Not really canon but looks like fun for kids – comes with 4 plastic CARS so you can keep your diecasts nice & pristine. 🙂   Available at Amazon.

Thanks for the great pics “John H.” It’s weird to see Todd all clean, he’s been beat up since Toy Story – 1995 (can you believe it?) and at that time, he was already a 17 year old pickup truck (presumed to be a Toyota HiLux pickup from 1978) …   Thanks, “John H.” for […]

Toys R Us is having another sale but your choice is pretty one choice … Ian W. notes they are still shipping both versions. And “Toomsterev” got his Amazon shipment obviously packed at 4:58 PM Friday night.

Thanks for the heads up, “John H.” He started the ball rolling by sending me a few pics so I took a closer look. It looks like a safe bet that most of the early production ones – in CASE A, B, and maybe Target F were with a smaller Mattel logo (Rust-eze racing Lightning […]

And the international card matches the US card, no mention of Super Chase. It […]

When the CARS Advent calendar was first announced, it could’ve been some cheap thing with paper cutouts of things like temporary tattoos but it turns out it’s cute and quite nice – adult collectors will want their own. 🙂 It comes with 5 Mini’s – presumably all of these will be out by Christmas time?
