Caitlin-FPG seems to have found the first Lenticular CARS in the US! (She’s in the Houston area). The good news is that CHASE Salutin’ Sarge and CHASE Ferrari  F430 have kept their “Race O Rama” motif to complete our collection and ONLY the Lenticular CARS get the new design (see below). Here’s lenticular Sally and […]

Hopefully, this sale at Target is a shelf cleaning one because they want to stock a bunch ‘o new stuff … or at least we can wish it were so. Of course, the Movie Moment “clearance-like” sale price hopefully will mean we will FINALLY get some new Movie Moments … What’s coming-returning for Movie Moments […]

While these revised & “new” Movie Moments seem to have arrived in Canada & parts of Europe, not much inkling they are even about to return to the US … Since there is presumably going to be card redesign as we switch to lenticulars or “drifting,” it might be safe to guess we won’t see […]

Normally as we get to the end of a design motif and the great switchover takes place (Supercharged to World of CARS to Race O Rama), there are a few CARS that get left in the lurch – either shifting to the new motif or short shifted in the shift but in the case of […]

The mainline singles were once simple. Go to store or go online to buy. Then CHASE CARS were added. But they were not all that different – some easy to find and some not so easy to find but basically – go to store or go online to buy. Now it gets complicated because the […]

The lenticulars are coming … and as noted before, I have nothing against lenticular in general or when applied to CARS – I only question the way they are being distributed but some look very nice straight from Mattel’s photo studio. Of course, to no surprise, it’s not easy to photograph them – how is […]

In the SF Bay Area, pricing from the singles range from $2.97 to $3.59 but seem to be pre-emptively creeping up as wholesale costs have gone up for the new lenticular cases … $3.47 as Josh sends in from Oregon … Chuki Mama’s Target is now at $3.49 … though Movie Moments are now $6.99 […]

The new card design. It’s actually a very nice looking card – a nice change of pace and looks classy. Again, I have nothing against the lenticulars either in principle or for CARS, I just think it’s risky on many levels, including financial to roll up one line in the middle with no concrete plans […]

Mattel is NOT discontinuing the 1:55 series single CARS. Canceling CASE J is nothing new. Other than 2006, I do not believe they have gone more than 6 months without canceling a case here or there. Some of that is when there is a change in the group of people who make case assortment decisions, […]

H is the end … The current H Singles Mainline Case is the last one for Series M1054-999 … for 2009 … for non-exclusive non-lenticular CARS. So, the bad news is Vitoline Pitty and Mini will not be available until Kmart CARS Day 2 on June 20, 2009 … and no extra Todd, Pizza Planet […]
