digital Spy. “For Cars 2, the whole Radiator Springs gang will hit the open road. “It’s Radiator Springs, and then the characters go to other places as well,” Lasseter said.” As for the character of Doc Hudson? “Lasseter is faced with the dilemma of repurposing […]

GeoTrax … apparently if you can cover the Earth with tracks from Geotrax … they will cover to your house to play … Bring your A game and your credit cards. The dude in the diaper has you beat … no, not the guy in the 1992 Huggies by the 1985 Camaro but that other […]

Okay, not me personally but a roundup of the customs from some of the great 3D artists out there  … Aroldo Pongetti says, don’t forget the launcher to go with the Apple Team. Sadly, I don’t think an official one will be coming soon … And over here in the US, customizer Richard Eckel has […]

There are an nearly never ending supply of capsule CARS except in the US. We got the TOMY set early in 2006 … About $1 to vend from the machines … while overseas in Asia and in Europe, they have gotten the other releases … While not technically from a vending machine – they were […]

If you’ve been holding out on adding the GeoTrax tracksessessss’- now you can’t use laziness as an excuse like me … The have bundled 6 sets together into a MEGA “Radiator Springs Mega Set” for $99 … “Fiddleheads-Heather” spotted this at TRU and sent us these pics. You can go through our visual checklist to […]

If you like your yule more old fashioned, you can also assemble a resin version of Radiator Springs … from Hawthorne Village. There are 3 town settings, Flo’sV8 Cafe, Luigi’s Christmas Tree of Tires,  and Ramone’s House of Body Art … The CARS are ‘articulated’ – no idea what that means … It does say […]

This looks like it’s only available in the UK … Photos courtesy of Steven H-B. In some ways, it’s like the US set but it has lights, sounds, a starter keys and TWO CARS. Nice features! Lights up! With sound effects … crackling flame noises? Yes, plastic – otherwise harder to fly and easier to […]
