Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” Tokyo Mater Toon singles return as a Walmart only item. Manji as this new single is the 2013 variant version – he has BROWN EYES as with the recent 3-pack. His first release featured him with blue eyes. John H. says the others all most appear to be […]

The kissing couple on the bridge are named after Pixar founder John Lasseter & his wife, Nancy. Thanks for the nice photo of the EU package, “David V!” Perhaps this will arrive in the next US Movie Moment box – as of now, unknown when the next case is coming. “John H.” sends us his […]

Hank Hallsum, presumably one of the rarest production CARS diecast will fall off that list with its new re-release in a Radiator Springs Classics 3-pack. Hank is NOT a variant. He looks essentially the same along with the same re-releases of Waitress Mia & Tia. As with most of the pickup releases, the front mouthpiece […]

It’s been a while since this checklist has been updated – of course from 2011 to 2012, there were hardly any real changes to the CARS 1 diecast checklist. But in 2013, there were a slew of releases and some surprising “upgrades,” (aka: variants) so it’s time to finally update this checklist. The chart is […]

Well, if it’s not the next Toon, “Radiator Springs 500” is the next Toon with diecast releases – it’s own line extension. This is not actually artwork from Radiator Springs 500 but from the Art of CARS … Here’s the brief description: “Iconic race locations with Lightning McQueen and other off-road racers.” And of course, […]

The Kmart promo mailaway of course ended on a strange note. While all early mailers got a nice email it was received and then another email that it was on its way, the redemptions sent in towards the end was met with stony silence for a few weeks – leaving everyone to question what was […]

Not surprisingly, Mattel is still clearing the warehouses… Thanks for the nice photos, “Moe,” at his neighborhood Big Lots Discounters … (seems like a price lower than eBay?) You can also pick up some Gyro Speeders (not edible!) Thanks Moe!
