I found this at Wal-Mart on a huge display. It will now make a perfect easter basket stuffer. The Cars items fly off the shelves in Wisconsin.
I agree, although remember, retailers have to buy them from Mattel first. So if anything both parties are at fault here.
This was a unique item that doesn’t fit with the normal diecast on the pegs. It needs to have its own location and it doesn’t really fit anywhere unless they tried to fit it in with the oversized or in a special display. It also has a higher price point than the diecast or oversized line.
This may end up being one of those items that can only be found online. In that case, Mattel may not do another one, or they may try something different next year. The best option would probably be a retailer exclusive.
Somebody messed up with these, this is the perfect Christmas gift and here we are 3 weeks from Christmas and you can only find them at a few online stores or Ebay
Are they showing up near the other cars, or in the books section?
See this post for more details.

Most smaller toy stores have them right now. And they sell for about 10 – 11 dollars.
Where is this available? And do you know how much it costs?
