Disney Pixar Cars - Darth Mater Selling Price A Disappointment!

I talked to a good friend from Mattel this morning and was told that Darth Mater sold for a paltry $10,000! I am certainly shocked, amazed and disappointed! This was one of the most unique pieces I've ever seen. Where were the heavy hitters? Why didn't Lucas or Lasseter bid on it?

If you were fortunate enough to see Darth in person like I did, you'd have been amazed at the quality, workmanship, and creativity behind the one-of-a-kind collectible! Hell, if I had ten grand, I would have gladly paid it to get Darth Mater! I can tell you this much...Collectors want a small version of him. I've said that Mattel should absolutely make a version for MattyCollector.com within the next year! If they don't, they'll miss the boat. Collectors love this costumed version of Mater.

I feel the amount he sold for could almost be deemed insulting. It had to be a shock to the Children Affected by Aids Foundation as well. They were really counting on these bids to help the organization financially. Well, as the saying goes, "Wait until next year!"
