It’s even nicer than first thought … You get ALL THREE Pitty sizes – Fat, Wide AND Tall plus the Crew Chief + the toolchest & TWO sets of tires. Other than it’s only at Target, it’s like a pie out of the oven with whip cream and ice cream … in other words, I’ll […]

As most of you know, Mattel is switching from the Pit Row Launchers to Lightyear Launchers. Because it’s fun! 🙂 Okay, just kidding. Presumably because the regular launchers cost way more to manufacturer. Not only is there a launcher device but there’s a button that lifts up the flag plus a whole slew of stickers […]

From the great “Aroldo P.” in Italy … Buy 4 CARS (lenticular & old-style mainline) CARS, mail in the appropriate evidence before November 30, 2009 to the Italy address and get a free “mystery” CAR … Logically, it would be Gask-Its but it is being fulfilled at around the same time the US Tach-o-Mint promo […]

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. […]

In one of the first lines we hear in “voice-over” from CARS is … “1 winner, 42 losers, I eat losers for breakfast.” Meaning, of course, there are 42 OTHER racers out there … just as with a typical NASCAR starting grid – 43 cars out there. We were sure of the 36 before the […]

Another mystery CARS item – the 9 Pack Box Set was listed as a Costco item and now has disappeared so: Either there is a 9-pack coming or There is NOT a 9-pack coming It could be coming to Costco in another month or so or … It’s not coming to Costco in another month […]

Who knew getting mail delivery could be such an adventure … John in MO a few days ago … Now it’s MiaSenorita’s turn … All perfectly normal … avalanche stick, check. Home Sweet Home sign that spews acid, check … oh oh, that square aardvark is back … Nope, nothing to see here. Oh, it’s […]

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 […]

The 2010 version of this … Will include a RANSBURG Dragon McQueen… At SDCC, we saw the “Dirty” version which will also see a release but maybe in a box set? Will this drift into your collection? Don’t drift away … Follow me! This is NOT Ransburg …

Thanks to Nathaniel Binns, the Take Five A Day Race Team is not just sitting around eating Tony’s Frozen Corn Dogs or Papa Rivera’s Low Fat Lard. We are now fully staffed are rarin’ to go. As McQueen learned, hard to race without a Pit Crew 🙂 You need a nimble guy … And you need […]
