New Haulers are showing up quite a bit before the end of the year. Sidewall Shine and Mood Springs are starting to show up at retail.
And that’s it for 2009. I’ll be posting the Best of 2009 poll results this weekend. See you next year!
Final Lap Case C, Pit Crew Sarge, Muddy McQueen and Costanzo Out Now
More and more Final Lap Cars are starting to show up, and we have made it to case C right before year end. New Cars in case C are Pit Crew Sarge, Muddy McQueen and Costanzo Della Corsa. Pit Crew Sarge is another one of those Cars promised a long time ago. His production was delayed by the lead paint recall Sarge of course. Muddy McQueen and Costanzo Della Corsa have also been promised for a long time, having first been seen at Comic Con 2008.
Anyway, case C should be showing up at a Target near you, real soon. Here are some pics.
Lenticular Case B, Chase Ransburg DJ Out Now
Chase DJ
I need to get a few posts in before the end of the year, so here goes. You may have noticed that new Lenticulars are showing up. I have no idea which Cars are in this wave, except for the Chase Ransburg DJ that is showing up with case B. He’s shiny. And a Chase. So you want him.
Top Exclusives of 2009
This poll is for the top exclusives of 2009. I may put up one more poll after this one for the haulers and then that will be it. Voting is open the rest of the week. I will do a results post at the beginning of the year. I forgot to mention you can vote on any of these polls as many times as you like.
Mater the Greater 4 Packs Will Soon be Here
The Rescue Squad Mater singles and box sets have been out for a few months. For some reason, we have only seen a slow trickle of Cars from the following short, Mater the Greater. So far only the Pitties, Lug and Nutty, Cannonball Mater and High Dive Mater have been seen at retail.
Well, the Mater the Greater box sets are right around the corner. There are 2 box sets, just like Rescue Squad Mater. Box set 1 has Mater the Greater (clean), Lug and Nutty and High Dive Mater. Box set 2 has Daredevil Lightning McQueen with Teeth, Lug, Props McGee and Mater the Aviator.

These are not all the Cars that are planned, so hopefully we will see the singles soon.
Target Story Tellers Bubba is Finally Here
Bubba
The new Target Story Tellers, Mater’s Cousins and the Motorama Showgirls, have been out for weeks now. If you haven’t seen them yet, be patient. You will soon have the chance to get both sets at once. While they were available individually at first, they are now available in 3 packs, with a 3 pack of Mater’s Cousins and a 3 pack of the Showgirls.
The big news here though, is the appearance of Bubba! Bubba finally makes his debut with the new Story Teller 3 packs. Bubba is so large that he is not in a 3 pack however, but instead he only comes with Brand New Mater.
New Final Lap Antonio Veloce Eccellente and Dexter Hoover
New Final Lap Cars are now showing up at Targets across the US. The only 2 new Cars in this assortment are Antonio Veloce Eccellente and Dexter Hoover with checker flag. Dexter Hoover saw a previous release under the World of Cars desert background, but that version had a yellow flag. This is the version with the checkered flag. Here are pictures of these 2 Cars.
