You can reference Google spreadsheets son here. For other document types you could upload to dropbox and link to them from here

Someone mentioned Dropbox at work today! Crikey, that's a lot to take in for a dinosaur like me!

They say I used to be a dinosaur (as I had an old mobile phone for years), now they say I'm a alien (as I now have an Android smartphone)!

I'll do my best (or I might have to ask the in house expert for help - the wife)!?

Thanks,
Nigel

P.S. RIP CLUTCHGONESKI is in the wild in the UK. I've been to a number of Tesco and Sainsburys on my travels today and the remnants of his first reissue case have been at a few locations! I haven't seen the case number, but I think it's 997W. He's also been appearing on eBay this last week too!

[Ru5ty]

Courtesy of boogity, Im caught up on that case now all the rest to go ha ha...



Thanks Roger, Alex will be so stoked when gets up for school in the morning.... I can hear him now " can I bring these in for show & tell"

Nifty, Great news on RIP, don't suppose sarge is in that case? I know he's in the European equivalent but is he in the UK case.
If not, nothing lost but a few hours of my day lol..

[Ru5ty]

Found another old case this morning, Tescos computers in all stores here are showing up high numbers of stock but some of these stores have none..... I hate torturing staff to go into the belly of the beast to find these, specially when they aren't there. But sometimes you get something you weren't expecting....



Got otis which I was pleased with, but no Alex...

Radiator Springs Classics are now priced at £2.99 in Toys R Us.Reduced today they said.

Sarge was in cases 997P (with the first issue of Rip) and then repeated in case 997R. He's likely to be reissued in a later case.

Until someone on here can verify which case Rip was in, we can only guess it was 997W.

Millimoo - you got him from Tesco (as shown in your photo). Did you buy any other cars at the same time?

Or do you remember which ones, as that might at least (in the absence of confirming the UK case letter) point to which US equivalent assortment it was in.

Cases 997U are still being delivered to my local Tesco and Sainsburys.

One other Tesco had a fresh case (presumably 998H). It had TWO Galloping Geargrinders, TWO Nick Cartones, Mel Dorado and Erik Laneley! I guess the 998H is just a various assortment of whatever is left over?

One other odd thing is that regular barcode on the back of the cards was over-stickered with a new barcode! Has anyone else noticed that?

Thanks,
Nigel

this is indeed good news if your local store has stock- our shower only had 1 single last time I was in and you know what, I,m not wasting my time going back

This may force me to trudge the feckless aisles of the customer unfriendly confines of my local TRU once again. Why do I have a gut feeling that they wont have any more than pegwarmers if I do, yet will have loads of Marylins etc, if I dont.

[pirelliboy]

Looks like my TRU made a mistake!
Back up to £4.99 today:thumbdown:
