Disney Pixar Cars: Character Encyclopedia Release June 2012

[cac1959]

I just placed an order from the US Amazon site... I like Cars books and Cars... but you probably knew that anyway...

How exclusive is the McQueen that comes with it?

How exclusive is the McQueen that comes with it?

I believe it's the Metallic Paint Hudson Hornet Piston Cup McQueen - the Cars 1 body with the Piston Cup logo... the Car has not officially been released to retail yet... so from that standpoint, it's an exclusive.





Did I mention that I like the metallic paint Cars? But then you probably already knew that...

[bobbyjack]

Cool! I would have gotten the book even without the car. Now it sounds even better!

[BigMOCats]

Ordered!

[madbob]

Anyone got there's yet?

Amazon has changed the date to july ??

[yuffie]

my amazon order is showing an estimated dispatch date of today but also shows the book as being out of stock

who'd believe confusion over a release date of a cars related item

Too funny, yuffie... Sadly, it's to be expected in the world of Cars...

I just logged into my Amazon account and here's the latest:

Delivery Estimate: Monday August 6, 2012 - Thursday August 9, 2012
Not yet shipped

Sigh... I may find it in a store before my order ships... not that that's ever happened before with Cars merchandise...

[bobbyjack]

I will keep an eye out for it. We have a Books A Million next to my Target and I check there for Cars every once in a while.
