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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a set of the first 30 Cars all on the desert cardbacks, including singles and Movie Moments. You can see the picture at the bottom of this post. Credit goes to Two a Day for the image and the info.

There were 500 made, and two were given away at San Diego, which means there are 498 left. It has been rumored for a while that Mattel would be putting this set up for sale sometime through their web site. It has now been announced that the remaining sets will go up for sale through HotWheelsCollectors.com on November 27, 2007 at 9 AM PT.

No price has been announced yet, but you can expect anywhere from $149 to $249. Also, the only thing special about this set is the inclusion of Dirt Track McQueen and Rollin’ Bowlin’ Mater on the desert background cards. This will be the first time those Cars appear individually carded on the desert cardbacks, and this set is the only place you can get them for now.

To me, this set is only for completists to get the McQueen and the Mater, or for those collectors that want a really rare collectors item. But if you really want the McQeen and Mater, you could wait and see if someone will break the set and put them on eBay.

Going through the list, I noticed some interesting ones that I thought I would post here.

I am only pointing out the ones that we have not seen individually or available everywhere yet. I have also posted with each one the case designation. They did not list when these would be available other than case A which is out now. Some of these assortments are likely to be canceled or possibly delayed.

Rusty Rust-eze & Dusty Rust-eze – Release A – Nov. 2007 – out now

Dinoco Mia & Tia – Release C – Mia and Tia with Dinoco paint jobs

PT Flea & Flik – Release E – This interesting because I thought we were supposed to see these after Rusty and Dusty, but the first time they show up on the list is case E.

Gasprin & Tow Cap – Release E – These are Piston Cup racers.

Leakless & 123 No Stall – Release F – This is the No Stall that was previously only available in the Dinoco 400 Target exclusive set.

Tumble Weed Lightning McQueen & Doc Hudson – Release G – Tumble Weed McQueen is, I’m guessing, McQueen with tumbleweeds from when he crashes in the desert.

Lightning McQueen & Kori Turbowitz – Release J – Kori Turbowitz has only been available so far as a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Andretti & Patti – Release L – This is Mario Andretti and Patti is his wife?

Race Damage King & Lightning McQueen – Release M – Race damage King sounds interesting, probably from when he crashes in the big race at the end of the movie.

Chick Pitty (aka Bruiser) & Chick Hicks – Release N – The Chick pitty or Bruiser was only previously available as a Wal-Mart exclusive.

Here is the full list that was posted, taking out duplicate entries. I’m assuming all of these will have the World of Cars packaging and not the Supercharged. Packaging completists that have to have one of everything, you can start freaking out now.

Sally & Crusin McQueen
Mike & Sullly
Luigi & Guido
Luigi & Guido & Tractor
Ramone & Flo
Boost & Snot Rod
Red with Stanley
Mr and Mrs The King
Rusty Rust-eze & Dusty Rust-eze
Guidio (Whitewall tires) & Luigi, and Michael Schumacher
Mia & Tia
Tex Dinoco & Dinoco Lightning McQueen
Dinoco Mia & Tia
Fillmore & Sarge
Bob Cutlass & Cartrip
PT Flea & Flick
Gascap & Gasprin
Buzz & Woody
Leakless & 123 No St.
Tumble Weed Lightning McQueen & Doc Hudson
Fillmore & Lightning McQueen (Whitewall)
Lightning McQueen & Kori Turbowitz
Andretti & Patti
Race Damage King & Lightning McQueen
Chick Pitty (aka Bruiser) & Chick Hicks

So are these out at retail anywhere? If they are, then the Flik and P.T. Flea Movie Moments should be out as well, as they are part of the same assortment. Update: it looks like the Flik and P.T. Flea movie moments 2 pack isn’t part of this assortment, so you may have to wait for those.

The price on the Rusty and Dusty 2 pack is only going to climb on eBay. Before you pay the high prices, know that soon they are just as likely to be found at retail, so my advice is to wait. Hopefully, they will start showing up soon and be easier to find than the Mia and Tia and Mr. and Mrs. King Movie Moments. I still have not been able to find those at retail yet.
