TRU seems to have gotten a new case of Radiator Springs Classic but sales seems to have slowed down quite a bit. Was this a one-shot deal to see how sales might go? Will there be more next year? The 3-pack box sets seem to have sold okay but not not very rapidly. The 10-pack […]

Every once in a while, there’s a 2-pack/Movie Moment Case where it might be easier just to buy the case. CASE E The weakest “2-pack” in this case is probably Lightning with Rust-eze Sign & Fred though some collectors might not have seen Fred in a while and of course, the sign is new. Doug […]

If you’re lucky, there is an unprecedented amount of CARS diecast singles floating around – retailers are still receiving/moving from distribution and opening cases H, M, N, P, Q & R cases which contain CHASES, SUPER CHASES and beloved sought after releases. It is or can be a bounty of CARS …I don’t believe there […]

“John H.” sends along great pics of the Walmart Tokyo Mater Box Set which contains two variants, one of which is actually a brand new release. It was easy to lose track of all the variants and versions of Tokyo Mater especially since this version was shown off many times but after all was said […]

There are 4 diecasts available to purchase at my Target … this Francesco & Sarge escaped the clutches of the CARS aisle (with PLANES in the small kids aisle) but alas, only made it as far as the Hot Wheels/”boys” aisle a few aisles over … No, I will not buy you those, put them […]

Coming soon to a retail store near you – probably around the time the PLANES DVD is coming out? Probably November? Comes with 48 PLANES and 12 CARS. Presumably it will be more than just Dusty & McQueen but you never know. 🙂

CASE CONTENTS REVISED – New Case assortment HERE! When several cases were “canceled” and things shuffled around – they did create ONE Super Nice Double Chase Case – N (read about it here) which essentially combined elements of J, K, L & N so they had parts left over which now goes into the “Franken” […]

If you missed out on Barry Diesel in 2011, Children’s Toy Closet was able to uncover some in a warehouse … More photos in this post. He’s a BIG BOY – next to the Convoy Brothers … He’s the Andre the Giant of CARS … though he weighs the same as Convoy Brothers G-Man (Barry’s […]

While CASE J (and its TWIN CASE K) were canceled and essentially merged into CASE N – CASE J did make it to Australia … “Daven N.” was at the store in Australia when they opened the case for him. Brent Mustangberger with headset x1 David Hobbscapp with head set x1 Lightning Mcqueen with racing […]
