Attention all Disney·Pixar Cars fans! Did you know that this week (February 8th-16th) has been Disney·Pixar "Cars Week"? Ka-Chow— It's true! To help me celebrate some of my favorite Cars characters and movie moments, Mattel was gracious enough to send me some of their latest toys/products! And of course the celebration wouldn't have been complete without watching all three films. No shame to say they're some of my favorites!
Select retailers are even having some great deals on Cars merch this week, like Target's 3 for $10 diecast singles sale and 40% off select Cars items. At Walmart, select Cars items are 25% off. Who doesn't love a good sale?
I wanted to share the Cars love this week with two of my nephews who enjoy the Cars franchise *maybe* as much as I do. I couldn't keep all this epicness to myself, so today I stopped by with all these awesome Cars surprises! It was the perfect way to spend a cozy day inside away from the cold and we had an absolute blast opening, assembling and playing with these fantastic new toys. Check out all our playtime adventures down below...
Cars 12" Lightning McQueen Kids' Backpack
Made in the shape of Lightning McQueen, this sweet backpack will have kids racing all the way to school like the Piston Cup champ they are. It's perfect for their favorite books, snacks, toys… and more toys. This colorful Cars backpack is a delight from hood to trunk. Available at Target (online HERE) for $14.99.
Cars Piston Cup Race 5-Pack
Check out this brand new "Piston Cup Race" diecast 5-Pack from Mattel! As usual, these are 1:55 scale diecast characters (all have been previously released). This set includes: Wilmar Flattz, Race Official Tom, Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks and the King.
Cars 3 Mini Racers "Derby Racers Series 10-Pack"
I was extra excited to receive this "Derby Racers Series 10-Pack" set from Mattel's "Mini Racers" line! I collected a bunch of of the Cars 3 minis blind bags a couple years back, so these will make fantastic additions. Best part? It includes an exclusive "First Look" Golden Miss Fritter! I'll include a direct Amazon link at the bottom of this post to purchase. Retail price is $19.99
Cars XRS Rocket Racing Super Loop
This XRS Rocket Racing Super Loop track set delivers extreme Cars competition thrills! I haven't collected any of the XRS series cars/playsets, but now I might have to. This thing is EPIC in size (over 3 feet long) and in fun! The kick-back launcher propels your vehicle at super speed—compete on a straight track or flip the diverter and launch into crazy stunts! My nephews literally couldn't get enough of this one. No kidding when I say it's already provided hours of entertainment. Comes with a 1:55 scale plastic XRS Rocket Racer Lightning McQueen (with spinning flames).
Pick this up at Target (in-store or online HERE) for $19.99. I'll be including a direct Amazon link at the bottom of this post.
Cars 3 Rust-Eze Tune-Up Center
With the Rust-eze Tune-Up Center plasyet, kids can get all their diecast cars in race-ready condition in one convenient stop. Ride the lift, gas up at the pump, drive down the ramp and stop by the car wash to put on a sparkling shine for that winners’ circle photo! Kids will love to recreate scenes from the Cars movies and make up their own stories of race prep with this multi-function playset. Connects to the XRS Racing Loop track set above and all other modern Cars play/track sets.
You can also pick this set up at Target for $14.99 (in-store or online HERE). I'll include an Amazon link below for this one as well.
If you're little one is Cars obsessed like we are, then they will LOVE any of these new toys from Mattel! This entire collection is so well-made and so incredibly fun. Consider each item Dan the Pixar Fan (and nephews) tested and approved!
