die casts from the Cars movie....

Well, apparently everyone else does too because I can't find them ANYWHERE! I see the more popular ones around but there are about 16 in existence and I find myself going nuts looking for these things. I actually caved in and bought two off of Ebay the other day (rarer ones), but for $15 each! They retail for around $5. If he wasn't so enthralled with these things, I'd never do it. After all, I always promised myself I wouldn't be the type of mother to jump and buy the latest thing all the time or the toys my kids beg for for no reason. Oops....

Calimama replied: LOL, the things we do for our kids.

CantWait replied: Yes you said that, but it's not the latest thing really, it's something he truly wants. That's a great mommy.

My aunt just found some die cast cars at Target near Denver and a firend of mine found some at a Wal-Mart Super Center in South Carolina. This was all in the last week. They seem to still be there, but getting harder to find.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Matt is obcessed with them too...and the ones MIL bought him for christmas are cheap and breaking. I wish I would have known that 3 months ago so I could hav ebought more when they were actually in stores still.
His other new one is little Gi joe type guys. teh ones he has came with other stuff (trucks, helicoptor etc.) but it's the guys he loves and I can't find the right kids by themselves anywhere.

It's so fun being a mom

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Logan has all but 3. We're missing DJ, Lizzie and the yellow Ramone. My sister found most of them in her Walmart in Texas. I've only added the dirt track Lightening and Dinoco Lightening. Logan loves them, too.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm going thru the same thing, Bria. Ethan's birthday is tomorrow and the only ones I have are lightening and sally. Our Target is completely out of most of them. I'm hoping they get a shipment in this week, before his party on Sunday.

Brias3 replied: Glad to hear I'm not the only one!! I found two at Boston Store (Carson's or Bergner's for some) randomly a few months back (Doc Hudson and Luigi) but the others I'm turning to Ebay for, even though I LOVE paying $15+ for a five inch car

hawkshoe replied: My son loves them too. We have them all except the yellow Ramone and dirt track Lightening. I have found them at Target, WalMart and KB Toys. You have to look constantly because when they get them in, they often only get one or two of the popular ones and they sell out quickly.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Here's a couple pictures of Logan's collection. I can't stand the Guido car. He's smaller than a quarter and stepping on him hurts!!

A&A'smommy replied: so funny!!!

Brias3 replied:
Oh, my....I am SO glad Mason wasn't near the computer when your pictures popped up! He'd be LOVING Logan's collection right now

I hate that little Guido too! Plus, the version we have came with a small flag and a little red, green and white wig too that I'm constantly finding EVERYWHERE.
