The Cars franchise continues to capture the imaginations of kids year in and year out with compelling products and content, delivering new adventures such as the Cars Toon series of shorts airing on Disney Channel.  The Toys"R"Us Product Development and Merchandising teams worked together with the Disney Consumer Products team to develop a specialty product that offers kids' favorite characters in real wood with vibrant colors and innovative functionality.  The resulting Disney-Pixar Cars Wood Collection captures amazing details to deliver high play value for kids and striking aesthetics for collectors.

The Disney-Pixar Cars Wood Collection products are priced from $16.99 to $49.99 and include:

Disney – Pixar Cars Wood Collection Vehicle 2-Packs

Kids can collect all of their favorite Cars characters in special 2-pack sets, including favorites like: Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen and Sally; Doc Hudson and Dusty Lightning McQueen; Fillmore and Sarge; Flo and Ramone; Mater and Hudson Hornet Doc; The King and Chick Hicks; Dinoco McQueen and Tex; and Wingo and Boost.  Additionally, the following Disney-Pixar Cars Wood Collection Vehicle 2-Packs will be available exclusively at Toys"R"Us this spring: DJ and Snot Rod; Cruisin' Lightning McQueen and Ramone; Tractor and Young Tow Mater; Red and Guido.

Luigi's Casa Della Tires Playset

Little ones can work with Luigi at his Casa Della Tires to make sure the residents of Radiator Springs are ready for their next road trip. While visiting Luigi's, kids can spin his tower of tires, stop by the air pump for a "fill up," or crank-up the vehicles onto the mechanic's ramp for a quick tune-up before launching them onto the track.  This playset includes a Luigi vehicle.

Tow Mater's Yard Playset

Kids can join Lightning McQueen's pal, Mater as he pulls and hauls cars into his home base – Tow Mater Towing and Salvage.  From there, kids can use the working crane to grab, lift, swing and drop the vehicles into the fenced-in tow yard or head out into Radiator Springs through the quick-escape ramp that exits through the garage.  This playset includes a Mater vehicle.

Sheriff's Race 'n Chase Track Set

Cars fans will be delighted to relive one of the film's classic scenes – when Lightning McQueen first raced through Radiator Springs frantically searching for Mack with Sheriff hot on his bumper!  Kids can race through the set, knock down a row of cones and topple a tower of Luigi's tires.  This set includes a special edition metallic Lightning McQueen vehicle, a Sheriff vehicle, a Radiator Springs billboard sign for Sheriff to hide behind, a race 'n chase ramp, interchangeable track pieces and four tires.
