I had no idea this was available until last week, but the Disney Store is selling an exclusive diecast Frank that is HUGE. It’s a good price too at $19.99. If I happen to see it, I may pick it up.

The scale seems to be much more accurate to the movie when compared to the other diecast. Here is a photoset from jadafiend on Flickr. I am reposting these here with his permission. Included are 2 shots of the Disney Store Frank with Mega Size Frank so you can see the scale. It looks to me about twice as big as Mega Size Frank. What does everyone else think of this?

I’ve heard that you can only get this in store too, not through their online store. If there is not a Disney Store near you, there are a few up for sale on eBay right now.

Hello Cars fans! I am back. I took an unintended but much needed break from the site for the past couple of weeks. My apologies, but after Comic Con, there was not much news, and then I got busy with other things. But now I am back, and there is lots of Cars news to talk about so here we go.

Mattel has just announced a 1:24 diecast Lightning McQueen exclusive to MattyCollector.com. It goes on sale on Monday August 17th, probably at 12 PM is my guess. Now before you get all excited, this McQueen is priced at $45, which may be too expensive for some if not most. But for the price, this McQueen is 1:24 scale, highly-detailed diecast, mounted on a special plastic display base and riding on synthetic rubbers tires with tread pattern on them.

Again, this is available only on MattyCollector.com starting on Monday. It’s a very interesting item, but my opinion is that the price is too high. Your mileage may vary. BTW, the SDCC 2009 exclusive Rescue Squad Mater is still available on MattyCollector.com for $30. Mine finally came this week, and it is very nice!
