A few months ago, a listing for Flo’s V8 Cafe popped up for around $35 – it seemed likely it was the return of the fabled Flo’s V8 Cafe playset from 2006-2007, It looked good because it was listed near the CARS 1 diecasts coming (back) to Toys R Us later this year but without […]

The metallic versions of Francesco & Miguel Camino have shown up in Europe … regular purchase at TRU Germany – €7.49 or about $9.42 USD. Thanks for the nice pics, “Christina P.”! When will these show up in the US? It seems more likely TRU will simply offer them at $7.99 or $8.99 versus the […]

The mystery direction of the Toys R Us exclusive 3-packs look to be pointed in another direction … When last we heard, the 3-packs from CARS 2 was moved under the TRU exclusive heading. So, naturally, the question was whether the latest listed 3-packs would ever make it out but some new actions/in-actions have change […]

3-Packs are listed as Toys R Us only item now … will we still get the next 3-packs as last listed or will they be different? It seems the 3-packs are scheduled for around Christmas time so in theory, all the deluxe (oversized) in each package will be out by then so the 3-packs may […]

Add another metallic Toys R Us exclusive to the list … When will Miguel be out? He can’t come out out just right now … (Okay, actually Spain riots – via Epi.org).

Yesterday, we listed the CARS 1 diecast CARS returning to Toys R Us this Christmas. It looks like Flo’s V8 Cafe might make it back to Toys R Us as an exclusive? There is a listing called Flo’s for $35 … which sounds about right adjusted for inflation … Again, don’t bet the farm or […]

The metallic series that started with Lightning, Jeff Gorvette & Nigel Gearsley will continue … well, at least two more … Raoul Caroule & Francesco Bernoulli … Most likely it will be available at TRU only and Toys R Us might use it an incentive in a future promotion. Or simply sell it for twice […]

The DVD Blu Ray 2-disc or 5-disc set at TRU includes a bonus disc of Lego CARS 2 shorts. Since all the announced was Lego disc, it was hard to tell what’s what on them but thanks to “slicepie” who took some screensnaps so now we know. Lego has clearly been busy making CARS shorts […]

Toys“R”Us, Inc. unveiled their holiday “key initiatives” at a special preview event in New York City with retail industry reporters (our invite was apparently lost in the internet tubes). Basically, they are going to pile on with exclusives this Christmas (not many new CARS stuff BTW) and in addition to Buy Online, Pick up in […]
