Went to Indianapolis today for a Nathan's Playroom board meeting... stopped at a few stores before the meeting... not much that I didn't already have... but I did not come home empty handed...

Picked up the TRU exclusive Finish Line Frenzy with the gold flames McQueen at the Greenwood TRU... they had 4 with the gold flames and 4 with the silver flames... Scored Petrov Trunkov and Miles Axelrod case E singles for a friend at a Burlington Coat Factory... Picked up a Wally Hauler for my friend indykjt and received some nice items from indykjt...

It's interesting how Ronnie's props are pushed inwards, as if he's hiding his eyes.

While I've yet to find them, friends of mine have found a new sidecap at Walmart that includes the Walmart exclusive 2 pack Holley Shiftwell and Fred Fisbowski... the sidecap also had the Deluxe Kingpin and Hydrofoil Finn and Stephenson the Spy train as well as the Fillmore/McQueen with traveling wheels 2 pack... an eBay seller has the new Walmart 2 pack with Tyler (Red Grem) and Professor Z... I'm beginning to realize that I'll never get caught up... but I'll keep trying...

Great update Chris, I have decided not to try to 'catch up'
It is costing me too much money to buy so many sets just to get one different car and then to be stuck with several duplicates.
To be honest, my sons and I are not that into Cars2 yet; maybe that will change once we see the movie

New arrivals: 6/16/11

Got packages today via both FedEx and USPS...



I ordered Stephenson the Spy Train from Walmart.com on Monday (6/13/11) - I got what I ordered! Thank you Walmart - if only TRU and Kmart could get their online ordering and fulfillment system working properly.

The Kingpin and Hydrofoil Finn came through a trade that cvc1968 arranged for me... Thank you, Conrad!

My middle son is named Stephen... I've been calling him "Stephen son" for years... I'll get 2 Stephenson the Spy Train - one to open, and one to keep in the box... The Mater looks like a normal Mater - I'll open the box for close-up pictures sometime soon...

I also won an eBay auction for 2 Cars2 singles this morning - my first eBay bid in almost 3 months... and I got a text from GOMATERGO telling me that a new Cars pallet would be out at Walmart tomorrow... and musicnywu1 mailed out a package to me today... I can't wait...
