Thanks for the nice card photos, “Lane Change” and the nice open and comparison photos, “John H.” Hey, a second Cartney CAR … He’s a Fiat repaint. Nice sculpt. Very cute.

Is the Neon Racers strange distribution due to the 2-pack coming to SDCC 2014? The Neon Racers seem to the first flanker brand success for the CARS line in a long time – yet, Target stores seem to have gotten ONE shipment and in most stores, they seem to have sold out – I don’t […]

A few days ago, we asked readers if they had questions about CARS & PLANES. WE have answers! When will the cancelled released released along with the unreleased diecasts?

Thanks for the heads up and photos, “Lane Change.” The new” Streets of Japan 3-pack box set. You get the return of Kaa Reesu, Dragon Lightning McQueen with Oil Stain and Yokoza.
