Found Tractor Tippin playset Radiator Springs Classic Edition including FRANK---so I bought all 3 they had at Toys r us Also walked in and bought the entire set of Radiator springs diecast including king, doc, and chick......anybody have any news on these? Think the Radiator springs classic edition will be good or ruin the values of the old ones? Had been looking for Carlo Maseratti for 6 months now and walked into Big Lots and found 8 of them for sale on the shelves so my collection is now fulfilled of 1-30

I got all this on August 1st. Everything but the Ka-Chow 2 Pack came from TRU. The 2 Pack came from Wal-Mart.

Found the new movie moments case for the first time since the Fourth of July...

Bad news is they are back to the regular price of $6.88. Grabbed one to offer for trade.

Nice scores, BOSTONSCARS, Fillmore1234, and bobbyjack... thanks for sharing your photos.

I don't mind paying regular retail price for a new Car(s) that I need... I just wish I would find something in a store... but I'm grateful for friends and JMDL Toys for helping me out.

Forgot to mention... I found this at Meijer a few days ago... Quick Changer Crabby Boat:



There was only 1 of them... but I didn't buy it... Quick Changer Spy series... pushing the button causes the deck to flip over... there are also new singles being released...

Good to hear from you, boogity... nice score on the Take Flight 3 pack.

You can't see my latest Disney Store find...

Stealth Mater:


I'm invisible... I'm Stealth Mater!


You can't see Stealth Finn in this picture with me... he taught me how to be an invisible spy!


You can't see Stealth Finn in this picture with me... he taught me how to be an invisible spy! Er, did I say that already?


You won't see me in Cars2 either... but I'm Chase Stealth Mater, and I approved this post.

If I can figure out how to remove the paint from an extra Mattel Finn McMissile and Race Team Mater that I might just happen to have around, I might try to make my own 1:55 customs for the PCD customs contest... if I cover the eyes and wheels with painters tape, maybe I can spray on some matte black spray paint and make my own custom... it won't look pretty compared to the work of several of our PCD members, but I can at least enter the contest...
