The final installment for the chase cars article continues with the lenticular chase cars...
Bling Bling Lightning McQueen with Piston Cup
This car was released in Lenticular case H and also in a Walmart End Cap. The car was the first chase car to be released with lenticular eyes. An error of this car has been found (only one) that has the King Piston Cup.
The King with Ransburg Finish
This car was released in Lenticular case J. This is one nice looking car and is thought by most collectors to be the best lenticular car released... the paint job is one of the best.
Van with Stickers
This car was released in Lenticular case K. Probably the most sought after lenticular chase car if you can actually find one with bumper stickers on the back. A huge production error by Mattel saw the majority of the Van with Stickers car made and distributed without the actual sticker, but was still in chase packaging - much to the annoyance of collectors. Chase Van with the actual sticker is one of the most expensive Chase Cars to obtain.
Fred with Fallen Bumper
This car was released in Lenticular case L. This car can be seen in the movie when Lightening McQueen talks to Fred in the Rusteze tent and knows his name.
US and International Chase Fred with Fallen Bumper:
Cardbacks:
Fillmore with Organic Gas Cans
This car was released in both Lenticular case M and Lenticular Case R
Rusteze Lightning McQueen (with Rusteze Can)
This car was released in Lenticular case N.
Mater with Oil Can
This car was released in Lenticular case P.
Paint Mask Lightning McQueen
This car was released in Lenticular case Q (UK only) and also as part of the KMart 5 case. This car can be seen in the movie when Lightning McQueen is "helping out everyone in town" and getting a paint job by Ramone.
Mater with Lamp (i.e. Mater with Ghostlight)
This car was released in Lenticular case S. This car, well accessory, can be seen int he short "Mater and the Ghostlight" which is availble on the Cars DVD.
Do you notice anything different about this Mater with Glow in the Dark lamp?
Mater with Hood
This car was released in both Lenticular case T and Lenticular case W. Mater can be seen with his hood in the movie for a short period of time when he manages to hook it out of the canyon, just before he sneezes and it jumps back in...
Dinoco Lightning McQueen with Celebrity Signature
This car was released in Lenticular case X along with Yeti with Snow Cones. This car / accessory can be seen int he movie when Lightening McQueen is dreaming of being sponsored by Dinoco after he wins the Piston Cup.
Yeti with Snow Cones
This car was released in Lenticular case X along with Dinoco Lightning McQueen with Celebrity Signature (but not in the UK!!!). This car can be seen in the movie during the end credits at the Drive-In theater during "Toy Car Story".
Luigi with Paint Bucket and Guido with paint Rollers
This car was released in Lenticular case Y. These cars can be seen in the movie when both Guido and Luigi are painting Casa Della Tires (it hurts me to spell tyres that way, but that's the say it is in the movie!) after Lightning McQueen has laid the first part of the new road (and Lizzie says it makes Luigi's place look like a dump).
The Chase Guido and Luigi has not yet been released in the US in large quantity - we wonder where those cases and Cars are...
In Conclusion
Even though she has never been released as a chase car, the real chase has always been for Lizzie!!! Lizzie was released as a Desert Back single, as a Supercharged single, and as a single in an exclusive Walmart case W on World of Cars cardback as well as in a few boxed sets... Lizzie has not been released since 2008 and has never been released on Race O Rama cardback or as a lenticular.
So far there have been no chase cars released associated with Cars 2, but there has been an announcement as part of the D23 expo on 19th August 2011 that a new line called "Super Chase" is to be released. These "Super Chase" cars are to be the national racing cars that were shown in the regional variations of the Cars 2 movie. it is not know when these will be released nor how many of the cars will be released either - we are led to believe that it will be less than one per case...
