Disney has Re- Released CARS on Blu Ray now with added content, 4 discs (one Blu Ray Disk,One DVD disk, 1 With Exclusive content , and one for a digital copy download), As well as 2 exclusive diecast cast CARS exclusive to this BLU RAY release. You get a Gold Cruisin McQueen and a Ransburg Rescue Squad Mater.
And the little story behind them from the back of the packaging:
Target has gained some more exclusive packaging for the Piston Cup Racers. There are 3 newer 4 packs out. One includes Fiber Fuel and Spare Mint, another has Trunk Fresh and View Zeen, and another I can’t remember the assortment. In these newer 4 packs will be integrated “Lenticular” CARS as you will se in the 2nd 4 pack. a nice tough for those that hadn’t caught these in the singles market or packaged launchers. I think the window box packaging really makes these sets.
The Lenticular set:
The Disney Store has continued their 1:43 scale CARS 2 packs with the newest edition of CARS TOON vehicles. These 2 packs do not light up however they look terrific in their window box packaging. The newest offerings include El Materdor, Mater The Greater, Missile McQueen, and El Materdor’s sidekick McQueen. Detailing is done very well as you can see in the pictures.
Skelanimals have been a growing item of interest for younger kids. I came across this vinyl set during a Halloween clearance at a loca store. I figured for the 97 cents each wasn’t a bad pickup. Gisselle can definitely find a place for this in here growing toy collection.
I recently found a few cool 1:50 scale Batman vehicles. The bat wing (which I remember having the larger scale version when I was alot younger) and the newest DARK KNIGHT vehicle the Bat Pod. Bot very cool icons for Movie vehicles. And they were definitely transformed very well into smaller diecast models.
While browsing on the net I came across these Yujin Japanese capsule toys. All the piece come separated as you have to put them together from the 4 sections of Mack’s trailer,to the wheels as well as the decals for the small cars. It took a little patience to get everything put on and together but it came out alright.
Each compartment of Mack’s trailer comes with a thin plastic piece that acts as a launcher when you insert it into the rear of each car. You pinch the end and the car zooms straight ahead.
I had a cheap score on ebay for this Nissan Skyline Bayside Blue Z Tune model. Very nice model for the money!
Gisselle turned the big 6 this year. And sadly I had to go to work and wasn’t able to spend the whole day with her. Before I left for work, she got her Tinkerbell cake (which I ran around half a day trying to find the specific kit for the cake 2 days prior). She got here bday gifts and off to work I went. Seemed pretty stoked when I got home in the morning. Happy Birthday big girl!
We were lucky to get a very friendly invite for Thanksgiving from a friends family. That friend is currently at Fort Hood , Texas serving his country in the Army. As every holiday the Merritt’s shoot us very kind invites to their family festivities. And we always have a GREAT time. This one was no different. We had GREAT food, GREAT conversations, and a GREAT time overall. We can’t thank them enough!

I had gotten the heads up about Estevan Oriol’s LA WOMAN book release via NOBUENO.COM (linked in my blog roll to the right). And also read up on it via Estevan’s blog also on the right side in my blog roll. I pre-ordered it via Amazon and patiently waited its arrival. Once I received it the photos inside are amazing . Being able to see the skill of Estevan’s finger/eye tandem in catching brilliant photos definitely makes me want to follow and learn that same skill. Each photo seems to tell a story (one I don’t know but am sure is interesting). The moments, attitude,dedication and sincerity in every shot is breath taking. I am glad to have had an opportunity to see the beautiful women of Los Angeles through Estevan’s Lens. If you have a chance check it out and purchase this book. As above it is titled LA WOMAN by Estevan Oriol, published by Drago. You can check out thelastlaugh.com(or click the blogroll link to the right and follow the directions to order a copy) and cop a signed copy by the man himself as well as possibly grab a few of his kick ass shirts.
