If you look closely at the “official” photo of Silver Metallic Lightning McQueen on Kmart’s website, you’ll notice it’s DIFFERENT from the final release – the one in the case is essentially the exact same CARS 1 Lightning McQueen with the Rusteze logo on the back spoiler we all know and love, the only exception […]

Since the Tuners with Flames has gone over so well, Mattel decided to ignite ’em all … Well, maybe not all but we are definitely getting Nigel Gearsley with Flame and Carla Veloso with Flames in 2014 …. Will the others get the IT BURNS addition? El Fuego Miguel. Shu 燃えて. Shu on Fire. Will […]

Do you feel lucky, well do you ****? Now, most ecommerce don’t operate by the Dirty Harry principle of customer service but we are taking about Kmart here … Okay, these are listed as “out of stock” – undoubtedly listed because Mattel promised one more 2-pack shipment but it never made it out to US […]

This (presumably) first to market Metallic Rip Clutchgoneski has arrived or will arrive at your local Kmart stores this Saturday at 9 AM. No Kmart snipe – will he return in the Themes: 2014 WOC card? Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” Will the gold Meallic Rip match the gold-like pricing of regular Rip? […]

Waiter Mater is out and it’s pretty darn cute. Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” BTW, Case G does not have 2 Waiter Mater’s but only ONE Dracula Mater (instead of 2 originally listed). That’s funny right there. The back & other side look like every other Mater. Now, the Wheel Well dining scene […]

Kmart CARS Day #10 has an extra component this time – Buy 5 CARS, get two free Deluxe CARS (Muggsy Liftsome & Green John Lassetire). Of course, when you get Kmart involved, it’s as complicated as can be. First, the simple part, Kmart will get a special case of CARS. See below for the entire […]

“John H.” sends along nice photos of Mildred Bylane, one of the last diecasts promised in the Final Lap series that never arrived – but 3 years late is not past her prime. Solid metal. Don’t crash into her, it’d be like brushing up against a battleship. Not only enough room to carry a spare […]

The Super Chase CARS of 2014 are … ta-da … The Mack one will be an Deluxe Super Chase … I guess the white pickup clown will fit on the regular card? It looks like Super Chases arrive in late Spring/Summer so look for them in 6-7 months? Any CARS diecast quitters back in? 🙂

On the list to return in 2014 … Frankly, some people will give a D*** (Darn) … When? Unknown. Will it look like the last release? Unknown. There are some possible variant/versions possible – clean (no dirt), crazed eyes (chasing other CARS) or happy (dream sequence) or the lazy release – this one. I’m presuming […]
