I think Retro Ramone was the one that came with one of the Storyteller packs right? He was red with yellow highlights.

Ah yes... he was released both individually and in a 3pack. As was Wedding Day Ramone.

Cars Drive In Gallery - Free Reference Guide for Characters from the Disney Pixar movie Cars!

I'll keep an eye out for you, John as I frequent Frank n sons from time to time. do you have a price that you absolutely will not pay for? I recall these being $6 for the singles, $11 for the 3 packs when they were first released.

While this isn't etched in stone yet, it's not pleasant news for the Cars line.

Mattel is going to make another line with lenticular eyes while the main line we're collecting is going to be Target exclusive.

So about me dropping the line after getting Pizza Planet and Frank, the Big M might be making that decision for me!

In a 2nd hand store, I found these: McQueen and Mater key/zipper chains with light-up headlights. (I know, they ain't Mattel, but they are Cars)

Coheteboy · 06-08-2009, 01:57 AM

On a related note, I went to Walmart today and saw an entire case of the cars with the new lenticular eyes. Horrible looking. Easy pass.

We went to Frank and Sons and I found Wedding Day Ramone. They had the 3-pack Retro, but I want to find it as a single.

I saw the lenticular eyes McQueen at a Wal-Mart, here in Phoenix. UGH-Leeeeee!

But the chase cars in that assortment are regulars! Don't tell me you passed those up. I think it's a chase Sarge btw.

Anything good was picked clean.

brand42 · 06-10-2009, 09:56 AM

I have to go see these lenticulars for myself. I know they looked bad in the photos but they must be really horrible based on reactions that I've read here and on other sites.

DISNEY CARS KMART DAY EVENT JUNE 20th, 2009 Just JDM

Coheteboy · 06-13-2009, 11:09 PM

I'm just so not close to Kmart anymore.

yoyoflamingo · 06-14-2009, 09:56 AM

Hopefully I'll get me a Pizza Planet truck then, as it's the only car I'm still interested in!

Good luck to anyone else going to K-Mart Cars day tomorrow!

Depending on how many people show up, they may distribute raffle tickets so it may be wise to get there around 10 or 10:30.

Melonballer · 06-20-2009, 01:50 AM

Wow. I thought it started at store open. Ok that is much better. Now I do not have to get up at 7am.

Wah *crying like a baby* We used to have Kmarts here in Canada, but thanks to Walmart, they shut down.
