We are well aware that this seems to have taken forever… But we finally got our first cases toys from Disney and Pixar’s summer animated film Cars 2. All of your favourite characters are in there from the new movie just in time for the beginning of the Christmas season. The DVD will be released November 8th, 2011.

Cars 2 Plot from wikipedia:

Four-time Piston Cup champion race car Lightning McQueen returns home to Radiator Springs and reunites with best friend Mater and girlfriend Sally Carrera. Former oil tycoon Miles Axlerod, now a green power advocate, announces a racing series called the “World Grand Prix”, as a means to promote Allinol biofuel. Although McQueen initially refuses to participate, Italian formula race car Francesco Bernoulli‘s challenge, as well as Mater’s intervention, leads McQueen to enter the Grand Prix. At Sally’s urging, McQueen agrees to take Mater with him, only to have the tow truck embarrass him repeatedly in Japan with his jovially ignorant antics.

Cars 2 Plot from Toys on Fire Staff:

McQueen and Mater go to Japan. Hilarity ensues.

A Trailer for your viewing pleasure!

So what excites you this summer in theatres? Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern) perhaps? I would have to say that I have very high hopes for Marvel’s Captain America, especially since they have really raised the bar a notch when it comes to Comic book movies. DC had better step up their game because the Watchmen just didn’t do it for me, or the box office for that matter. Though they definitely made a hit with The Dark Knight. Thor was pretty awesome, but I think that one is just a warm up to the things we are going to see this summer. The DC/Marvel battle continues on.

Transformers 3 is a tempting flick also, with Michael Bay doing his action packed epic deal and a new female lead. I have a very big soft spot for the Transformers toys, comics, movies… everything. I should also mention that if you are interested in this one we will be having a movie party for Transformers 3 at our store on July 6th. Click here for details.

On the other hand Cars 2, by Disney and Pixar, can’t be bad. It’s impossible. Well maybe it is, but I cant imagine that thing not being amazing. Especially after seeing the first Cars film and the recent Toy Story 3 *sheds a tear*.

Let us know what you think this summer! Vote and leave a comment below!

Hey guys,

I’ve got exciting news for history buffs and Lego enthusiasts! The Canada Science and Technology Museum have setup a new exhibit called Wheels, Wings and Waves – A LEGO® History of Transportation. It’s an exhibit about the different methods of transportation we have made over the ages, with a twist… it’s all done in Lego! They’ve got a bunch of crazy Lego models there, including an F1 car, model of the Titanic, and even a space shuttle!

So if you get a chance, check out the Canada Science and Technology Museum!
