Cars: Lost in the Desert Mini & Van 2-pack

Cars Van and Mini lost in the desert

Here we have yet another brand new Disney·Pixar Cars release...Lost in the Desert Mini and Lost in the Desert Van movie moments 2-pack! I've been having some fantastic luck lately finding the latest Cars releases. I'm completely caught up for the year as of now! There was lull for a month or two there earlier this year, but now things seem to be back in full swing; found this one at Walmart this morning.

As usual, these are 1:55 scale diecasts from Mattel and are numbers 16/19 and 17/19 of the 2015 "Radiator Springs" sub-series.

Van and Mini are of course first seen in Cars when they come rolling through Radiator Springs lost and looking for the freeway entrance. Van humorously denies wanting to use a map or ask for directions (classic male stereotype). What you might not have known is that they are both seen again at the very end of the film (after the end credits, screen shot above) lost, dirty and wondering in the desert. It's a hilarious little gag that a lot of people have missed!

These cars are great. I love the dust and dirt paint job, their crazed expressions and all the weeds/brush popping out of Van's luggage carrier. This is a very fun and unique release.
