There is a crazy new Monster Truck release, the Flintmobile!

Also saw a new pop culture vehicle, the Mario Brothers plumbing van.

Not licensed but found a new version of the Braille Twin Mill in green and white.

My friend told me to stop quoting the Monkees. I thought she was joking. But then I saw her face.

Just saw the Braille car in red today.

The finally got around to the Batman and Robin Batmobile.  I've seen it on and off at the grocery for about a month but they've never had one when I had something to buy and I wasn't waiting in those lines for one car.  Went to Walmart this morning and found the re-paint of it already (first release is a nice gloss black, this re-paint is a gloss midnight blue).  Started to panic and went back to the grocery to see if they'd re-stocked and there were none (though they did have the new-ish B:TAS Batmobile which is black with gold pinstripes, very nice) and I was starting to worry but then went across the street to Dollar Tree and found three of them!

I really wish that Mattel would do some more fun DC stuff like take a VW bus and paint it to match Mego's Mobile Batlab and Joker van, make some of the other '66 vehicles (including the villain cars), Robin's Redbird or some of the Batcycles from comics, games and movies.  Was nice getting the first Batmobile in the pop culture assortment but how 'bout the one  with the Bat-tering ram on the hood?... the Super Powers Batmobile?... The Supermobile?... The Invisible Jet?...  The car that was designed for a video game and was built for Bruce Wayne's car in the DCEU?...  Blue Beetle's Bug?... The Arrowmobile?...  The '92 Batmissile?...  The Justice League Action Batmobile?...  The Batman Beyond Batmobile?...  Joker's car from Suicide Squad?...

 

...and the Monkeemobile...  Why is Mattel the only die-cast company to have not made that car?...  WB owns the property and it's not like Mattel doesn't have a good working relationship with them (hell, Mattel made the toys in the 60s when Columbia Pictures was in charge and there was no Monkeemobile then, either)...

My friend told me to stop quoting the Monkees. I thought she was joking. But then I saw her face.

Also found Bumblebee at the grocery.  So weird seeing Mattel and Hasbro logos side-by-side on packaging...

Not sure if this is old or not, but its the first time I've seen it, 

In the "Pop Culture" sub line there is an "Action Comics #1" green car (before it gets crushed by Superman).  I would've picked it up if it wasn't $7.  When it eventually hits the basic line I'll for sure pick one up.

Haven't seen the Action #1 car so I'll guess it's new...  I did find a new Batman Monster Truck.  I think it's based on the Tumbler but I need to look at it better, didn't have the time at the store.  Also finally found the Matchbox Indiana Jones Tangiers Tuk Tuk vehicle but it's on the half card so I'm still looking for the normal size one.
