The return of Flo's V8 Cafe... Supposedly available on October 1, 2012.
When I first got my V8 Cafe at TRU, it was $24.99; the other 3 were $19.99.
Several month later, Flo's V8 Cafe was up to $29.99 and what was left of the others were $24.99... I helped a few friends back then... I know many of you would like to add the original playsets to your collections.
Now Flo's is $34.99 on pre-order (due for release October 1)... I expect the others to come back at $29.99... I would love to see new Radiator Springs playsets... The Cozy Cone... Doc's Museum... Sarge's Surplus Hut... Fillmore's Tent... Mater's Junkyard... the Courthouse...
They've also added the Tractor Tippin playset to the website... it's on pre-order... however, I have friends who have found it in stores and posted photos elsewhere... here's the old Race-o-Rama version:
On the ROR version, the boy is wearing a green shirt... on the newer releases (Night Skyline and Classic versions), it's a black shirt... same boy... same shirt - just used software to change the shirt color.

As for the play sets, I'm glad to see them returning but man, the price jumped $15 since the Desert Back? And if they rerelease anything, at least make Doc's, Sarge's and The Cozy Cone. I don't see how they could easily make Fillmore's Tent with an opening roof, since all of the other play sets have opening roofs. I would love to see it made though! As for the Courthouse, I would need the strip mall of shops first, as putting the Courthouse right next to Luigi's and Ramone's would be pretty weird.
Singles have been found at Toys R US stores in Missouri and Nevada...
The first set of 8 include:
Fabulous Hudson Hornet with red rims
Shiny Wax
The King
Chick Hicks
Dexter Hoover with Yellow Flag
Ramone (purple)
Radiator Springs McQueen
Tex Dinoco
I really don't intend to collect them all on the classic cardback... I see myself buying the first 5 of the 8 I have listed above... I am considering going after the Supercharged Cars that I do not have carded...

Those were the only ones he saw on the pegs... $3.99 each... I may make a road trip early in the morning tomorrow...
Thank you, Chad, for the great photos.
So much for me only buying the racers... he got me one of each of the 4 and will look elsewhere next week.
Update:
I read a report on carsthetoys.com that there are 12 singles in the case:
2 each of The King, Chick Hicks, Radiator Springs McQueen, and Shiny Wax
1 each of Ramone, Dexter Hoover, Tex Dinoco, and Fabulous Hudson Hornet
Here are UPCs for the ones shown in the above photos:
Ramone: 746775208684
Chick: 746775208752
Radiator Springs Ramone: 746775208660

Someone in Minnesota found the new Flo's V8 Cafe in a TRU store as well.
I didn't go look on Saturday but I may go on Sunday...

Just got a text with photos from my friend Chad... here's what he's found today:
The last 4 singles I needed for a complete set:
The Tractor Tippin game:
Back of Tractor Tippin game - the shirt color has been changed from the Race O Rama version:
Race O Rama version from post #36 in this thread:
Even though I have all of these new Radiator Springs Classic items in other cardbacks (or opened), I'm more excited to see these than I am non diecast Cars2 items...I like the new diecasts... I like the Lights and Sounds... I like the Metallic Finish Cars2 items... but they are all diecasts, and that's what I like.
