My son bought his first Die Cast Lightning McQueen car at MGM last year one month prior to the "Cars" premiere. Since then, they have been found at every Wal-Mart on the planet, and we have diligently collected the entire first series and nearly all of the second series - just four more to go! When they had all the big lead paint scares in the last month, the Sarge car was included in the recall (some of them anyway). Wal-Mart, Target, etc. took ALL 60 of the Cars off the shelves - even though only Sarge was recalled!?! :confused3

We are leaving for the World in one week - just wondered if anyone on the DIS knew if these collector cars could still be found down at the parks? We are going to be in super sleuth mode if they are!!

BTW - if anyone has Tex, Tongue McQueen, Bling McQueen or Yeti at anything less than $15 :sad2: for a toy that has a MSRP of $3.49, please PM me!
 
My son just bought all the new ones you listed at the new Walmart in Milford CT so they are not taking them off all the Walmart shelves. I did notice at Target though that they have nothing except the shake and go cars, all the small ones are gone. I thought they might have sold out though, I didn't ask a sales rep.
I can't promise but I am going to Milford on Monday and if they have any of the new ones I will pick them up for you and you can pay me what they cost plus shipping.
I am going to be at the parks from Sept 22 to Oct 5. If you are there then you can save shipping and I will bring them with me.
I will let you know Monday night what I found.

we were at disney and the 2nd day we were there the recall came out. well, there were cars everywhere up until we left for home. plenty of sarge's too. actually, we didn't have sarge and i didn't buy him becaue he was so plentiful. as far as others, we found
Bling bling MQ
Tex
Tongue MQ
New mater
RPM
Dinaco Chick
Ferrari
Yeti


and others i can't recall. i think your best bet is the resorts or downtown disney. although the big toy store in epcot had a bunch too.

the bad news, they are 6 bucks in the world.

I was just in the World and they had a lot of the Cars. Looked for RPM as that is the one I'd like to get for my nephews but did not see it. As mentioned above they are $6 in WDW but it still beats e-bay.
 
I sent you a PM but it was bad news. I checked two Walmarts, a Target and ToysRUs and they were all sold out of the new toys. The only thing left was Sally and Sheriff.
I asked the manager at ToysRUs and they said they don't expect another shipment of Cars stuff till just before Thanksgiving. I am assuming that the other stores are on the same delivery since they all got the new shipment last week.
I am so sorry but if you see them at WDW you might want to grab them since they sell out so quickly everywhere.
 
DS is also trying for the entire collection. He started collecting right before the film was released.

We were at WDW this past weekend and there are signs posted at the registers about Sarge being recalled. Plenty of other cars were available, but none of the newer ones DS was looking for.
 
Just got back from the World and yes the cars are around, the best selection I found was at Once Upon a Toy, over the course of my trip I only found 3-4 of the cars from the new series..ferrari, tongue mcqueen, and red ramone.
 
Just wanted to update everyone....we found two of the cars - Tex and Bling McQueen - while we were at WDW last week. We looked at absolutely every store that we passed by and kept finding the original series. Finally found those two at the gift shop at the Poly. Unfortunately, we found them after DS was having a meltdown in Ohanas. And, hubby bought them anyway, which only reinforced the bad behavior. :confused:

Then we go look at Amazon after we get back and lo and behold....Disney has now introduced series #3! Guess we have more hunting to do in the upcoming months!
 
I was wondering, is there a "master list" we have all of series 1 most of series 2 (I think) and Just picked up a couple from series 3.
 
I have compiled what I think is an up to date list of all 67 different Cars. If anyone wants a copy e-mail me, domthirteen at cox dot net. It's in Word format but I can send it out as text or convert it to a pdf at work.
