ZipZaps Micro RC CARS May Still Be Available!

I've seen all types of RC (Radio Controlled) Pixar Cars on the market. The best in this collector's mind are the ZipZaps from Radio Shack! I bought mine 2 years ago and thought they were sold for a short time and gone. I just went to ZipZaps.com and right there on the front page are the stars of Pixar's Cars! I attempted to place an order and couldn't. I called the 800 number and got a guy who claimed they were on back order. I don't believe him. He seemed like one of those guys who didn't know crap about his job. I also went to a Radio Shack today and they said they haven't been available for a long time. At this point, you'll have to call Monday through Friday, as they aren't open on weekends. When you get a hold of someone, immediately ask for a supervisor and ask them to give you a solid answer as to their availability. So, if you can still buy them, I'd highly suggest you do! They are great fun and simply irresistible!

They come with a remote, are packaged nicely and have good power! At this point they've only made Mater, Sally and Lightning McQueen. Since these have been the only characters released since 2006, I don't think they'll be releasing others until the sequel is released in 2012. It would be cool to see Sarge or Red released. I'm sure many of you would love to see other characters as well. They retail for $19.99 and I'm trying to confirm if they are still available online, as I have confirmed they can't be purchased at Radio Shack stores any longer. If you can still get them online, pick yourself up one, two or all three before the day comes that they do stop being sold.

From Don @ Franchise 22-7173, Orlando's only locally owned RadioShack.

I've researched this for Ken. The RadioShack website was out of date and the webmaster has been notified. The Pixar zipzap items are no longer listed on the website. Select stores still have limited inventory of other zipzap products.(On clearance with price ending with 97 cents. The clearance price is below cost and may not be available at independently owned locations.) The internals may be suitable for replacement parts. -Don
