      I made a bunch of updates today and removed a lot of items that have been re-released. Some others, like Choke Cables I pulled out as well even though the original cardback still is hard to find - but the re-release last year of him added so many more out there that I can't call it rare anymore. Same thing with Frank the Combine.

        You might want to remove Dash Boardman from the Exclusive part. He was re-released as a single in 2015. Unless it is different than the original?

                Number 19 on the very rare list

Items are grouped into categories below (i.e. very rare, medium-rare, etc). The number next to the item does not matter - therefore #7 on the list is NOT necessarily more rare than #21. I value your input but please understand that there are differences of opinion at times and some may not agree with everything on the list.

                Exclusives- (these are cars released only in a set at retailers but never as a single. None of these have been re-released to date so rarity is there once the set disappears from stores. I removed a bunch from this list on 3/17/15 since many items that were once a set exclusive have now been re-released as singles.)
                1) Murphy
                2) Charlie Cargo
                3) Frank Pinkerton
                4) Santa Car in 3-pack Mater Saves Christmas set
                5) Tim Rimmer (non lenty)
                6) Professor Z Web (aka Noodle Z)

                Items With Only ONE Ever Made (these are cars not included in the rarity lists above since one was only ever made of each and you will never own it and it's really no different than just having a custom car done.
                1) McQueen 'The ONE'
                2) Vinyl McQueen Hauler (only one prototype ever made that was boxed - was sold on ebay in Feb 2015)
                3) Walmart Hauler (another prototype of only one ever made - font of writing was rejected by Walmart - sold on ebay Mar 2015)
                I have a mint condition boxed set , number 19 on your very rare list, how rare is it? I know to have the Rowlin bowlin mater in teal was quite odd in the boxed set as he only appeared in the flashback sequence. I'd love to know how many were made

                  Rollin' Bowlin' Mater never appeared in the film. The flashback scene featured "Brand New Mater". Rollin' Bowlin' was only made for the play-set. And the 2006 Factory Sealed set. On a singles cardback. The Factory Sealed set was a production run of 500. As for how many Rollin' Bowlin' Mater play-sets were made. I don't think anyone in the collector's community actually knows. And also a boxed set sold at B.J.'s Warehouse. Additionally there were a few unauthorized carded ones that were sold out of China. And possibly a few loose ones as well.

                  The last two completed Ebay sales for the playset. Were around $30 and $40 shipped FWIW.

                        Rollin' Bowlin' Mater:


                        Brand New Mater:


                        If you have this set from BJ's Warehouse. It is rather rare:




                        I'd say there were probably more of the play-sets made:

                          Hello. I am new here, I am from Spain, it is a real pleasure for me to join you here. I am boxed collector but I have also a lot of loose cars. I have a lot of models but I was wonder how much would be ypur idea for the 6 cars exclusive sets shown in the prevkous pictures ( 6 pack rollin bowling Mater and the other 6 cars exclusive). I have also TRU Santa Car pack, Tabinu Toons, haulers, story tellers, sarge boot camp pack, and some others, I really like cars but it is expensive in Europe, in Spain we do not have many special items to be honest so O have to look for them on amazon, ebay and so on. Best regards for all of you.
