Sweet 1980’s design motif  … Thanks, “Mark T.” for the heads up and great photos. Updated Piston Cup Racer Names Checklist. Gray bar means it’s unlikely we’ll get a “retro” CARS 1 race ar to fill in that gap but you never know. Black is definitely a closed deal.

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the great photos and heads up. Taco, the Demo Derby wrecker is back with the eyelid line but also lot of other minor “tweaks.” With any “dirty” CAR, there’s bound to be production differences but the dirt pattern is different in most places – even the mouth looks different … The […]

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the nice photos. “Racing Start Luigi” is new with a new facial-eye expression plus a green flag. Flag is not removable (though if you have a 2-year handy, I’ll bet they can pull it right out.  🙂  ). Guido is pretty much the same look as he is now. CARS 3 […]

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the great photos. Harumi from CARS 2 returns … slighter less red … Old rims (left), new rims on right. Windows lighter and back windows. Mirrors at diff angle. The side by side view shows a different body (back window angles higher than old version). The door side tampo decal seems […]

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the nice photos and heads up. Eyelid line and eye position … from 2019, already updated.

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the great photos. Another fun “dream” Racing Tractor, Easy Idle. Nice paint scheme.

Thanks “Mark T.” for the great photos. There is a new subline within the Mainline in 2021 … “Racing Red” and its first release, Mater … As nice as the “metallic” blue Brand New Mater … maybe we’ll get all the colors of the rainbow? 5 more in the series?

While IRL, it was a terrible, horrible, no good very bad annum … in CARS Diecast World, 2020 was another nice autumn drive with Sally … While we may not have gotten the most new releases, the update to the eyelid line (and usually an upgrade to a unibody) created a new standard of release, that the current […]

Thanks, “Samuel K.” for the nice photos. The 11-pack from Vietnam, as usual has a different eye position and eyebrow look … Piston Cup Racer 11-Pack (Vietnam). Collect ’em all!

Okay, that might not work so great as a Christmas song but as a diecast, all spiffy and shiny, the 2021 version. Thanks, “Mark T.” for the great photos. The 2021 re-release is very shiny, not called metallic but essentially “metallic.” It’s also a unibody. Compared to previous (on right) release. The rims are slightly […]
