very nice

I am still undecided on the haulers. I'm don't think I would want all 11. Just want the Raoul one. And of course, if they make a Karl too. He would be perfect with the Lemons

Saw one piece Jeff Gorvette with the Corvette symbol in both the Bruno 4 pack and the Radiator Springs 7 pack at Target. I'm thinking about getting the 7 pack and returning the 7 pack I already have... I can't remember if I returned the 4 pack or not.

Bought my first cars in months was at Argos looking for Thump Back and Eye Brawl Skylanders for my son and spotted these in the new catalogue




Love the LMQ back shows more in the series, are they the same as the Kmart cars as its the Hudson Hornet LMQ??

[DeceptiCog72283]

from what I have seen in the pictures, the HHPC LMQ is the only different one. BUt I don't own any of the Kmart silver sereis so I can't confirm lol

The new silver cars in argos are out. I got 3 today. Miguel Nigel and francesco. The number is 913/0287. It seems the store haven't had a lot in. Mine only had 6. I got 3 there others were duplicates.

Not much around in the UK today...

The Metallic TRU Exclusive racers were down to Ł5.99 though (but I left them)

[yuffie]

I might have a look in Argos tomorrow but having already got the silver racers can't see that I'll get anything.

Did anyone look in a Disney Store today as they were due new stock. I did in Bath but as they are closing tomorrow they obviously didn't have any new stock.

Nice Score Rippers!

oh no please do not tell me this is all we are going to get for another three months... typical Mattel.

I had a look at 12 Argos in the Greater London area and only three stores had any, just two cars in each. I actually turned down both LMQ and Carla's as they were all damaged! It ranged from bent/creased cards, one which looked like someone got a bit hungry to a seriously crushed blister!

I ended up getting a Francesco and a Raoul. What a pathetic launch that turned out to be! I bet NASA won't be calling on Argos or Mattel UK for launch tips!

I've had a close in inspection of them and both are identical to the UK Disney Store silver racers, except the different packaging!

Went to the Disney Store today and got these!


They didn't have many left at all, this has to be one of the best cars they made for the Disney Store.

Nice finds, rippers and Hunter...I do like the Silver Series Hudson Hornet Piston Cup McQueen... I did buy the 7 pack with the Jeff Gorvette with Corvette symbol... Stopped at 1 Walmart - saw case B remnants and bought the Holley with Screen. Best find was most of a case of the Retro Hot Wheels at a Meijer - bought 4 Ecto-1 and 1 each of KITT, Batmobile, and Mystery Machine.

[DeceptiCog72283]

are those retro hotwheeels the same scale as regular hot wheels? Or are they bigger?

[TopherDawg]

I need some retros in my area, dad GUM! I picked up 2 of the Hot Rod McQueens from the Disney store today.

[cac1959]

The Retro Hot Wheels are 1:64 scale - the same size as regular Hot Wheels...

I stopped at another Walmart this evening - I found 2013 case B... minus Rip... bought a Petey Pacer... Singles are now $3.88, and the 2 packs that were $6.88 are now $7.47.
