  • Questions on "teams"

    Hello there folks!

    I have heard that the carsfluenza was a very contagious thing...and I find myself catching it. That being said, I have a very much growing interest in some of the Cars 1 merchandise. Mainly haulers...mwahahaha

    I've been looking into picking up a "complete team" of whichever racer. From my limited searches at work and knowledge, I've been liking the Octane Gain team. Mostly because I like the SUV type crew chief. Does any other team offer an SUV crew chief? How many different pitties do most teams have? From what I can see most have a 4. One with a name and 3 others that usually consist of thin and wide pitties. Released in a variety of different packaging.

    From what I gathered, the Octane Gain team consists of:

    - Octane Gain
    - Hauler/Semi
    - Crew Chief
    - Dudley Spare
    - Thin Pitty
    - Wide Pitty
    - Wide Pitty with tool

    I've looked at the pictures in the "great to be part of team" thread and read it as well. And I LOVE the way they look all together. I've seen lots of displays of these teams and the crew chief is sitting on a box of some sort that shows off the team sponsors logo. Are these customs?

    PS: NEVER EVER ebay search the words "trunk fresh" on their own. I made that mistake and I hope to never make it again. Got a whole lot of things showing up that were not #34 Trunk Fresh

    As far as I know, the Octane Gain Crew Chief is the only SUV body style crew chief... I will try to look late tonight to confirm.

    If my recent article "Hail to the Chief" was correct, link:
    http://www.pixarcarsdiecast.com/foru...8Crew%29-Chief

    As far as officially released crew chiefs:
    Trucks: HTB, Dinoco, Nitroade
    Cars: Leakless, Spare Mint, Shiny Wax, No Stall, RPM
    SUV: Octane Gain
    Other: Bumper Save

    The boxes are pit crew boxes - they are customs that you can print off and create on your own... I had my wife help me by folding them - she likes crafts/scrapbooking.

    Good point about eBay searches... what you get may not be what you want to see.

      Thanks for the link cac and thanks for the info on the custom pit crew boxes

      I'm looking at about $100 bucks for a complete Octane Gain set (various buy it now listings). I don't want multiples of the car so I'm looking at buying Hauler on its own (I think I saw on the bo that the car was sold seperatly), crew chief box set with the 3 pitties, Dudley Spare pitty and rubber tire racer. Seems like a fairly decent price for all of them brand new in package (I like to open them myself lol).

        You'd be best getting the Team 3 pack (Hauler, car and pitty) and the team set (Crew Chief and 3 x Pittys) if you can

        About 5 months ago they had both of those packs in for £14.99 each

            I've checked amazon.ca and the prices are outrageous!

            http://www.amazon.ca/Disney-Pixar-CA...7559861&sr=8-5
            http://www.amazon.ca/Disney-Pixar-Ex...7559861&sr=8-9
            http://www.amazon.ca/Disney-Pixar-Mo...7559861&sr=8-6

            Amazon US is a bit better
            http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Pixar-M...tane+gain+crew

            ebay still holds the better deal though:
            http://www.ebay.ca/itm/DISNEY-PIXAR-...ht_1259wt_1346

            Does amazon US ship to Canada? I've never even bought anything from amazon.ca lol. I'll keep my eye peeled as I probably won't be buying this too soon. maybe extra xmas presents for me...errr I mean my son lol

              Man, the Octane Gain crew set shot up in price. I bought mine for $16 about a month ago on Amazon, and now it's $30.

                Oh , yes ... i am surprised that many stuff on Amazon is up up up ! It was pretty cheap and many would recommend to get cars from Amazon. Now it looks like it gotten worst than Ebay..

                Mattel, you better re-release all these if not new collectors will go broke.
