Gil has surfaced and is breathing! Apparently, Gil is arriving in the same manner as the Mater Tall Tales singles, Storytellers and everything else CARS related in September – a dribble here, a dibble there and some nibbles to and fro … so now you see him here but now you do not see him […]

The Storytellers CARS released last year have returned … in 3-pack form – only online as of right now but it should mean that stores will be getting them any moment now. When will the 2009 NEW Storytellers show up? ? But for now, you can order some of the 2008 re-releases online. It does […]

Heather-Fiddlehead went to check out the new Walmart Opening … humm, crowds smaller than they expected … Maybe the local high school marching band plus some cheerleaders instead of the local historical society? Target wouldn’t put a bulleye on the building if they didn’t want you to shoot at it. If you can’t see it, […]

They have left the premises and are winging their way to you! When last we saw, they were still in their cryogenic sleep mode … Not anymore! Ready for action – and tasty … Plus a surprise! Kevin also made an ‘angel car’ and wants to know if you’re interested, drop him an email. Maybe […]

Unlike the US Disney Stores which do not carry the Mattel diecast CARS – the Disney UK stores do carry a variety of CARS items including the Mater Tall Tales Megasize & Singles … Thanks for the first headsup “Rippers.” Of course UKers really, really appreciate when items are converted directly from $ to £ […]

After you see the next two case assortment – you can relax if you have not seen the MTT singles … plenty to go around. Okay, there’s still a possibilities that the 4 Pitty’s with Torches will really be Nurse Kori … so it’s not 100% guarantee but it’s possible since there is switch in […]

Here is an updated checklist for Mater Tall Tales – Rescue Squad Mater: *The only question is that a Doc Mater is listed as a single which doesn’t quite make sense as all other Mater’s are listed as megasize so … maybe? Unsure but it looks like the other Mater is coming – may not […]

Well, we’re at least getting plenty of the Megasize Mater Tall Tales … CASE B is coming … Thanks for the Cannonball pics, Tony S. And some out of packaging photo from Nikko … Front …
