00:00Okay, so if you grew up watching Lightning McQueen tear around Radiator Springs,
00:04or if you've got a kid who makes you re-watch Cars 3 every single weekend, this one's for you.
00:09I went down a serious rabbit hole hunting for the best Pixar Cars diecast toys out there,
00:13the ones that actually feel good in your hand and don't fall apart after a week.
00:18These are my top 5, and honestly, the prices on a couple of these genuinely surprised me.
00:24Let's get into it.
00:26Starting off with the Storm Jackson and Mack truck set, this is the one that made me go
00:30whoa, that's cool. You're getting the 155 scale Mack hauler alongside Lightning McQueen and Jackson
00:36Storm, all in that classic diecast metal build. If you've ever tried to recreate the race scenes
00:41from Cars 3, the Mack is kind of essential, it just ties the whole collection together.
00:46It's 11 bucks, which for a hauler plus Cars is honestly a steal,
00:50and nearly 5,000 people have bought it with a 4.9 rating.
00:54If you're building a display shelf, start here.
00:58Next up, and this is the one I'd call the best value on the whole list, the Cars 3,
01:02155 diecast vehicle with the full metal alloy bodywork.
01:07$3.72.
01:09That's it.
01:11And it's not cheap holoplastic, it's actual metal with real weight to it,
01:15so when you set it down on a shelf it sits right.
01:18Almost $4,800 sold, 4.9 stars.
01:21Look, at this price you can just grab three or four different characters and build out your
01:26collection without even thinking about it. It's kind of a no-brainer.
01:31Now if you're buying for a kid rather than a display case, pay attention to this one.
01:36It's the big wheel off-road version, Modder, Lightning McQueen, and Jackson Storm, but with
01:40chunky oversized tires and a pullback motor inside. You pull it back, let it go, and it takes off.
01:47My nephew spent about 45 minutes just launching these across the kitchen floor.
01:5310.66, 4.9 rating, over 4,500 sold.
01:57The oversized wheels also mean they actually handle carpet and grass, which most diecast
02:02cars just, don't.
02:04Fourth up is the Mini Cars 2 and 3 diecast set, and this is the one for the completionists.
02:10Sheriff, Lizzie, Sally, Chick Hicks, The King, Fritter, Dinoco, all the deep-cut characters
02:15you never find in stores. It's the only product on this list sitting at a perfect 5-star rating,
02:21which tells you something. $4.16 each.
02:26If you've got the main characters already but your shelf feels empty, these side characters
02:30are exactly what fills it out. And they're solid metal, not the flimsy stuff.
02:36And rounding out the list, the Cars 2 and 3 ally set with Lightning McQueen, Modder, Sheriff,
02:41Flow, Doc Hudson, and Red. This is basically the Radiator Springs Starter Pack.
02:47Doc Hudson especially, that Hudson Horned Blue is beautiful in person, and Red the firetruck
02:53is way harder to find than you'd think.
02:55For 99, 4.9 stars, 3,000 plus sold.
02:59If you want one purchase that gives you a proper little town scene rather than just random cars,
03:04this is the one I'd point you to.
03:07Alright, that's my top 5. All the links are down in the description below,
