The first six parts of the Collector’s Field Guide covered the single CARS on hanging blisters that were available to all authorized Mattel resellers including the main retailers, small retailers, online and other resellers. In 2007, the first exclusives were merely packaging exclusives at Target until the important Walmart 8 exclusives released in October 2007 […]

Of course, CARS will easily take over one room that’s unguarded … spouse is away for an hour 🙂 Photo courtesy of NCC-2000 … but now, you can have it “professional.” Okay, in this case, you actually have to buy a house and then Disney will spiff it up one or more of the room […]

The only other ongoing diecast CARS series is from Japan, from Tomica. Unlike the Mattel line which other than the love of re-re-releasing McQueen’s in each box has given us over 200 CARS – Tomica is pretty much sticking to a few dozen CARS and has been re-issuing them with different eye positions.

Altan in Turkey sends us scans of the latest, each month features a different character – Chick Hicks this month. Cover says “Piston Cup will be my my friend!” Story 1 “Second, again”, Chick Hicks misses […]

While there are no actual plans for a Lego CARS line (there will be Duplo line in 2010), Jay M. sent along a link to a Mack custom created by “vslcheung.” You can check out the rest of the photos HERE. Very impressive … I can barely build a set WITH instructions …

Okay, I admit I’m not really collecting them but if I had an extra, extra bedroom, I might break down and add them to my list. They are definitely cool though it loos like this will be the last year we will see these blocky fun CARS from Mega as Lego has signed a master […]
