From what I have seen Tesco, Sainsburys have all run dry and Morrisons haven't had any cars for weeks.
All the Toys R Us have been well stocked, but not necessarily with what people are going to buy. A refresh of the Radiator Springs Classic wouldn't go a miss although cut down on the number of Lightning McQueens and Maters in the cases (or cartons as Mattel have labelled them)! And sell off those very old US rejects for £1.
Argos have been busy restocking with two ... cars at a time, not cases, but just two cars per store. There's no substitute for thinking big!
Disney Stores have not restocked for ages, they are just running down stocks of their combination of 994/998/B/C/E/F cases.
Everyone's ripe for 2014 stocks, but by the tone of many on here there's no need to produce too many as there's so many early repeats, many aren't going to collect them!

Asda Milton keynes had a great selection this morning, sadly nothing I needed:
RPM, sputter stop , Brand new mater, mildred , Luigi and guido, taxi , nitrade , both mcqueen's , snot rod , Alex , race tom , plus the usual silver racers.
They also had a good selection of hotwheels: batpod , herbie , mystery machine etc.
I really was hoping to find some 2014 cars plus Smokey and the bandit hotwheels.

Forgot to add:
Smyths - full up with Lightnings the old Francesco and Kimura
WH Smith - Broadmead - 4 or 5 cars - Vern, 3 LMQ and forgot the other
Planes were 4.99 at Symths but the original characters (Skipper, Dusty etc)
Argos at Emersons Green said they were not expecting any more stock before Xmas.
Sainsburys next door have 10 on order (0.4 of a case) but not sure when they will arrive
Good job the Franz find saved today

I also managed to find the Arturo pit row set at Asda last week. They had 1 in Smyths today as well.

Tru had a few bits and pieces including the 2013 Christmas cars but only Lightning Mcqueen.

My last day of cars hunting before Xmas.
Found a helpful member of staff at TRU Brislington today.
He checked stock room and found a new case.
It contained Lil Torquey and Marilyn but didn't need these.
Left one of each on shelf. There was also 1 Queen there.
Nearby Tesco that had Ruka and Ichigo the other week had a few peg warmers left.
Sainsburys at Brislington had about 30 cars. Mixture of old stock and recent clip strip.
There was a Maurice there when I left.
Home Bargains had the lights and sounds car but no others.
Argos at Imperial Park only had 17 left. Remains of 998e case
Range next door had Topolino 2 pack and Leland Finn 2 pack.
Back to eBay I guess although even that seems quiet.
