Thread for anyone collecting the diecast cars from the movie:Cars

[Icedragon]

Have started picking these up for my 3-year old. He love Cars, and we've worn out the DVD he got for an Xmas gift.

He's been asking for the Snowplow? I picked up the Mike and Sulley 2-pack thinking that's what he wanted, but alas Dad was "wrong!" I haven't seen this on the back of the packaging, is there a snowplow car?

Yes, it's based on the abominable snow man character from Monsters Inc. I think the Abominable Snow Plow is what it's called. It has tracks on it - neat looking thing.

interesting. thanks for the post as I tend to fly past the mcqueens

I've been wanting the Ramone with the yellow lightning bolts for awhile but I could only find it in a three pack. I didn't want to pay $15.00 just to get it. Today we went to Sears and I found it single packed. I didn't even know Sears had a toy department. LOL!! I didn't know it came single packed. Does anyone know when it was released like that? I also picked an extra one up too because they only had two.

Sears got a larger toy department when they purchased KMart

The toy department at this Sears was small. Maybe 4 aisles about 12 feet long and 5 feet high.

Could be an actual Sears toy dept then. They always had them but with really unpopular toys.

Yeah, it was just a fluke that we decided to walk into Sears today.
