Now I officially have Barney Stormin and Dale in my possession! I know I said I got them before, but really my mom did and she was saving them for Easter. So while I knew they were bought, I didnt really have them yet 
I’m sorry, does that make sense?
Has anyone else seen those Radiator Springs Mini Adventures? They come in 2 packs with tiny cars (usually with different paint jobs, some that werent even in the movie). I got a couple for Easter and they’re actually quite cute 
Yes, and there’s a Screaming Banshee set coming out in a few weeks for them…
I’m buying them for my diecasts, but I do have the Easter exclusive minis.
also, I’m CollectoroftheCars on another great site, carsthetoys.yuku.com/, which has all my recent collecting information. I reccomend it for all collectors.
Cool. I’ll have to check that site out. I dont remember all the new ones that were supposed to come out this year.
I just recently got my first one of these. Radiator Springs McQueen. Found it at Target and got it on a whim (came to get a Transformers, but they didn’t have it) I’d like to find a Mater one a some point.
I found a couple rarer ones that I couldnt find here! (who knew I had to travel all the way to Disney World to find them) I found Chuki, the Japanese car at a Hollywood Studios gift shop near the Pixar area, and Lightning Ramone at a local toy store. Actually Disney World had quite a few gift shops with those cars.
I’d like to see the Governor Schwarzenegger Hummer! Have they made that one? 
I forget. I thought they did. But I’ve never seen one so I dont remember…

Not sure if this has been posted, but here’s a list or new Cars show at Comicon 2008. On the bottom are links to pictures as well.
Definitely want a Pizza Planet truck 
They say his name is Todd. Wonder where that came from.
Todd the Pizza Planet truck? okay.
I’ll have to check out what the new die casts will be, so thanks for letting us know!
Well it’s there now. I believe that the “Todd” name for Pizza Planet Truck came from the Car Finder feature on the Cars Blu Ray DVD.
Personally I don’t care what they named him, I want at least 2 of him! One to display with Cars and the other to display with the Eve Movie Scenes figures.
I actually saw some of the pitties (including Not Chuck) at a card show at the mall last weekend…

I got some more for Christmas, including a couple I’d been looking for, for a long time, including DJ (my missing DRH! I had the 3 others except for him) and Dinoco Chick. I also got Old School Ramone and Lightning Storm McQueen!
Only just noticed this topic… I don’t have many, mainly cause I’m focusing on the particular ones I want,
So far I have
Buzz Lightyear
Woody
Hamm
Mickey
Sully Truck
Yeti
I Need to get PT Flea and his set of cars, did see the double pack with PT and Flick but stopped myself for some reason…
I want to then start getting the Vast Numbers of Lightning
This isnt exactly a die cast but it’s somewhat related. I’m not sure how long these have been around, but at the Disney store a couple weeks ago I saw plushies of the Buzz Lightyear car. First time I’ve ever seen that!
I finally found Mia and Tia! I’ve been looking for at least a year and was dead set against buying from any ebay scalpers. And a random trip to target, there they are! The red ones specifically. I’d seen plenty of Dinoco blue and Bling sets.
And boy is Sally pissed.
Now I just gotta wait for the Pizza Planet truck. That’s the only other one I want.
I’m slightly excited. There are several Pizza Planet trucks trickling onto eBay So that means they’re working their way into stores too. Went to the local Target and Walmart hoping I might get lucky but not so, but now I know to keep my eyes out.
Gah, nevermind. They’re “pre-release” auctions, but still they should be out soon.
Well with another holiday comes another opportunity to get more cars! 
I got the fighter jet, Marco, in my Easter basket yesterday. It’s one of the Cars Mega Size ones, so yeah he’s slightly larger than normal.
