Nice find on the Mater with Balloon, Homercleez!

Found Case E March release cars yesterday. Only 8 new cars for 2016 in this one found 4 so others were gone already and so were the 2 transforming LMQs

I was at Walmart a couple of days ago and they have several hooks full of Cars and Planes. A lot color changing Cars. Can't say I noticed anything unique though.

Great, now I have "Chug-gin-ton...chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, Chugginton" stuck in my head. (We'll see if I'm the only one who noticed the Wilson carrying case.)

I didn't notice the carrying case and I took the picture, odisn!

Nice addition, DraculaMater123... I have yet to see Bessie in a store this time around... my only Bessie store finds last time were at Burlington Coat Factory stores several years ago.

@CarsCollector02 I can't remember which ones they were, since I wasn't interested in the color changers, but I believe they were the ones in the individual packs. I don't recall seeing a box set.

I saw coloring changes cars at TRU today. I saw them on a tv commercial recently, so I think they are fairly new.

What colour changers where they? There are some new 2016 colour changers, so it could be them! I don't collect them though, don't see the point

Been busy but found all these guys the in January and February. Don't have any plans of picking up the "carbon" racers or Target exclusives. Just more repaints in my eyes. Gonna keep my eyes out for all the new 2016 cars and keep my patience. Having car hunting on the back burner in life right now helps the wait to find anything new go by a lot faster.

Great finds. I wonder if the RIP single will be available in the U.S soon? I have picked up a few RIP singles over here in the U.K so the Carbon 4 pack is not really of much interest with RIP being the exclusive car. Having said that I like the look and feel of the box sets so if it is cheap enough, I would probably get it anyway. That kind of 4 pack would typically sell for around £25 ($35 USD) so hard to justify unless on special offer. Fingers crossed the rest of the carbon racers appear soon...

Neat finds, cac1959!

I just found the Carbon Speed 4-pack in Toys R Us. I thought it was exclusive to Target?

I found the same Carbon Racers 4 pack at an Indianapolis Toys R US last night.



TRU has 20% off Cars diecasts this week - that makes the set $15.99 on sale.

It looks like Target got the Carbon 4 pack first - was it about 3 months ago we first saw them at Target? And this explains why it says first look at Rip Clutchgoneski and not Only At Target.

Carnival Cup racers are out at Target - I found them in an end cap area away from the regular Cars display:
