Oversized Cars Case A and B
— September 18, 2008 3 Comments
If you paid attention to the Cars coverage from San Diego 2008, then you heard about the oversized Cars line. We now have more info on the first assortments in that line. The first 2 cases are A and B. Here is what is in each case.
Case A
Al Oft the Lightyear Blimp (2)
Barney Stormin’ (2)
Lightning Storm McQueen (2)
Case B
Dinoco Helicopter (2)
Mack (cab only) (2)
Marco F/AV-18 Jet (2)
Barney Stormin’, Lightning Storm and Mack are actually not oversized. They are all the same size as their previous releases and are considered in scale. They are different though. Barney will be composed of mostly metal rather than plastic, as is Mack. Lightning Storm will be different than the exclusive, including the paint job, missing top rockets and less bottom rockets.
Al Oft, Marco and the Dinoco Helicopter will all be oversized, meaning they will be bigger in comparison, but not actually in scale. Al Oft and the helicopter are both bigger than their previous releases, but Marco is completely new.
These will come on new, oversized cardbacks and at a higher pricepoint than the regular diecast Cars. Anyone want to venture a guess on what the price will be? Your guess is as good as mine, but I’ll take a stab and say $9.99. We may see these as soon as October.
5.99 at Georgia Wal-mart. Just saw the first ones 2 days ago. Barney Storming, Al Oft, and Lightning Storm McQueen. Today 2 Dinoco Copters and 1 Marco showed up. Dothan, Alabama 231S Walmart had all the endcap ones over a month ago. I beginning to think the distribution center is shipping them by the piece not the case.
They are 5.97 at my local walmarts!
i say 7.99 same as double packs man do they know how to milk this for everything im surprised they dony have green mia and tia yet
