Mater Saves Christmas 3 Pack

This 3 pack contains Holiday Hotshot Lightning McQueen, Whee-Hoo Winter Mater and Santa Car. It is $19.99. I have seen it at both Toys R Us stores in my area. You can also buy it at the Toys R Us website here.

The McQueen with snow tires seen online has not made it out yet, and the hope is that there are more holiday Cars to come, probably exclusive to Target, same as last year.

So what will we get this year, if anything? I’m not sure, but if you were watching eBay, you may have seen this gem on there recently…

Mater Saves Christmas Santa Car

Yep, it’s Santa Car! I don’t have any other details, but hopefully Santa will bring us Santa Car for Christmas 2010.

Target Speedway 9 Pack

Target has a new exclusive Cars set called the Speedway 9 Pack. That’s right, there are 9 Cars in this set, and it looks like they are not lenticular.

There are 5 racers, McQueen, King, Chick, Sidewall Shine and Clutch Aid. There are also 4 new non-lenticular version of Dash Boardman, Houser Boon, Tim Rimmer and Timothy Twostroke. I don’t think any of these 4 have been released in Final Lap yet.

As I have not seen these yet, I’m not sure on the retail price. But with the holiday season coming soon, expect to see them at a Target near you.

There will be 24 Cars in every case. 8 of these, which we have already mentioned, will be Piston Cup racers with the rubber tires. The rest will be lenticulars, including a chase Car. Here is the full list.

Painted Masked Lightning McQueen (Chase) — 1
Race Tow Truck (Tow) — 1 (First time with lenticular eyes!)
#54 Faux Wheel Drive — 3
#74 Sidewall Shine — 2
#82 Shiny Wax — 2
#28 Nitroade — 2
#80 Gask-its — 3
#39 View Zeen — 2
#101 Tach-o-mint — 2
#36 Tank Coat — 2
Kathy Copter — 1
Pit Crew Sarge — 1
Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen — 1
Dash Boardman — 1

Here are all the details I have right now. It seems they have leaked because the Kmart Cars are showing up overseas. The next Kmart Cars Collector Day is on October 23rd, 2010. Kmart will continue to sell the rubber tire Piston Cup racers with one lenticular Chase Car. Here is the list.

Final Lap Flo with Tray Carded

Flo with Tray is from the Flo’s V8 Cafe scene at the end of the Cars movie. This same car is a part of the new Flo’s V8 Cafe 5 pack with Hank Hallsum at Toys R Us now. There is also a lenticular 3 pack version and a single carded version.

Final Lap Flo with Tray is #148. Flo is showing up at Targets in the US now. Click here to search for Flo with Tray on eBay.

Final Lap Artie Carded

Artie looks a lot like, could it be, Snot Rod maybe? More reuse. Something we will continue to see as Mattel finishes up the line.

Artie is #149. Here is Artie’s bio from the Pixar Wiki.

Artie started covering local sporting events back in Wilmington, Delaware, but caught the attention of Racing Sports Network executives with his ability to not just cover the race, but the story of the race as well. Artie likes to say, “If there’s a story out there, I’m just trying to cover it.

Good news, Final Lap Artie is part of the most recent series which is showing up at Targets in the US now. Click here to search for Artie on eBay.

Final Lap Bert Carded

Notice the reuse here. Final Lap Bert appears to have the same sculpt as Final Lap Marty.

Bert is #147. Here is Bert’s bio from the Pixar Wiki.

Someday, when Bert finds a gallery that understands his abstract motion-blur photography, he’ll be recognized as the true artist he really is. In the meantime though, it’s his job as paparazzo that pays the bills. And yes paparazzo is the singular use for paparazzi, and yes it means oversize mosquito in Italian.

Good news, Final Lap Bert is part of the most recent series which is showing up at Targets in the US now. Click here to search for Bert on eBay.

Matthew "True Blue" McCrew Carded

Matthew is #153. Here is Matthew’s bio from the Pixar Wiki.

Mathew “True Blue” McCrew has been a King fan from the first time he came off the production line. In fact, everything in Mathew’s house is painted King Blue, including the light bulbs. Because for Mathew, being a King fan isn’t reserved for race day, it’s a way of life.

Final Lap Matthew is only out overseas now, but hopefully will be in the US shortly. Click here to search for this on eBay.

Final Lap Marty Carded

Marty is #151. Here is Marty’s bio from the Pixar Wiki.

Marty doesn’t feel alive unless he’s got something to worry about. Whether it’s his receding tire treads, politics, the teenagers next door, fossil fuel running out one day, or the general state of the world, Marty is only truly happy when he’s miserable.

Final Lap Marty is only out overseas but presumably will be in the US shortly. Click here to search for this on eBay.
