Current rumors on the web are that Cars Movie Moments are going to be a retailer exclusive and that the retailer in question will be Target. Has this been confirmed or am I missing something?
New Movie Moments have been hard to find this year. But as far as I know, there has been no official word that the line is cancelled. In fact, Mattel debuted several Cars at Toy Fair this year that were listed as being Movie Moments. So it seems that Mattel clearly had plans for this line. It would seem that only Mattel knows and they aren’t saying anything yet.
Any readers out there that have any solid information on this?

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a post about Cars Movie Moments. And while it seems they are very scarce at retail right now, retailers still have Movie Moments cases listed as being for sale. So rest assured, they are still coming.
However, the news is not all good. Going through these listings there are only 4 2 packs with any new Cars in them. They are Tumble Weed Lightning McQueen & Doc Hudson, Fillmore & Whitewall Lightning McQueen, Mario Andretti & Patti and Race Damage King & Lightning McQueen.
We have seen Tumble Weed Mcqueen, Patti and Race Damage King along with the corrected red rims version of Mario Andretti at Toy Fair 2008, and I assume that is the same version of Andretti we will be getting here.
Here is the most current list of Movie Moments by case.

Movie Moments 2 pack Gasprin and Tow Cap are out now. This means they should be showing up soon at a retailer near you. Gasprin and Tow Cap are Piston Cup racers (see the picture below). They are part of Movie Moments case E. Gasprin and Tow Cap are the only new Cars in case E, but they are 2 per case supposedly, which means they should be easier to find, in theory.
Here is the full assortment of Movie Moments case E.
Here is an image of the Gasprin & Tow Cap 2 pack.

Dinoco Mia & Tia are now starting to show up on eBay, along with Movie Moments case C, which means these are now in the US. As far as I know, they are not showing up at retail yet, but be on the lookout. They should show up at retail in a few weeks.
As far as I know, Dinoco Mia and Tia are the only new Cars in Movie Moments case C. But they are 2 per case, and there are some other 2 packs included that have been previously hard to find. Here is the list of what’s included in Movie Moments case C.
Here is an image of the Dinoco Mia & Tia 2 pack.

If you have been wondering what happened to the Flik & P.T. Flea Movie Moments 2 pack, we may have an answer for you. Flik & P.T. Flea have been showing up on eBay outside the US for weeks now, but none have made it to the US yet. I haven’t heard a reason why this is taking so long to show up over here. As a result, prices remain high as they are only available outside the US so far.
That may be changing however. There is currently an eBay seller in California that has one up for auction. Does this mean we will start seeing more Flik and P.T. Flea at stores in the US soon? We can only wait and see.
