Well, what an impressive
website! You are definatley the people that I need to speak to about my sons ever growing collection of the
Diecast Cars.
It is his birthday in 3 weeks, and we want to get him some more for his collection, but we
have no real idea how many there are, or which ones we should be looking for.
Please can someone point me
in the right direction for a list of them?
Thankyou!

PS - I am in the UK
Check out the thread called Awesome new toys coming in '07 or just click
acarsmadfansmummy: Welcome to pixar planet. I find it cool that your son is really into Picar’s Cars. Have you
tried an Ebay search? I think they are bound to have something there.
Yeah, what aZnCdn and TSS said. And ebay probably would
be a good place to search for them, although I’m not sure if they’d have the newest ones. I guess they would by
now…
I also collect the diecast cars. I’ll try and make a list of the ones I know
exist:
Single packs:
Springs McQueen
Mater
Sheriff
Hydraulic Ramone (red)
RPM #64
Movie
Moments (two packs, one three pack):
Stanley & Red
& Woody
Then there are also boxes
with three or more cars in them:
Doc Hudson, Sally)
Tippin’ (Lightning McQueen, Mater, Tractor)
Sally)
There can easily be more than these. I don’t know what are or aren’t available in the UK. I’m in
Denmark and the newest wave of cars (Tex Dinoco, Dinoco Chick Hicks, Tongue McQueen, Bling Bling McQueen, RPM
#64, Ferrari F430, Hydraulic Ramone, Fabulous Hudson Hornet w/ red rims) haven’t been released here yet, the
same could go for the UK. Also I haven’t seen the boxes with three or more cars here in Denmark but they could
be available in the UK anyway.
Oh, and these are the diecasts by Mattel. Disney also have a range of
diecast cars. Go to [url]Disney Store UK | Discover and Buy Official Merchandise.
TheLoner : Not to be rude in
any way possible , but the only reason there are FHH with red rims is because people paint the rims , now making
the car less valuable …
yes i collect the cars and keep them in the box ! Why do you ask ? because i
want them to be non sratched forever ! of course , i had to open my FHH car because he’s too cute to keep in
there , and he’s my good luck charm ! ( yeah , i kissed that car 50 times during the last inning of a softball
game , and we won when we were behind by 5 !! )
gottalovepixar: I don’t understand - I have seen mint in package Fabulous Hudson Hornets with red rims on eBay
. I don’t want to post a live auction link but here’s a
picture:
The auction states
that the car is in mint unopened condition and to me the package seem unopened.
But I have seen many cars like that because they paint the rims and say there are
not any fabulous hudson hornet cars with red rims . Remember , people on ebay will
say anything so you will buy their product …
Exactly, my guess is that those sellers who paint the
rims red on a regular Fabulous Hudson Hornet will say in their auction that there isn’t an official red rimmed
FHH so that they can sell their customized FHH. I’m fairly positive that there is a ganuine red rimmed FHH,
he’s just from the newest wave of cars like the McQueen with his tongue out, so he may not be out in a lot of
stores yet 
.
Here are pictures of two more new in package red rimmed FHHs from eBay and all three of them
are from different
sellers:

It could also be that those FHHs you have seen with painted red
rims and where they said that there isn’t an official one with red rims, that that was before the official red
rimmed FHH was released. I actually remember seing an auction like that a while back .
You also have to
think about that Mattel will try and make as many different cars as possible to make money. They know that
obsessed fans and collectors will buy yet another Fabulous Hudson Hornet because he now has red rims instead of
the silver rims
