For those who have been looking for a nice display for your Mattel Disney Pixar Piston Cup racers, M2 offers an option that is great on pricing for a solid Acrylic Display Case – though not 100% perfect … The 5-pack sells for around $5.50 so basic pricing is great. But as you can also […]

I guess we are officially out of topics to discuss about CARS 1 … “Buckland Blowouts” sent me a telegram. I was sure they stopped telegraphs in 2006 but that didn’t stop “BB.” Then some Kodachrome’s followed. I even got a diskette with his findings. There exists a Bumper Save variant. And when I say […]

If you can’t find the Mattel oversized-deluxe Dinoco Heli, the Disney store one will be a nice placeholder … Thanks for the nice pic, “Micky.” Though, of course, strictly speaking, the Dinoco Heli should be large enough to fit Mater and presumably Tex, King, Mrs. the King and the Dinoco Crew Chief? Thanks, “Micky.”

Last week, we covered collecting the Desert Art Series 1 & Desert Art Series 1.5 CARS “mint on card.” It’s hard to really even agree what constitutes a complete set – 15? 16? 20? all the way to 48? In late 2006 – Mattel switched design motifs … SUPERCHARGED! And the cardback design sort of […]

The WM 4-packs were a pretty good deal at $10 for 4 “Townies,” but are a really great deal at the clearance pricing people have found for anywhere from $4 to $7. For newbie collectors, they are great as many are hard to find in the classics non-moving eyes versions. This 4-pack is easiest to […]
