Mini Racers Checklist

[VANDANCE]

Yes thanks Chris, the new wave of mini racers have just been put out as part of the Asda / Walmart reset after Christmas. Thanks to the users on this site for keeping us all up to date with the box numbers as I had no idea what number Todd was until checking here. after a quick look I was able to easily find the new cars I needed.

Awesome finds, VANDANCE! I don't have Todd or any of the rest of the new Wave 3 boxes yet... congratulations!

Back to the blind bags, did they never release bag #'s 40 and 47-52?

Correct - the numbers 40 and 47-52 were never released as blind bags.

I won't be bidding on these since I have the blind box D case on order.

Me neither... I had already ordered the 5 cars I needed from BlindBox D .... so it would just be the #RoadTripRamone and #SteveSlickLePage that would interest me.... don't want to have the other 18 duplicates from 2 10packs just to get them. I'll wait on those two when they become available through some other means (just like I'm still doing with PrimerMcQueen).

Here are 2 new 10 packs of mini racers that are currently for sale by the eBay seller 06benal06 - located in France, I don't know if they ship outside of France.






Here's a link to one of the new 10 packs:

Chris,
Looking at the Blind Box designations from Post 1... You have them as Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3... Eli often advertises them as Case A, Case B, Case C, Case D. Is Series 1 = Case A, Series 2 = Case B, etc..?

One thing I've gathered, and I don't know if it's country specific, but the Cases seem to have unique primary box Colors:

Case A - Red
Case B - A lighter almost french Blue
Case C - Yellow
Case D - A more medium Blue.

Do these colors agree with your Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3, etc... designations?

Regarding the Blind Bags.. they are designated as Waves... they are always black, but have different Cars featured on the bags... I've bought allot of blind bags, but always throw the bags away, so I don't have any reference for you...

Peter,

I don't know if I fully know the answers to your question... The very first box of blind bags mini racers contained just numbers 01 through 08... gradually Mattel released additional case which contained a few previously unreleased numbers and some of the repeats... then they changed the numbering scheme which meant almost all of the mini racers had different numbers.

As far as blind boxes are concerned, I've only seen (in stores) 2 different case A which come in red boxes and are labeled on the case box as Series 1... the first shipment had printed labels on each individual box... the second shipment had the labeling indented... I've not seen the outer cardboard case box that the case box came in... I have a case D on order that I hope to receive next week... I will take pictures of the box and inner boxes as I open them up... I will be able to see what the Series number is on the box... I'll post what I find once I find them... I'm trying to limit myself to just the new releases of the Mini Racers but I'm not buying 10 or 15 packs just to get 1 or 2 new Cars... someone posted pictures of a couple of new 10 packs which were shown on the PCD Facebook page from a French seller's eBay listing.

With the new Case D cars (5 new ones that never appeared in anything previously), I see a few cars spotted in spy shots that are not included:

#HolaAmigoRamone
#GeorgeNewwin
#RexRevler

So, I wonder if we will see a Case E soon? Hopefully it will have the long ago announced:
Radiator Springs Series cars: #Guido
Silver Series cars: #SilverLMQ
Metallic Series cars: #MetallicMater, #MettalicGreenChickHicks
Derby Racers Seires: #YellowMissFritter (non gold, non muddy)
Cars 3 Series: #DinocoBlueLMQ (non metallic)
Glow Series cars: #GlowMater

The last rumored car I haven't see is #HydraulicRedRamone that is part of the still unseen #NightTimeInRadiatorSprings 3-pack. <- Update.. He's available and I have him. I also have the Cars1LMQ and OfficerLMQ on order.

I'll attach a few fotos for my sources.


My wish lists, (I've made these up and they are totally unsubstantiated, but I've kept it to a healthy minimum):

Thomasville Series cars: #JuniorMoon, #SweetTea (With Junior Johnson passing away recently and the character having a few speaking parts in the movies... it's due as a MiniRacer).

Radiator Springs Series cars: #Lizzie, #Stanley, #Frank, #Tractor (regular), #Bessie, #Otis (I know, some of these are stretches because they didn't appear in Cars3 specifically)

Cars 3 Series cars: #Tex, #Dusty Rusteze, #Rusty Rusteze (these are key owners that should be represented by a MiniRacer.... after all Sterling was represented.) Make them a 3pack.

These cars are official now: Aaron Clocker, Dud Throttlemen, Paul Conrev, Jack Depost and Blind Spot. They are available for sale in Europe anyway. Hope we get them in the USA soon.
2 new NexGens, 2 new currenGen Piston Cup Cars, and 1 new Derby Car. (Now if we could just get Junior Moon as a Legend! Darryl CarTrip as a Classic! and Guido and Lizzie and Rusty and Dusty Rust-Eze).

I like the looks of those new mini racers, ODwyerPW! Thank you for sharing! And I also like your new mini Todd, the Pizza Planet truck...

Not seen any of the new packaging 3 packs in UK stores here, was hoping they would appear near xmas, i have to find other sources which can work out costly.

[cac1959]

Have those just arrived in stores in the UK? RustEzeWraps arrived in the US about 6 weeks ago, however, I purchased the others back in June/July here in the USA.

I don't know if they have arrived in stores in the UK... they just showed up in Indiana and Ohio within the last week... can any of our UK members let us know if they've seen those 3 packs in UK stores?

[cac1959]

Here are a few new mini racers 3 packs that I've seen in stores the last week... I bought the Dinoco Wraps and the Rusteze Wraps... I did not buy the 3 pack with non-metallic Dinoco Chick Hicks... I have since learned that the non-metallic Dinoco Chick Hicks has previously been released as a blind bag single - I haven't checked my minis singles to determine which ones I have and which ones I may still need.
