Cars "D" Case is Out Now

— December 22nd, 2007

December must be Cars month boys and girls, as we just got word that the Cars D case is out at retail now. This is the second case to arrive this month, after the C case which hit just a few weeks ago. Congratulations to Mattel who seems to really be pumping out the new product before the end of the year. Hopefully, this will continue into 2008!

This time there are only two new Cars included, Pit Crew Guido and Tom Race Official. The good news is that these are supposed to be two per case each. So hopefully, these won’t be too hard to find this time around. Here is the full list of Cars supposed to be in the D case. Next up is the E case which should be out in January!

Cars "C" Case is Out Now

— December 6th, 2007

Mattel has a lot of Cars releases planned for the end of this year/beginning of next year, and it seems they are putting them out in stores pretty fast. With the B case hitting just a few weeks ago, the C case is just now hitting retail as well as eBay.

The C case has no new Cars in it, but these Cars are on the new World of Cars cardbacks. So some of these Cars are appearing on the new cardbacks for the first time, such as the Yeti. The C case also has more of the new Cars that were in the B case, so if you don’t have the Dinoco Helicopter, Fred, Pit Crew Hudson Hornet or Pit Crew Fillmore, more of these will be showing up at retail now. Here is the full list of Cars in the C case.

If you are looking for somewhere to buy Cars by the cases, you may want to check out BigBadToyStore.com. They just announced they have the 2008 Cars cases A, B and C up for pre-order at $69.99 each. That is a good price for cases, but remember shipping is extra. I still think that this is the cheapest price I have seen on a case of Cars.

Cars 2006 Factory Sealed Set

— November 11th, 2007

At San Diego Comic Con this year, Mattel had a drawing for a set of Cars known as the 2006 Factory Sealed Set. 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.

Cars Movie Moments for 2008

— November 8th, 2007

1stopdiecast.com has posted a list of upcoming Cars Movie Moments case assortments for the rest of 2007 and 2008, which are now available for pre-order starting with case A. 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

To get it, you need a code, which is inside the packaging. To redeem it, you visit DisneyMovieRewards.com. Once there, it will ask you if you are a member of Disney Online. If you are not, you need to register. Once registered, you can then enter the code. You can either use the points immediately and order the car, or save up the points to get bigger gifts.
