  • What Cars items have you not seen in stores?

    We've had some discussion in Recent Finds for June 2013, so I thought I'd post a topic here... What Cars items have you not seen in stores?

    Here's my list:

    Super Chase Long Ge, Bindo and Prince Wheeliam - the singles from 2012 case H.
    Super Chase Flash - some Big Lots stores got in singles 2012 case G, but Flash was gone - thanks to Big Lots, I finally saw Chase Officer Murakarmi in a store.

    Chase Fabrizio, Chase Sir Harley Gassup, Chase Alex Vandel, Otis, Suki (2012 cardback), Nick Cartone - the singles from 2012 case P and N (same as P minus Super Chase Cars)

    2013 singles from case G and newer

    Deluxe:
    Materhosen, Francesco Fan Mater, Elvis (2013 cardback), Dustin Mellows (2013 cardback).. and yes, I too have never seen The Queen in a store (only Funny Car Mater and Kiumura Kaizo).

    Target 4 packs - I've never seen the Alloy Hemberger 4 pack and have never seen the Mama Bernoulli 4 pack.

    TRU Radiator Springs Classic - I've never seen Nick Stickers in a store.

    I think I've now seen everything else that has been released in the US in stores... and I have almost everything listed above from PCD supporter JMDL Toys and great PCD members and members of the Cars community.

    I also have been fortunate to acquire from friends items that have never been released in the US.

          Oh, this is a great question! Regional distribution is a CRAZY THING! My area is traditionally very good if I am an patient and timely. In the last year, there are a few I can think of that I never saw in the wild. Without help from friends, I would have never added them to my collection or the collections of others:

          Galloping Gear Grinder
          Prince Wheeliam
          Bindo
          Super Chase Cars

          A few cars I remember only seeing ONE TIME in the wild over the last year:

          Sir Harley
          Fabrizio
          Cartney Brakin'

              After today's 190 mile Cars hunt and a shorter trip on Friday, I can now cross the following off my list of Cars that I've never seen in stores...

              2013 singles from case G - I've now seen Darrell Cartrip with headset and Edwin Kranks but not Sputter Stop, Mama Topolino, and Chase Miles.

              Deluxe: I've now seen Materhosen, Francesco Fan Mater (just one, one time), Elvis (2013 cardback) and Dustin Mellows (2013 cardback) - I've never seen The Queen in a store (only Funny Car Mater and Kiumura Kaizo).

              TRU Radiator Springs Classic - I've now seen Nick Stickers in a store.

                  After 5 trips to Indianapolis for training last week and a trip to Meijer Saturday morning (1000 miles driven in 6 days meant I didn't feel like going on a Cars and/or Planes hunt Saturday), I can now cross the following off my list of Cars that I've never seen in stores...

                  2013 singles from case G - I've now seen Darrell Cartrip with headset, Sputter Stop, Mama Topolino and Edwin Kranks but not Chase Miles.

                  I am still waiting on case H and newer singles.

                  Deluxe: I've now seen Materhosen, Francesco Fan Mater (just one, one time), Elvis (2013 cardback) and Dustin Mellows (2013 cardback) - I've never seen The Queen in a store (only Funny Car Mater and Kiumura Kaizo).

                  I haven't seen any Planes anywhere but TRU and Target (no singles there) - no sign of Planes at Walmart, Kmart, or Meijer.

                  And jestrjef - if posting what I haven't seen in a store is all I need to make it happen, I'll post here frequently!

                          I can now cross Chase Miles with Hood off my list - I found one at an Indianapolis Target store yesterday:



                          I've also now seen (and left) the new Target 7 pack with Chauncy Fares:


                          So my updated list of what I haven't seen in stores:

                          Super Chase Long Ge, Bindo and Prince Wheeliam - the singles from 2012 case H.
                          Super Chase Flash

                          Chase Fabrizio, Chase Sir Harley Gassup, Chase Alex Vandel, Otis, Suki (2012 cardback), Nick Cartone - the singles from 2012 case P and N (same as P minus Super Chase Cars)

                          2013 singles from case H and newer

                          Deluxe:
                          I have never seen The Queen in a store (only Funny Car Mater and Kiumura Kaizo).

                          Target 4 packs - I still haven't seen the Alloy Hemberger and Mama Bernoulli 4 packs.

                            I can now cross the Mama B and Alloy 4 packs off my list... saw them at 3 of 4 Indiana Target stores today.

                              In most cases the Queen did not make it to retail stores. Because of those cases being 2012 product most retailers had put a 'stop' on ordering anything with the V2796 code. That resulted in thousands of cases with the Queen being sent off to liquidators. I know this first hand because I was involved in this.
