      Hey Yuffle,

      Just got back from the Disney Store @ C.C and there is no need to panic! They received older cases so no Snotty or Maurice but I did get Vern the Taxi (hadn't previously seen him before) and I also bagged a Victor H and Sheriff. I left Mama, Greta x2, Dusty, Cactus LMQ, Victor H and the usual Maters / Francesco. I asked the lady if there was a partial box left in the stock room and she was happy enough to check but she came back reporting nothing but Finn's & Maters gathering dust! Give thanks once again to Nigel for the heads up on these making an appearance in the D.S shops!

      Also as I was passing by, stopped at Morrison's and they had put out some fresh stock as well! I asked the guy working the toys but no more in stock, this is all that was left, I took a Petey Pacer for my troubles! Again I left a few nice Cars behind!

      Great finds everyone and lets hope we get more cases turn up soon! I'm out!

      • Vandance - Sorry I nabbed Brent and Maurice ahead of you last night.

        Car-Ma strikes though as I couldn't be bothered checking that Morrisons again and I needed a Petey. Ha ha typical! Did you get the last or was the other one still there?

          Fairplay Enzo! I thought i'd be lucky to get new cars at this time of the day! I was going to go up after work but it was my turn to cook last night so I decided to play it safe and go straight home, not worth risking the wife starving to death! LOL!

          • Wow thanks for the heads up everyone - I called my local disney store at 9am and they told me they put a fresh case out this morning. Off I run and picked up Maurice, Vern, hank Halloween murphy and victor H! Left Brett with headset as I didn't think my daughter would care and already have two Brett's. someone else can nab him! Just really nice to see some new cars out there! Would have said I had the pick of the new case and everything appeared to be there! Definitely a wingo with flames there.

              Great finds, awesome! A very nice box set in Smyths too, I didn't think we would get those here in the U.K! £29.99 is quite expensive- if you only need the one car from the set that is, but I really want Chauncy Fayres so I will just have to invest in a set come pay day! Ker chow!

              • definitely interesting to see the first sighting of a 2013 box set in the UK - even though i am only collecting carded 2013 cars i think i'd grab one as really like union jack ramone and chauncy fayres

                      • Also today saw my first movie moments still sold in a shop - was francesco/lightning with ciao bumper sticker but didnt grab it as I'm an opener and have Francesco/Lightning already. £9.99 in a good quality box.

                        Think I had a good day car searching today!

                          Those were my very thoughts when reading Lozzi's post, bit too obvious ha ha

                          Great to see the infamous Chauncy 7-pack here even at that price (that's equivalent of $45 to our lurking US readers). We already have a Monster-sized Chauncy here so an easy pass but happy and sympathetic for those who'll be explaining away that mystery £30 cash withdrawal on the joint bank statement at the end of the month. Advice? Just say "petrol". It's only half a lie

                          • Wow! That box set looks really smart. We don't get too many box sets in the UK, so that's a definite purchase for us!

                            • 30 quid , a lot of dosh, think I could use 30 notes more wisely!
                              someone should go in and ask for staff discount!
