Been busy the last several days with work and other activities outside of work... found out from a friend yesterday that there have been several reports of 2013 case N which is supposed to contain Super Chase Cars Hiroaki and Takeshi not having the Super Chase Cars... and in some instances, they were missing Nature Drive McQueen and Alex Carvill as well...
So what's happened to cause the mis-packed cases? Were the cases not packed properly at the factory - I suppose that's possible... Did someone at a distribution center open up some cases, pull out the good Cars to create their own super case? That seems more likely to me.
When retail stores order cases, they usually don't care what's in the case... to many of them, all Cars are the same... if you or I order a case, we usually order just 1 and order it because we're expecting a specific assortment... I didn't order a singles case N this time because I'd bought the Super Chase Cars on eBay... and PCD members helped me with the Nature Drive McQueen and Alex Carvill... I do have one coming from a friend... I fully expect to order the next 2013 Movie Moments case from JMDL Toys - it has many new 2 packs with new Cars that I need... I may order a Kmart 10 case - I don't expect stores to get in more than 1 master carton with 4 cases and I will probably only be able to stop at 6 stores the day of the event as several stores I've gone to in the past have been closed... as far as the next Deluxe case with Waiter Mater and Count Mater - it depends on the case contents... if there are 2 of each, I might... if there are only 1 of each like happened with 2013 Deluxe case A with Ivan Mater and Kabuki Mater, I won't.
I buy cases because they contain Cars that I want and it saves me time and gas... I don't want to miss out on Cars that I might not see otherwise... I buy and trade to get Cars from friends outside the US because I don't want to take a chance that they won't be released in the US.
For those of you who didn't get the Cars in your case N that you expected, I hope you're able to get things worked out satisfactorily.
