Mega Size Case N Richard Clayton Kensington Out Now

Disney Cars Mega Size case N is showing up at retail stores now. The only new Car in case N is the long awaited Richard Clayton Kensington Security SUV. Richard Clayton Kensington was rumored to be coming as far back as early 2008. The mold has existed since then as we have the pictures. Who knows why it has taken this long.

Mater’s Tall Tales: Unidentified Flying Mater

Unidentified Flying Mater

Unidentified Flying Mater

The next “toon” in the Mater’s Tall Tales series Unidentified Flying Mater aired last night on Disney XD, and I missed it. Hopefully, you didn’t. But good news, it’s coming on again!

I live in the Eastern time zone, so your time may be different, but Comcast says it will air here at 6:56 PM on Wednesday, November 25th on Disney XD and again at 8:56 PM. The guide at that time shows Spy Kids, so it looks like it will air at the end of that movie.

If you miss those times it will air again on Tuesday Dec. 1st at 6:56 PM on Disney XD.

Here is the description: “Mater’s UFO friend is captured by the military.”

So has anyone seen it yet? How was it? Rest assured there are diecast coming. Hopefully, we’ll see some images early next year.

Look My Eyes Change Case E, Chase Darrell Cartrip Out Now

New look my eyes change Cars are out with a packaging change. These are not Final Lap Cars, but they have the new nighttime skyline packaging. The chase Car is Darrell Cartrip with a silver Ransburg paintjob. I believe these are showing up at Walmart first.

Mater's Tall Tales 2 – Heavy Metal Mater and Other Tall Tales

Mater’s Tall Tales part 2 will be here soon. The next “toon” in the series is “Unidentified Flying Mater.” Sources indicate it will air on Disney XD on November 25th. Information can be wrong so don’t throw too many rocks at me if it doesn’t happen.

One thing that is happening though is the next Mater’s Tall Tales storybook, Heavy Metal Mater and Other Tall Tales. It is up for pre-order on Amazon right now (link) to be released on July 13, 2010. Just like the first one, there are 3 stories. Tokyo Mater is included, as well as Unidentified Flying Mater and the title story, “Heavy Metal Mater.” Here is the description.

Mater is up to his old tricks again, with three new tall tales in one fantastic hardcover storybook for boys ages 3 to 7! Mater tells Lightning McQueen how he started a heavy metal band, became a hot-rod racer in Tokyo, and had a close encounter with a UFO! This follow-up to Mater’s Tall Tales is a must-have for all fans of Disney•Pixar’s Cars and Cars Toons.

Will there be toys? Do I really need to ask that question? You can bet there will be toys. In fact, toys from Tokyo Mater are already planned, so the other 2 shouldn’t be far behind.

New Target Exclusive Story Tellers Available Now

Many of you, including myself, may have already noticed these showing up now. But the next wave of Story Tellers is now showing up at Target stores across the US. The Story Teller series is based on a Cars storybook that was released to go along with the toys last year.

Mater's Cousins Story Tellers

Mater's Cousins Story Tellers

The series continues with Mater’s Cousins and the Motorama Girls. There are 6 new Cars in all, including Mater’s Cousins which are Jud, Cletus and Buford and the Motorama Girls, which are Sheila, Laverne and Rhonda.

Motorama Girls Story Tellers

Motorama Girls Story Tellers

The first Story Tellers showed up last year during the holiday season. These are also currently being stocked at Targets, in the single and 3 packs. These are exclusive to Target stores, but the Mater Saves Christmas Story Tellers are not.

See the previous post for more information on the Story Tellers. You may also remember the pic of Bubba from that post. No word on when he is coming yet. But Bubba will be mega sized though, so that may put a twist on trying to get him into the Story Tellers line.

Mater Saves Christmas Story Tellers Saving a Christmas Near You

The Mater Saves Christmas Story Tellers series is now hitting retail stores in time for the holiday season. I think these are a Target exclusive since they are part of the Story Tellers line. Targets are doing a holiday reset right now, so they should be out at your store soon, if not already.

Mater Saves Christmas Boxset

Mater Saves Christmas Gift Pack

The gift pack is showing up first, and the boxset contains an exclusive Mater. The Mater is only available in the gift pack and not as a single. So I’m not really sure why anyone would buy the singles, unless you just don’t want Mater. But who wants Mater Saves Christmas without Mater? This seems like another Mattel ploy to get more money out of collectors.

Here is the list of singles.

Christmas Cruiser Ramone
Decked Out Doc Hudson
Snow Day Sally
Holiday Hotshot Lightning McQueen
Holiday Spirit Sheriff

Update: the singles are also showing up at Toys R Us, but no word on whether the gift pack is still exclusive. Also, there are 2 types of packaging for the singles, the normal Target style story tellers packaging and new snow globe packaging.

See this post for more Mater Saves Christmas photos.

New Cars Books, Mater's Tall Tales and Mater Saves Christmas

You may have noticed a few new Cars books showing up at retail lately. Mater’s Tall Tales is indeed a book version of the Cars Toons Mater’s Tall Tales animated shorts that debuted last year. I haven’t yet seen it in person, but I have heard that it is out there. It’s available on Amazon here.

Also now showing up is Mater Saves Christmas. I found it at Target this week. It’s also getting Christmas Cars based on the book. Mater saves Christmas is also available on Amazon here. The book itself is pretty good. And although only 6 Cars have been shown so far, there are even more in the book that could be made.
