i found rocky and eddie much to my surprise at our local target and lightening mcqueen. all for $5 as you said… so the $30 does seem way overpriced. thanks again.

At Target today I found single pack stocking stuffers in the Christmas candy aisle at $4.99 each. Lightning, Mater, Doc, and the King. I didn’t spot any variations.

thanks so much for your advice. it’s ben so long and my little guy just loves playing “da gum” all the time. Seems a lot more expensive that i remember other 4 packs being… i would happily buy the singles…if they were anywhere to be found.

Actually, Rocky and Eddie are being sold in a 2 pack together. So if we say Mater is Mega Size at $8, the Toys R Us price, this is $18 tops. This is a total rip off for $30.

I have found the 4 pack at Target in Tennessee, and for $30, it is not worth it.

Here you are getting 2 Cars and 2 pittys for $30. Those are normally $5 for each single and 2 pittys. So that would come to $15, half the price.

These pittys are the new large size, so even if you paid for the pittys as singles, you are looking at $20. And if we say Mater is a mega size, it would be $23, at most if you pay $8 for him, which is high.

Any way you cut it, $30 is way overpriced. So wait for it to go on clearance, or buy the singles.

Hi I’ve been desperately looking for this 4 pack since October. Has anyone found these packs on the west coast or in the Los Angeles area? I’ve called where all my relatives lived and even in Hanover (they said they couldn’t ship it.) Would appreciate any help on where to get this and not on ebay which is charging way too much. with thanks!

Really slow in Southwest Georgia. Target still doesn’t have the new Christmas 5 pack so my daughter picked one up for me in St. Augustine. Did find “Chase” Mater with new hood yesterday at Wal-mart. Not one Chuy in my area yet, I gave the one I found in Valdosta last month to the grandsons.

I have to head up Cub Scout resident camp for 5 days starting on Friday so tomorrow is my last chance before Christmas at Target for anything new. Our truck comes on M-W-F. Maybe on the trip to St. Augustine for Christmas I’ll be lucky in all my stops along the way (6); no I’m not compulsive.
