18 years of releases. Every era. Every variant. The most comprehensive Pixar Cars diecast database ever assembled.
Since June 2006, Mattel has released thousands of Disney Pixar Cars diecast toys. Different packaging. Different series. Different countries. Keeping track became impossible — until now.
This complete Pixar Cars checklist organizes every release by era, from the original Desert Series through today's modern releases. Whether you're hunting specific variants, valuing your collection, or just curious how deep this hobby goes, you'll find answers here.
The original Pixar Cars diecast line that launched alongside the June 2006 film. Desert Art Series packaging with tan card art featuring Route 66 landscape. The 12-back cards are most valuable. These releases defined what a Disney Pixar Cars diecast would become.
The Supercharged era expanded the Cars universe beyond the main cast. New Piston Cup racers, Radiator Springs variants, and characters that barely appeared on screen. This series proved the collecting community wanted depth.
The golden era of Pixar Cars collecting. Mattel released characters from every corner of the Cars universe — background characters, international variants, obscure cameos. Collectors call this the "deep cut" era.
International spy intrigue brought World Grand Prix racers, secret agents, and villains. New countries, new characters, new collecting opportunities. The line expanded globally with regional exclusives.
The Cars universe expanded skyward. While Planes had its own line, crossover characters and airport-themed Cars releases connected both worlds. A transitional era for collectors.
The emotional conclusion brought next-generation racers, Thunder Hollow demolition derby, and the most significant new characters since the original. Cruz Ramirez, Jackson Storm, and the Fabulous Lightning McQueen.
Disney+ brought Cars on the Road, anniversary collections celebrated the legacy, and Mattel continues releasing new variants. The collecting never stops.

Major series include: Desert Series (2006), Supercharged (2006-07), World of Cars (2008-10), Cars 2 (2011-12), Cars 3 (2017-18), and Modern Era (2019-present). Each has distinct packaging and character focus.
Yes! Early releases (2006-2010) are increasingly valuable as supply dwindles. Desert Series and World of Cars era releases command premiums, especially mint-on-card examples with original packaging.
