The German Mail-away promo offer didn’t look too terribly interesting – Send in 4 UPC’s for what looked like White Walls Lightning McQueen … But it looks like they didn’t really have a photo of the final promo … it’s actually METALLIC Lightning McQueen with Bumper Stickers. (“Mit Aufklebern” that’s German for “With Sticker.”) Lightning […]

It looks like the last of the 4 “re-release” Toon Box Sets (Walmart Exclusives) have arrived. Thanks for the heads up on noticing they were variants, John In Mo, BMW & JestrJef. That’s another reason not to shop hungry, I snapped the bottom pic in a hurry to go eat lunch – clearly not looking […]

“Mike I.” says hi and sends along photos of his collection … I also have several other customs from Willie that might interest people. I had him create Herbie the Lovebug versions of McQueen, Sally, Mia and Tia. He also created a custom Breast Cancer Awareness Sally, which is a white car with pink ribbon […]

For the launch of CARS in 2006, they produced 4 Radiator Springs Townie Playsets to scale and with maximum cannoncity. Flo’s V8 Cafe, Luigi’s Casa Della Tires, Radiator Springs Curio Shop & Ramone’s House Of Body Art. Now a couple of them had hidden ramps and launchers but for canon collectors, they tucked inside the […]

The new Snot Rod with Flames is rolling out … there is already a variant “flames,” version. This is the opaque one that is more clear at the base of the flame. There is another version where the “clear yellow” version starts at base and extends all the way up. This is the production date […]

The Race Off Ridge Track Set has returned (sort of) … (technically, it’s not out yet but it’s coming). It’s a hodge-podge Frankenstein track set. Yep, 2 years ago, it was called Cliffside Challenge … and apparently, if the construction of it is weak – you call it a feature – ‘breakaway cliff?’ 🙂 It […]

TRU is having a nice sale through Saturday – buy one CARS or PLANES item and get 50% off the second item … it doesn’t have to be the the same type … you get 50% off the cheaper item so you can buy a 2-pack and a single or a track set and a […]

Exterior Box of the D23 Expo Convoy Brothers plus buying instructions is HERE. Unboxed Photos. Closeups of the Convoy Brothers. And now, in comparison – size & scale to other CARS diecasts … Yes, these are not huge RV’s but then RV’s come in all sizes and since it’s not a set with Albert Hinckley, […]
