Our Wal-mart in Albany is still putting out new boxes of 2007 limited Wal-mart releases. Stocked up on 2 Charlie Pace Cars w/red tail lights yesterday. Plus bought Kori for my nephew in Houston.

I have Barney Stormin (Regular), Bruiser, Kori, Cactus mcqueen and ghostlight rmone. Went to a flea market one day, saw bruiser for $6! A offer I couldn’t refuse.

The Target haulers are pretty nice, but not worth the extra $$$. I’m kind of tired of Mattel releasing the same car in various packaging, I have noticed that a number of cars are released the following way;
1) Motor Speedway of the South Exclusive
2) Retailer Exclusive gift pack
3) Mail away exclusive
4) Three car gift pack
5) Launcher
6) Single card
7) Countless repaints
Now I know not all cars are released this way, some skip a few steps, but even though I think these are the best toys on the market and I will keep buying them, I am getting tired of paying big bucks for a car that may eventually be available on a single card. So for the time being I guess I have to keep my receipts and return my oversized Mack when I find the Mack Hauler, after all there is no point of owning both.

Sorry for the double comment — just saw all three individual haulers are available for $13.99 on the Toys R Us website. Good luck!

I have seen the plain haulers at Target and Walmart – just today in fact. They aren’t flying off the shelves here. I actually bought all three team sets first, then found the individuals, and bought those too. I’m taking the team sets back, as I already have the racers and pitty’s in them.

Also found lots of new cars at TRU and Walmart today – including Night Vision McQueen with the collector book.

The 3 haulers were are Wal-mart today for $13.77 each. Wal-mart also had Night vision McQueen at $6.49. So I guess Cars Toys Blog will be at Wal-mart today.

To show you how my Wal-mart works I also found the Wal-mart exclusive (small size)Barney Stormin from Christmas 07; no telling what’s in the stockroom.

I was never able to get find Bruiser in the Wal-marts in our area and hunted him for ages in 2007. ( I refuse to get him on ebay or amazon, since the search is half the fun.)

I think Bruiser Bukowski came out in Fall of 2007. So, many got it then, and I don’t think it has been re-released.

Yeah, I have all the racers and the pittys, so I don’t need the Target exclusives either. I would just like to find the haulers by themselves.
