Yes, the Launcher CASE that Mattel skipped is shipping this week though some cases have already arrived at some Target stores … Jason T. was kind enough to send along photos of his hunt earlier – from Target – oddly, he found an international carded one mixed in … Thanks Jason T. – enjoy being […]

For eagle-eye observers of CARS, the film – may have noticed that RPM’s Crew Chief doesn’t get much Sun … Why isn’t he wearing the proper coat of yellow? Allergic reaction? They just switched colors and he was just too busy? The regular crew chief had an internal combustion problem so the assistant took over? […]

As noted earlier, Pit Row launchers are going to exclusive status and now we know where … When? Unknown. Maybe this Autumn? Same as Movie Moments?
