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

— October 22nd, 2009

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.

Reminder: Kmart Cars Collector Day October, 2009

— October 16th, 2009

This is just a reminder that the exclusive Kmart CARS Collector Event is back, and will be in-stores tomorrow, Saturday, October 17th at 11:00 am. Collectors could also pre-order a limited quantity of this special case of Pixar CARS Character Cars on-line at Kmart.com starting on 9/27 at 10am.

Each 24 pack case contains 19 Kmart exclusive racer vehicles with Real Synthetic Rubber Tires (7 different characters). The Kmart exclusive vehicles with real synthetic rubber tires include:

#84 Re-Volting
#52 Leak Less
#68 N2O Cola
#58 Octane Gain
#73 Rev-N-Go
#76 Vinyl Toupee
#34 Trunk Fresh

There are 5 lenticular Cars in the assortment.

Brand New Mater
Chick Hicks
Lightning McQueen
Ramone (Yellow)
Sheriff

I don’t expect this will be much different from the Cars Collector Day this summer. Probably even less of an event since the Cars aren’t as exciting this time around. However, I will be going tomorrow to pick up the racers. Let us know how your experience was in the comments.

Target Exclusive Cars Crew Box Sets

— September 26th, 2009

I posted about the Target Exclusive Cars Crew Team Box Sets a few months ago. Word is that there is an official release date for these of October 11, 2009 (same as the Final Lap Cars.) It looks like some of these are getting out early on eBay. Here is the checklist.

Team Dinoco Crew
Team HTB Crew
Team Leak Less Crew

Each box set has a crew chief and 3 pittys. Strange that there is no Rust-Eze crew. Maybe because there were different Rust-Eze teams? We are finally getting the Dinoco and HTB crew chiefs that were first shown in early 2008, I believe. Here is a photo gallery. Again, look for these only at Target on October 11, along with the Final Lap Cars.

Toys R Us Exclusive Sarge's Boot Camp Box Set

— September 23rd, 2009

Here’s the scene from the movie.

Sarge and Company

And here are the toys.

Sarge's Boot Camp

I wasn’t aware, but it appears this is a Toys R Us exclusive. Here is the list of characters: TJ, Murphy, Charlie Cargo, Frank Pinkerton and Sarge. TJ is much bigger than the previous Walmart exclusive version. Compare him with Sarge to get an idea of scale.

So be on the lookout for these at Toys R Us. You can find some already on eBay here.

Kmart Cars Collector Day – October, 2009

— September 21st, 2009

The exclusive Kmart CARS Collector Event is back, and will be in-stores on Saturday, October 17th at 11:00 am. Collectors will also be able to pre-order a limited quantity of this special case of Pixar CARS Character Cars on-line at Kmart.com starting on 9/27 at 10am.

Each 24 pack case* contains 19 Kmart exclusive racer vehicles with Real Synthetic Rubber Tires (7 different characters), 2 new to market vehicles and other highly demanded vehicles as well. The Kmart exclusive
vehicles with real synthetic rubber tires include:

#84 Re-Volting
#52 Leak Less
#68 N2O Cola
#58 Octane Gain
#73 Rev-N-Go
#76 Vinyl Toupee
#34 Trunk Fresh

*Quantities are while supplies last, and the assortment may vary.

Update: There are 5 lenticular Cars in the assortment.

Brand New Mater
Chick Hicks
Lightning McQueen
Ramone (Yellow)
Sheriff

Since it is the first release of Yellow Ramone and Brand New Mater as lenticulars on card, we assume that those are the 2 “new to market” Cars. So yes this is very disappointing. I will be going to get the rubber tire racers and nothing else, and I won’t be pre-ordering a case.

Mater Saves Christmas Holiday Cars Photo Guide 2009

— September 14th, 2009

In a few months, the holidays will be upon us, and this year we will see holiday Cars for the first time. They are part of the Mater Saves Christmas series, complete with the Mater Saves Christmas storybook. There are 6 Christmas Cars, Mater, Sheriff, Lightning McQueen, Sally, Ramone and Doc. There is also a boxset, and I don’t know if these will be sold separately or just in the boxset.

Here are some photos of the Christmas Cars.

These are just starting to show up on eBay overseas.

Christmas McQueen
Holiday Ramone
Holiday Sally
Holiday Sheriff
Reindeer Mater
Santa Doc

The storybook is available now, also called “Mater Saves Christmas.” Here it is on Amazon.

Final Lap Cars Finally Make Their Debut

— September 13th, 2009

Update: Official release date for these is October 11, 2009.

Final Lap Cars have finally been found at Target. New Cars in this first assortment are Skip Ricter, Polly Puddlejumper and Blowing Bubbles Mater. See them on eBay here. I believe these were found in California. It will no doubt take some time for them to make their way across the country to the different distribution centers. In addition, there could be a street date, although I haven’t heard of one, which would have been ignored in this case.

I don’t really have any more information at this time. Anyone else finding these yet? Be sure to write in if they are showing up near you.
