Is that the right Italian phrase? The (plastic) scarf looks especially nice – hopefully it’s not just a spiffed up prototype. The bad news? I think it comes the Italian 5-pack – Toys R Us exclusive … As you know, the TRU 5-packs are not exactly barn burners as the pattern has been 4 repeats […]

The “metallic” Jeff Gorvette has arrived – TRU exclusive … Unlike in Europe where’s it’s a “free” CAR with minimum purchase during the promo period, here in the US, you can buy it now for $6.99. And probably during the Labor Day sale period, they will again offer it again free with $25 CARS 2 […]

Mariela found the latest Toys R Us 5-pack. There is definitely one new CAR, the others look suspiciously like they’ve been released … I guess it’d be expecting too much for an actual working LCD … Thanks for the nice pics, Mariela. Will you chase after London Chase or will you remain chaste?

The European deal has finally arrived in the US … Buy $25 of CARS 2 products, get a free metallic paint Lightning McQueen. It seems video games, board games & DVD’s also qualify. Next up is metallic paint Jeff Gorvette – hard to tell exactly when but it’s end of July in Europe so it […]

“Dolly” sends us the news us the newspaper ad for TRU Germany (and Austria?) – the offer of a free Metallic paint Lightning McQueen with purchase of 35€ of CARS 2 stuff … you think they could’ve found one non RED Lightning McQueen product to feature in this VERY RED page. BTW, this is what […]

In addition to everything else, there are 5-packs that are TRU exclusives. While the 3-packs and Target racing 4-packs do not seem to contain any exclusives not available in another format, the same cannot be said about the 5-packs. Each box contains one exclusive CAR FOR NOW. There are additional TRU 7-packs that are only […]

Color changers will be changing into CARS 2 … From our recent survey when asked what you thought about Color Changers for CARS 2 … 4% of you said LOVE IT … and with the maybe’s – 20% are interested … good news for you – color changers are now and forever … well, at […]

“K (Carkiya)” was nice enough to send us pics of his kid’s TRU exclusive Wooden CARS … Very nice … not a lot of other properties where you can build two Mattel versions (1:55 & mini adventures) of Radiator Springs along with a Disney Store version, a GeoTrax version and now a wood version (plus […]
