Coming this Fall, there will be more box sets although this time they will be exclusive to Target. Get ready for the Crew Chiefs and Pittys Box Sets. Each box set will come with 1 crew chief and 2 pittys. There are 3 box sets to start, Chick Hicks, Leak Less and Dinoco.
Leak Less Crew Chief, Earl Filter, was previously released as part of a 3 pack, but this is the first release of Dinoco and Chick Hicks Crew Chief. Both were previewed early last year during Toy Fair 2008. Why did they wait so long to release these? Who knows, so be glad we are finally getting them. Hopefully, both Pittys won’t be identical within each set.
By the way, what is with the Target exclusives this Fall? They have the Final Lap Cars, the Haulers box sets, Movie Moments, these 3 packs and also the story tellers. That’s quite a bit of Target exclusive Cars, wouldn’t you say?
Will the crew chiefs EVER be a single or single megasize? I hope so. I don’t want to buy the crew chiefs w/ duplicate pittys. I think Chief Chick is cool, but hate chick pitties w/ moustache. I also hope the chick pitties will come out with no moustache.
Chick pittys without mustaches wouldn’t be Chick pittys! They only lose them when Guido performs his record-setting tire changes!
The sad thing about all of the Target exclusives is they never carry enough inventory to go around. If your not lucky enough to be there when they first hit the shelves, you almost never get them in the stores. I always have to buy most of my Target exclusive Cars toys on eBay at inflated prices because the collectors go in and horde all of them. I just really don’t understand why any of these toys have to go to one particular retailer anyway.
sounds like a whiner to me. I have thousands of those stupid team haulers at my target. Let me know if you want some. I’ll send them to you
Well for the most part, Cars exclusives are not exclusive for very long. Many of the Speedway of the South or San Diego Comic Con cars have come out in other sets in one form or another, so if you don’t get a Target exclusive there is a good chance that 1 new car in that set will show up later in something else.
You can call it whining if you like, but I’m just stating the facts. It may not be the case where you live but I’ve seen it happen all to often here.
go to the cars forum at carsthetoys.yuku.com theres a great forum of people who will help you and dont overinflate like ebay.
