  • Radiator Springs 500 1/2 Cars found June 30, 2014 at Walmart in US

    Posted on the PCD Facebook page earlier today... the new Radiator Springs 500 1/2 Cars were found earlier today, June 30, 2014, at a Walmart store in the US... will try to get photos to post here.

    In my opinion, they look great...

    Cost is $5.97 each - about the same as the new Planes Fire and Rescue singles.

    Not sure of case contents but the picture shows 5 singles:
    Off-Road Lightning McQueen
    Idle Threat
    Blue Grit
    Sandy Dunes
    Shifty Sidewinder

    The back of the card also shows Off-Road Mater.

    Here's hoping we find them soon.

    Update: here are pictures, courtesy of TopherDawg:

    The box we're looking for - notice the August 1 street date:


    Here are the Cars inside case A:

      I'm trying to upload my pics, but keep getting the Orange Exclamation point. Feel free to take them from Facebook.

      The Case has 2 McQueens, so no Mater and it is labeled Case A, so assuming more to come!
      Also the case is labeled with a Do Not Sell Before Aug 1st, 2014 banner.

          Why would these even be street dated? There isn't a movie involved with them.

            Here's my guess...

            Planes Fire and Rescue Toys went on sale on June 1... as part of the contract with Disney about Planes F and R, Mattel had to "promise" a 60 day window where the Planes Fire and Rescue toys were the only new Planes and Cars series items they could launch.

              Or it could be that's when the Cars Toon comes off its Disney Anywhere exclusive and goes into wider release.

                    I like the detail on these vehicles. I would probably buy one to keep on card, but none for opening.

                        I found a set too! They look cool ... but wondering if there is much metal in them. Will wait until we get home to find out.

                            Found one case but it was put in an off place with some other Planes Fire and Rescue stuff. I got all but the Lighting McQueen.
