Here's an update on a post from 9/30/16... Mater and the Easter Buggy Cars are here! Maybe.
While the Cars have been found in the US at a few Toys R US stores, at the register it shows a street date (release date to sell) of 4/30/2017... today is January 16, not April 30... but... the first 4 Cars from this book:
are here!
I actually found a set on the pegs at 1 of 2 Dayton (Ohio) TRU stores today... it was totally unexpected.
On the shelf for a picture:
They are in the system - this shows the price and the TRU number:
In the trunk of my car:
I wasn't sure I was going to be able to purchase them, but the cashier asked the manager to provide a code to over-ride the register and it happened!
There was only 1 of each on the pegs - and at this store they were in with the rest of the Cars... others reported finding them in a different area away from the Cars and other cars.
Here are photos of front and back of the individual Cars:

Again, currently the system shows a street date of 4/30/2017 but since that is after Easter, they are aware of the problem and are working on it... I know that Eli from Get Me Collectibles has the Easter Cars on order... 4/30/2017 is the day before the Cars 3 toys go on sale and I think the Easter Cars are categorized as Cars 3 Cars right now and they are not.
Let us know when you find them and if you're able to buy them.
Next time I read Mater and the Easter Buggy to my 3 year old grandson we're going to pause every so often to open each of the 4 Cars... they will go on display as opposed to being opened to play.
Hopefully the book will be re-released again this year - finding both the book and the Cars should increase sales of both.
And just maybe we'll see the book released as a Toon/Tall Tale.
