Disney Pixar Cars Kmart Collectors Day 10/18/08

Mattel will be partnering with Kmart on October 18, 2008 for a Disney Pixar Cars "Collectors Day!" Similar to the Hot Wheels events they've done with Kmart, collectors can go to Kmart with the expectation of seeing Brand NEW releases, raffles and fun!

Here are the Cars die cast toys we can expect to see...

Edwin Kranks will be the first of what I've coined,
the "Old Route 66 Days" characters released.

Fred will be released in his New, smaller scale size.
I don't believe he will be the Fred with Bumper Stickers Chase version.
But, you never know!

Get ready to see "Shiny Wax," a.k.a. Darren Leadfoot, Car #82!

You'll also meet "Sputter Stop," a.k.a. Murray Clutchburn, Car #92!

"Transberry Juice," a.k.a. Lee Revkins, Car #63 will be stopping by!

You'll clearly see "View Zeen," a.k.a. Ryan Shields, Car #39 on the 18th!

"Spare O Mint," a.k.a Ernie Gearson, Car #93 will freshen up your day!

You know I'll be there! I'll report how things went and let you know any other details leading up to the big day!

Disney's Pin Celebration Unveils New Cars Pin Bag

I just attended the Annual Disney Pin Celebration at Epcot. Since things have been slow, I know many of you also collect Disney pins and would be interested in this news. I saw that Disney will be releasing a New Pin Bag with Cars characters Lightning McQueen and Mater on the cover.

Disney will also be releasing a starter set with four pins and a lanyard. They'll be doing something different with the New starter set. Instead of just two different pin designs, there will be four different pins. I wasn't told what they'll be, or when they will be released. As with past starter sets, it will be an open edition set.

You rarely see Disney Pixar Cars pins and accessories. These items should start appearing in the next few months.
