ru5ty , found kingpin in asda direct, hid it behind a couple of mcqueens if you are interested

[MarknotaMack]

Ok guys, just done my look around for cars items. Got my UK Carla from Argos today. Asda nothing new. Sainsburys nothing new. The other interesting thing is I went to Disney store Lakeside and 6 stores in the UK have had Case G Final lap delivered. I asked the manager who has them and was told 6 of the stores in the UK have them as back in the Disney store warehouse aload of stock was sitting there. Yeah loads of final laps, the stores they know have them are Lakeside, West Thurrock, Bluewater, Kent, Cardiff branch and maybe Aberdeen, but mostly Northern Branches. They didnt know the other branches.
Case G has 4 bert, 4 LMQ with shovel, 4 Flo with tray, 4 Artie, 1 LMQ and 1 chick hicks.
Get looking guys these were £4 each. Lakeside had over 30 on the shelf with more out the back.

great info Mark and congrats on scoring the illusive Carla... now for Disney, was it all case G for the final laps or do you think there'll be any alternate cases in there?

Roger, great hiding space for kingpin. can't see anybody looking past MrMcQ (cough)

I was told the warehouse had found a large quantity of old stock in a corner. I asked for one of the cases but I was told they were not in cases so I can only ashume they were in crates just on the cards altho all looked in pretty good nick for laying around for at least a year. I doubt there are any other cases but I counted at least 12 berts so thats 3 cases at least and they were on the shelf. Got myself a chick hicks and lmq with shovel as didnt have them If anyone wants any I will pass there again on Thursday and will buy and sell to anyone for the £4 they cost plus postage if that helps anyone. They got my chick from out the back as I knew when I see what was on the shelf they must have that one.

Got the Tyler 2 pack in the mail Monday. Tyler's red coloring looks a lot better in real life than it looks on the computer screen. Still have not seen it any Walmart around here yet...
Got the 10 pack yesterday evening. Today is my last day of work this week so my son and I will be opening it tonight! Can't wait, it looks awesome and he hasn't seen it yet. He has only opened the 10 WGP race cars so far, so he will flip out when he sees this. I know my wife will be thinking, "how much did he spend on this." Oh well, your kids are only young once, right? If you are going to get more than one 10 pack, have them ring them up separately so you can get more than one free metallic McQueen!

That is THE KEY. and they let us young again. Totally agree!

Great scores, bobbyjack... I got my Tyler 2 pack in the mail yesterday - I've not seen it at any Walmart stores I've been to... my friend GOMATERGO got the ones from our store...

And I have mixed feelings about that 10 pack... I like the 2 new Cars, but am not happy that we have to buy 8 repeats to get them... Your wife isn't the only one who thinks (or says) "How much did he spend on this?"... it's a common thing, lol! And you're right - you're only young once.

I may get the 10 pack... but it's going to have to wait until July...

Chris, the key is do you need Wasabi Mater? if not, I think i can give you a hand for two girls, just hold on. but 10 pack is a good pack, I like it too.

Ordered 10 blue girls and 10 pink girls recently, two sets for myself and my son, two sets are gifts to two friends, picked other 6 sets for friends.

Found Milton Calypeer (fixed eyes) just now.
Waiting the message from a friend, who is looking for Kabuto with flame for me. I hope I can get this one.

Who can give me a clear picture of Drift Party Mater (toon)? front right wheel


this is correct one, now I think I found a special one again. A broken wheel and dirty body.
very special wheel. show pics if I can get it.
