6 Ways to Find the Rare Cars Collectibles

Here is a suggestion as to where you can find CARS collectibles - online and offline.

1) Big Lots & Odd Lots Discount Stores - I continue to find some CARS diecast toys at the local discount Big Lots - in some areas they are called Odd Lots. And the best part is that they are cheap. Now I have yet to find the complete set of the MATTEL CARS 1:64 model diecast toys, I have found a number of them and still very cheap. So it might be worth a visit or two to your local discount Big Lots - just to see what CARS Merchandise and toys they might still have in stock.

2) Yahoo Auctions - you know that there is another auction site out there besides ebay. There is much less competition on the yahoo auction site and fewer products. But it is worth checking out, I have seen several CARS auctions up there on a daily basis.

3) www.hotdealspotter.com - a website that is set to sift through all the ebay auctions and lists only those related to Disney Pixar Cars items. It also shows auction items ending right then an there. This gives you a great chance to grap last minute auctions with no bids on them. I have scored several McDonald's Happy Meal complete sets for a good price.

4) Ebay Australia - Another great place to locate and buy CARS Collectibles - whether it is the Mattel series or the McDonald's Happy Meal CARS Promotion- check out Ebay Australia -
eBay is Australia's leading online market place


There are a lot of great auctions for the McDonald's Happy Meal CARS Promotion. Many sellers will ship to the USA and as long as you are using paypal to pay for the purchase, the currency exchange is not a problem - Paypal will do that for you. And as long as you already have an ebay account, you can shop all the ebay country sites. And it can be worth it because you can find some pretty cool and unusual CARS merchandise from the different ebay country sites and it is so easy to shop at these other sites yet so few people do. Some pointers before you do visit the other ebay sites - make sure that the seller will ship to the US, that you have a paypal account and that you are aware of the currency exchange an Australian dollar is not the same as an American dollar. Again shopping these other sites can be well worth it.


5) Amazon.com
Another great place to find CARS merchandise, toys, diecast toys, bedding and even clothing is on Amazon - you will be amazed at how many items you can find new and used on this site. Again people forget that this site is out there - I search amazon regularly for some of the CARS merchandise and the nice thing is you don't have to wait for an auction to end. I was pleasantly surprised to find several of the Dinoco Blue Lightning McQueens and the Fast Talking Lightning McQueen for great prices. I provided an amazon.com search box - just type in pixar cars or disney pixar cars or even Lightning McQueen and you'll get a list of items for sale - again new and used.



6) Online store - Allaboardtoys.com
Allaboardtoys.com - has some unusual, high quality Cars merchandise & toys. I am not sure where they get their stuff, but they sell some great toys that I have not seen elsewhere. They only sell new stuff.

www.allaboardtoys.com -
. They sell alot of new toys that you just can't find anywhere else. They have a whole Disney Pixar CARS department. I have always been impressed the the quality of the toys that they carry. They also great shipping discounts as well. Well worth the visit to see what stuff they are offering for Halloween and even the holiday season.
