Mattel's Cars & Cars 2 - discussion

[Barbossa]

I finally got a second Lizzie and a second Radiator Springs McQueen. These ones will be opened up and the Supercharged ones will stay sealed.

Any word yet if Sarge will be re-released?

[Barbossa]

I thought I'd post a few pics of how the World of Cars carded cars are mislabeled here in Canada. Here's Tongue McQueen:
Supercharged and World of Cars:




Closeup of label, number is right, label is wrong:


Anybody happen to know what the numbers are on Blu-Ray McQueen and the new Lightning Storm McQueen?

Here's an excerpt from my comic-con coverage. Cars fans have a lot to be happy about! Discuss!


CARS! I LOVE ME SOME DISNEY-PIXAR CARS!

No, it's not their best movie but gee, I don't know what it is about it. I like it and I love the toys. It's also fun that my good friend's son is so into it that I'm his official CAR purchaser. Seeing how excited he gets and how he loves to keep the packaging... I'm so proud.


Anyhoo... to start things off, it's DARTH MATER!!!



This is something that the mattel design team cooked up and it's gonna be sold for all the right reasons.



What's so special about it besides that it's the only one ever made? Well check out the people who signed it!





Yup, that's George Lucas and John Lasseter. Now THAT is a collectible!


Getting back to the regular Cars line, there's a lot to see. There's a ton of cars that I actually don't recognize.




















Who are those cars??? Does anyone know? Are they from the video game?

Ok here's the real ones!














Cars with the boot are going to be chase figures. Translation: RARE










CARS with the Piston Cup are also chase figures... RARE!







NEW mack truck






A new Ramone:







This one cracks me up...




New updated helicopter



Updated Al Blimp and of course the Pizza Planet Truck!



Bunch of little helpers:



Plenty of trucks!






Sarge salutes.... hopefully not poisonous






Muddy McQueen



Not exactly sure what this one is about:



Uh oh!



Cozy Cone Sally


A Crew Chief



Lightning shopping around



Lightning with a bush on his head



A Variation on the Mack truck



Messed up King!



Another crew chief



Another truck



A fan of the King



Closer look at the Wal-Mart exclusive Truck






Lightning McQueen fan and race official

















Alright NOW we're done with CARS. And yes FRANK is indeed in the works! I spoke to them in great lengths about it.

Love the Pizza Planet truck and Elvis. I thought I was done collecting, but can't pass those up!

thanks for the updates!

I LOVE the Darth Matar vehicle, too bad it's only an auction item.

I hope the Muddy McQueen turns out as good as the sample you saw.
(The Cactus McQueen preview sample I saw was MUCH nicer than the
ones with the sloppy paint job that ended up in the stores.)

Oh! I really need a Pizza Planet Truck!!!!!

And there was one other you had pictured in the Comic Con thread,
a McQueen in a case ! That one was cool, too! I'd love to find one like that.

If it was the blue storm McQueen, I believe that was a Comic Con exclusive. It might show up online, but it'll be expensive and not in general release.

yeah, that's the one. I see ebay has them going with delivery, in the $40 to $50 range (and up)

Yeah. I'm glad I finally have a chance to relax from heavy collecting and being only an occassional collector. Although, when the new Nightmare Before Christmas figures produce a Sandy Claws, I will have to pick that up.

wow some great cars..... i love when a bunch of cars come out like that because parents need to buy them all..... that means my sales go up up UP!
Think i will need to buy some too..... Great pics. thank you

Lightning Storm McQueen will in fact be a regular retail release but without the shiny paint and without the missile mount on top. I'm surprised Coheteboy missed the photo of it but here's one that I took

Ah, hehe... i figured that the exclusive was already out and old news. I didn't even think that the one next to elvis was anything NEW!

[brand42]

Well, I have the exclusive version of Lightning Storm (don't ask how long I waited at the Mattel booth!) but I still really need/want the regular version. The exclusive one looks too nice for me to sully with my fingerprints and I can't swoosh him through the air. Ooops did I just say that out loud?

[Barbossa]

I really want to get Elvis! Any word if they will release Jay Limo or Sven?

All I got to say is this toy line is huge. And more Cars will be on their way when Cars 2 hits theaters.

[DisneyFan28]

I may start collecting these too
I saw at wal-mart today Bug Mouth Mcqueen and Sarge and a few others
about 3.77 a piece

the rest were not mattel but mega blocks.

[brand42]

I found and bought Kathy Copter and the RPM pitty at Target today. I also saw Tar McQueen but passed on it. Basically it's the regular McQueen with one splash of black paint on the front hood.
