Great Britain & Northern Ireland Finds (Part 1)

[Enzo]

Went to DS cribs today and got a pinstripe McQueen and Ferrari multi pack. Never seen this one before. Not sure if it's new or not. There bigger the 1:55 one though.

I can tell you if you post a quick pic please.

Pinstripe LMQ has been out before (if its the black one with red pinstriping) but no Ferrari to date, is it Schuey?

See if this works! If not it's a red LMQ pinstripe.

Nice find in DS. I'm sure I've seen that McQueen before but not a large Ferrari

[Enzo]

Yep, Schuey is a new car. Nice even aside from the tiny pupils. Wonder how detailed that V8 is?

Yep, Schuey is a new car. Nice.

you mean Schumi (Michael Schumacher) right ?

This is a typical Tesco 'clipstrip' case. This was the equivalent of the regular 994B case.

See if this works! If not it's a red LMQ pinstripe.

I don't believe it! I've been looking for the regular mattel boxes lol Thanks for sharing, may have better luck hunting now

The only place that I know of where clip strips were found in the U.S. was at B.J.'s Wholesale for Cars 2. They came in a special long box like the one pictured there. The cars were already on the strips, and you just pulled the strip out and hung it in seconds.

Visited a local Asda last night and found a single new clip strip hanging in the tea /coffee isle (why?) It consisted of 4x Rip, 2x Alex Carvill, J.Curby, Darrel Cartrip with headset, Petey Pacer and a couple of Cactus LMQ. I grabbed what I needed and headed for the tills! This is the first sign of new Cars for at least a month!
