That is the Fisher Price Mater shake N go! Yes, I saw a few Lewis Launchers, I'm not a big fan of the launchers at all.

boogity - I'm not sure what picture you're talking about... which post number is it? Kmart displays do leave a little to be desired... their stores are not usually as renovated (up to date) as others (Meijer, Target, TRU).

HunterLovesCars2 - can you tell us what that Mater is in the lower left corner of your picture? Also, do I see Lewis Hamilton launchers in the same photo? I saw 2 on the pegs at a Target store on Saturday but at $12.99 I left them... I already have an open one, and have decided I am not going to collect multiples of everything... no more open 1 and keep 1 carded of everything.

Thank you, HunterLovesCars2!, for the details on what was in the picture... we do appreciate it... I've never seen a Lewis launcher at Kmart... just twice at Target and once at Kohls... I've only seen Pinion Tanaka at 2 Kmart stores... Here's hoping that next Tuesday, when the movie comes out, we'll see new merchandise that we want to buy (Carlo Maserati, Lewis Hamilton, and McQueen with Piston Cup decal singles)... newer 2 packs (Security Finn, Sal Machiani)... newer Kmart Crew Chief 2 packs... newer Deluxe (Pope/Popemobile)...

Great score, Lovemini, on the Easy Idle semi...I wish Mattel would release the rest of the Cars haulers, team crew sets, launchers, etc... there were several Cars in the new Meet the Cars book that have not been released yet.

I was in the thurrock branch last week and saw the pit crew set wanted the chick Hicks one but they didn't have it.

Also is the Ramone with hydrolics up rare as i saw it in Argos and have never seen it before.

If you find 'the factory outlet store', they've got the chick hicks pit crew in there, Ł12.00.

spotted a green mcq in tru at 29.99,had not seen this version before, its that fancy design similiar to the one in chris,s avatar, the name of it escapes me for the moment

did get a nice little hotwheels ferrari californy, after all...

I think you're talking about the RideMakerz, boogity... I saw that green McQueen... if I get another RideMakerz it will probably be the McQueen that matches the Ransburg Mater that I got that I'm using for my avator...

Great score on your Hot Wheels Ferrari.

I really hope we start seeing Lewis, Maserati and Mcqueen with Piston Cup decals soon! Especially I really want the security Finn and Sal Machiani. But mostly I'm looking forward to new crew cheifs and the pope mobile and pope,

My mother-in-law got a letter of Mattel yesterday, Lewis will be out very, very soon!

I hope lewis will be better behaved than his real life couterpart, the little squirt!

Finally found a single rubber-tire Lewis, at the 5th Kmart I've checked since Saturday. The weird thing is that it was the only car from it's case on the pegs. It would be a weird return, but I can't see what else it could be. I'm thankful for it, though. I also found an A-Team van Hot Wheels, which, as a child of the 80s, was all kinds of exciting for me.

Cool find on the A-Team Van. We open a couple Hot Wheels cars in between Disney Pixar Cars. I'm always on the look out for the 80's TV show cars. The General Lee was the last one I found. My son has never seen the show, but loves the car. I've been looking for the A Team Van and Kitt but haven't had any luck so far.

Was in tru today, spotted the chick hicks pitcrew set, wasnt priced, aked for the price, item wasnt on file, so he wouldnt sell it, put it back in the stockroom, asked him to get the price from h o and left my number, betcha he dosnt phone
think the tenner or whatever would have been better in the till rather than sitting in the stockroom, unless he had an alterior motive of course, what a pratt.... and a half

Oh man, I didn't even know there was a Kitt or General Lee out there. I love those '80 TV show(and movie) cars as well. Those are really the only Hot Wheels that I can get into, although my son is into all of them- well, as long as they have a spoiler. In Elliott's eyes, if they don't have a tailfin, they aren't race cars. And if they aren't race cars, they are worthless.
