Mini Racers Checklist

Great finds Chris! I know Wave 5 has hit my country, Australia, but it’s only been found in parts of Sydney, Melbourne and QLD so far. I live in Canberra, so I still haven’t found them here yet.

Thank you, Sam! I hope they make it to your part of Australia soon.

I found Mini Racers from Wave 5 at the local Meijer over the weekend... 41 (Dinoco Chick Hicks), 56 (Brand New Mater), 57 (Gold McQueen), and 58 (Silver Tim Treadless)... and last night after bowling I found a wave 4 box at the local Kmart - as they were $2.99 plus tax each I only bought the 55 (Glow in the dark Tim Treadless).

41 and 57 are 1 per case... 56 and 58 are 2 per case.

I found the 4 newest 3 packs at the local Walmart a little bit before 7 this morning - I had to take my son to work... finding these made getting up at 5:30 this morning worth it.

Update - Added Wave 5

That's a lot of multi-pack mini racers... Thank you for adding those, SamB2003... I understand more singles have turned up in Australia, a few areas in the US, and maybe even the UK... it would be nice if distribution of mini racers and all Cars would get consistent and universal.

UPDATE: Added pack exclusives I forgot a while ago

I got Red from a 3 car pack, Mr Drippy is in one of these as well. Take a look at post #9 of this thread, there is a pic of them.

i am very new in collecting the cars mini... that was love from firs “ride”
can anyone kindly advise how to find cars from special education as RED and MR. Drippy?!

[Keef]

OK got it, thank you. I was thinking that there may have been variations between the different years releases.

[cac1959]

The mini racers Cars are the same... waves 1 and 2 were from 2017... waves 3 and 4 are 2018... Lightning McQueen is number 1 so he’s the same... Jackson Storm was 10 in Wave 1 but is 6 in Wave 3.... I’m only buying new Cars in Wave 3 and 4.... or buying first release singles if I didn’t buy the 10 pack, 15 pack, or 21 pack

[Keef]

From reading some of the above posts, are we saying that wave 1, 2 and 3 are using exactly the same cars with the same model numbers in some cases, ie is Wave 1 McQueen the same as the Wave 3 McQueen?
I just want to check as I don't know much about the mini racers.

#12 is Smokey, Movieguy1919. Sorry, I forgot to add it.

[cac1959]

SamB2003...thank you for that list! But what is #12? It was missing from the list for Wave 3. Just curious so I can complete the set. Are there any others out there that are a secret or anything?

#12 from Wave 3 may be Smokey... I can't confirm as I didn't buy it... I'm trying to only buy ones I did not have in wave 1 or wave 2.

Not sure about secrets... haven't seen a lot of posters either online or in stores... I haven't opened very many Cars in the last 18 months... running out of room to display them.
