Aroldo Pongetti sends us some snaps of his suggestion for a McQueen Pit Crew Box Set … here’s a shocker, it’s really detailed, and pretty much spot on perfect … like we expect anything less? 🙂 BTW, that gas can – hand made … All of McQueen’s crew – always cheesed off 🙂 Just too […]

The mainline singles CASE F and the Mini’s CASE D have arrived … While CHUCK the car itself is great as usual, his artwork on the front is definitely weird. It’s almost like Pixar sent over the artwork that’s not fully rendered. What makes a 1-dimensional illustration come to life is shading, shadows and details. […]

They are now available on Race O Rama cards … And the cardback which interestingly enough has already appeared on the back of some of the WOC Check Lane cards … Of course, generic across all the CARS to save on coordinating cardbacks … Yes, still an oddball series since most stores don’t seem to […]
