    Here's my list:

    Single: Henry Motisse (new)... Todd and Lizzie (re-releases)

    Movie Moment - Jessica Giampetrol/Nate Stanchion - a 2 pack with 2 new Cars was great news for those of us who have been collecting a long time... my second favorite was John/Nancy - again, 2 new Cars.

    Deluxe - Alfredo

    Boxed set - Planes Fire and Rescue Fusel Lodge Fire Alarm with Cad Spinner, Ol Jammer, Pulaski, and Dusty - 3 of the 4 basically new... my runner up was the Walmart 3 pack Leaving the Lodge with Cad Spinner and Ol Jammer and Meru.

    Store find - finding the missing 2012 Movie Moments (Petra Cartalina/Miguel Camino and Miles/Cleaning Pittys) at TJ Maxx/Marshalls... Runner up - finding Judge Davis and Antonio Planes Gift sets at 1 Kroger Marketplace store, 1 time.

    Online purchase - Super Chase singles and other new singles and 2 packs and Deluxe from Get Me Collectibles... runner up - Planes Fire and Rescue items from Amazon.com... 2nd runner up: Target Collector McQueen

    Trades: Great customs from Scavenger... Neon Frosty from friends in Australia... New Cars from Ferris.

    Best Bargain: Planes Tent sets for $3.00 each on clearance at Meijer (75% off) right before Christmas.

    My favorite Car of 2014 was the PCD custom racer... but then, as owner/administrator of the site, I am partial... many thanks to all who made this happen.

      My memory is a little fuzzy between 2013-14 and those two years blend together for what came out (and on my phone do can't really do multi tabs very easily to check it out lol):

      Single: Todd. Been wanting one ever since i learned of the original release

      Movie moment: Any crew chief pack is awesome in my books. Also, even though i don't have them, the Marco and Marcelo pack is up there

      Deluxe: Grem with camera. I can't say no to a lemon

      Box set: N/a

      Store find: N/a

      Online purchase: Movie moments jeff/john shu/mach and getting a hold of the miguel/petro set as well.

      Transformers for Trade

        Single: Jonathan Shiftko - and I haven't even found him yet! A nice Car I am really looking forward to getting.

        Movie Moment: Father Burke and Cardinal Pittys - this one is because of the memorable find for me, I found that car by surprise on the way down to one of the most fun weekends of my life at Dover International Raceway in June

        Deluxe: Alfredo - I was disappointed about losing an eBay auction for this Car, then found him in real life the next day

        Boxed set: Alloy Hemberger pack for $9 or so on clearance!

        Store find: My friend found me an old Leroy Traffik with Snow Tires still on the pegs in a KMart in North Jersey

        Online purchase: I found a very nice eBay seller from Nebraska who was in the process of selling his collection and won a lot of auctions for various older Cars, highlights including Shifty Drug Hauler, Gray (King) Hauler, Oliver Lightload, and Cartney Brakin

        Trades: trading a Radiator Springs 500 1/2 set to DiZz for Taia Decotura and Taco Truck Mater, two amazing Cars I didn't think I would ever get!

        2014 was a great year for CARS, a great year for me with regards to my collection and the rest of my life, and I am happiest I have ever been. Thank you to everyone here because you have all played a part in that no matter how small. Here's to a happy, healthy, and Cars-y 2015!

          Single: Todd the Pizza Planet Truck,

          Movie Moment: Kimberly Rims & Carinne Cavy, I like their original-ness, not special in any way, I haven't found them yet sadly.

          Deluxe: Chuck "Choke" Cables and Nelson Blindspot, love the camera guys!

          Boxed set: Not really sure about this one.

          Store find: finding Trike Feldman at Aldi's

          Online purchase ... um.. I think I bought Petra Cartalina/Miguel Camino from on here. I think. lol My memory with how I obtain my cars isn't well sometimes

          Trades: I believe I traded to get Long Ge. He's didn't come out in 2014, but still an awesome getting him.

          Happy New Year everyone!

              Single: has to be Lizzie. I can't think of any new or any rereleased singles that I was more excited about this year. Costanza might be a close second.

              Movie Moments: I think I have to go with Jeff Gorvette and John Lassetire. They may have turned into pegwarmer a later, but it was pretty exciting and bittersweet when they first showed up.

              Deluxe: This was not a particularly good year for the deluxe in my opinion. I guess I will go with Wild Miles Aceltod though.

              Boxed Set: Hank Hallsum and waitress Mia and Tia

              Store Find: Toons. They may be ho him now since they only released 8 and in pretty good abundance, but I was one of the very first to get them which was sweet, and I really wanted to get Dragon LMQ. I look forward to them this year too. Close second is Gray hauler.

              Online Purchase: The showstoppers. Really glad to finally have these in my collection. Close second is Easy Idle pit crew.

              Trades: Bumper Save hauler plus crew. I had a ton of great trades this last year and appreciate all of them, but this was the most exciting for me.

                      Single: I'll go with Todd as well. He's still awesome.

                      Movie Moment: Jessica & Nate for sure. Uncle Topolino's band is still one of my all time favorites though.

                      Deluxe: Emmanuel. He's one of the cooler looking ones in my opinon. Very big.

                      Box Set: I've only bought the Neon & Ice Racer box sets, so idk.

                      Store Find: Finding WOC DJ at Walmart in December for $2. Best 2014 series find would probably be finding Sally W/ Tattoo, Todd & Louis LaRue at one Target.

                      Online: Bought a lot online, lol. Not sure i have a favorite yet from last year, mostly buying older series.

                      Bargain: Takeshi for $13 on Amazon w/ prime.

                      No Trades.
