Recently, Mattel revised the Cars case assortments for cases E, F, G, H and J. It was noted that several Cars that were originally scheduled to be included in these assortments are now gone and have been replaced by older Cars. As a result, collectors were left wondering what will happen to these missing Cars.
Two a Day speculated that Mattel is planning another Wal-Mart exclusive assortment for 2008. They make a good case, after all we know that Mattel already has the mold for Richard Clayton Kensington. They have already produced one for the charity auction that happened last year. It could be that Mattel is holding these Cars back for release as Wal-Mart exclusives.
So when will we know what the future holds for Cars collectors? Toy Fair is right around the corner, in New York on February 17-20, 2008. I’m guessing we will find out at Toy Fair what Mattel has planned for these missing Cars, as well as the rest of 2008.
Here is the list of Cars that were removed from these upcoming assortments.
- Chief Trunk Fresh
- Dinoco Crew Chief
- Marco Super FAV18 (Jet)
- Octane Gain Crew Chief
- Pit Crew Sarge
- Richard Clayton Kensington (Security Van)
