That can't be right. The haulers and order you listed doesn't mesh with any of the info that's already out there. Including on confirmed and shipping cases...
Chunk, I got this info directly from a Mattel insider off specific release sheets. Realize a couple of things. First, Mattel constantly changes the mixes, they rarely stay the same. Second, info told to Mattel Sales Reps and passed to Sellers/Retailers can be erroneous and often is out of date. Finally, as we've all become sadly aware, we can rarely count on things coming out when reported. I post these things and tell everyone to take it with a grain of salt.
If your insiders info proves to be true, then that's great. My daughter really wants "pink Mack". :D
I've just seen resellers who have the Octain Gain and Leakless Haulers already.
If you remember, we expected to see the Haulers a few months ago and never did. So, The First two mixes are apparently starting to finally show up in drips here and there. It seems like everything went to hell when we hit September.
orlandog ken,
As you are well aware of thing's here at Mattel change on a weekly basis as far as roll out mixes go.
It ain't over till Lasseter says it is. Let me recheck this list here at Mattel and see just how out of date it is........ We are only doing about 200 brand new die cast Characters so sometimes I may get a little messed up.
My bad.
It is Pete Valdez. It is one of the truck at the truckstop and he has "PV" on his "forehead".
Any idea which are "Blue Hauler" and "Yellow Tanker" ?
Scooby, I think people had coffee on their mind! I believe I saw a screen capture of a blue faced truck that is probably Blue Hauler, and from what I was told, the Yellow Tanker appears to be a gasoline truck with one of those tubular tanks. I may have seen him in a screen capture as well.
I definitely have to watch the movie again. It has been more than a year now. To much relying on screen shots on great sites as this one ;-)
I think I've got the blue hauler. It is on this screen shot together with Paul Valdez

Which also shows it should be Paul Valdez, not Pete.
And is that the yellow tanker on the right ?
I was confusing him with Jerry Recycled Batteries. They look very similar. So, I guess it is Paul. That could be the Blue Hauler to our left, and that could be the Yellow Tanker, although it doesn't look like a tubular tank is attached to him. But, for now it won't matter because those two were just confirmed to be changed! Now, 3/1/09 will be Tow Cap Hauler and 9/1/09 will be Fiber Fuel Hauler.
Ken,
I watched the movie again. For the first time in about 2 years. And I'm pretty sure the Blue Hauler and the Yellow Tanker are the ones you see driving behind eachother at the end of the film during the end titles (epilogue).
Let's see if these will be released anyhow.
Scooby, There's a high likelihood they will be if they were on the Master List. Mattel wouldn't have them on that list if they weren't going to production. It will probably just be off in the distant future.
