As the evidence is rolling in, it does NOT look good for the Motor Speedway of the South diecast CARS. They are definitely going south … the sad, the bad and the ugly. At first, it was thought it was just the Apple CAR – that it was a bad batch of white pigment/paint (see […]

CollectorMom & Family – Welcome back to the USA! They’re on their way – everything important is packed and ready to go. 🙂 Long time collectors would know that box from anywhere. But for newer collectors … It’s the near mythical Motor Speedway of the South box. The first unboxing post – back in the […]

Updated Piston Cup Re-release checklist … Right click or drag off for full size …

Well, not exactly new – new … These have landed in France and I imagine we will see these before year’s end … while Damaged King is not necessarily easy to find, that other fella might be easier 🙂 Thanks for the pics, David V.

There are more MINI “6-packs” coming. The Target.com does have some listed online but the only NEW one listed is the Hot Rod 6-pack … For those collecting all along, these are all repeats – except that some of these are available for the first time outside of the Target holiday or other MINI exclusives.

More ONLY AT TARGET shopping … the Piston Cup Racer 4-packs will now be a Target exclusive … so maybe it’s likely they will re-use the current 4-pack box? And yes, now that they are calling him Spare O Mint, I’ll list him as such … Yet another Rev ‘n Go 🙂 Maybe they will […]

Nitroade Hauler is back in black … Basic black and nitro flames, never out of style … It burns baby, it burns … The Nitroade Team … A hauler’s life is a hard one – Pack it up and tear it down, they’re the first to come and the last to leave … Working for […]

The rumor is that these are going exclusive and it looks like Target. So, what’s next? So based on the photo from Comic Con … we can guess that Tow Cap & Tach-o-Mint will if not in CASE E, then be available very soon after – probably not until the real 2010 … note, the […]

Okay, it seems to be some exhibit of Disney Pixar CARS but it pretty much looks like the Aroldo Pongetti personal custom collection of 400 CARS he created in his spare time … even his family is amazed 🙂 Enjoy the slideshow!
