Recent Finds - July 2013 Store Purchases

[Fillmore1234]

This past weekend we went into a Rooms to Go OUTLET Center in Orlando. They always have interesting deals on furniture and accessories from their showroom floor sent to here. Look what jestrjef wife spotted for $10!!!!! I added Mattel and DS scale cars into the picture so you can see the scale of the pieces.

These are part of a Francesco twin bed frame! One part is the front bumper area and the other is the back panel/spoiler area. The shelves on the spoiler area can be all red OR Francesco tri color!

I am seeing two AWESOME Wall mounted Shelves for Cars display!!

Those.. are.. AWESOME! Great finds jestrjef, those would be perfect for displaying a Cars collection!

Those look like they will really be some cool shelves, Jeff! I hit my local Kmart, Target, and Walmart this morning. No case G at my Target yet, but I did find a fresh Planes case L at my local Kmart!

I now have an extra Bravo to trade!

Great finds, everyone... Bravo on Bravo, bobbyjack... I like that Francesco bed frame, jestrjef... I might just have to find one of those in the future - although shipping to Indiana from Orlando would be expensive.

Glad to see you found case G, KK&PP_Cars!

Meanwhile, in east central Indiana... plenty of Finn, Race Team Mater, Francesco, and Lightning McQueen singles... Finn/Tomber movie moments (along with Mater/ZMP and McQueen/Francesco)... and Deluxe Submarine Finn McMissile... I have a friend who works at Meijer - I have half a notion to report their diecast Cars stock to loss prevention - their inventory stock is causing loss of sales!

Went to Walmart this AM in the hopes of maybe finding the new toon deluxes, instead came out with two FFMs...

Not diecast related, but since a lot of people like RIP here, took a picture of this puzzle right next to the cars

Finally, went to Kmart to try to get $20 worth of cars/planes for a new Ivan and found a fresh case G...got 6 cars for about $23...

Not a bad morning...

kk&pp_cars, nice pick ups! I was about to report the same thing. I went to 2 Kmarts ... they are both more than 30 miles away ... and sadly are 2 of my closest 3, but the trip was worth it as both of them had put out fresh Deluxe Cases! I now have a few more chances to enter the Muggsy Sweepstakes!! LOLOL

I also found that the Target in the area restocked with Case G again ... picked up a few for follow members that asked for help. Wish Case h would work it's way East! All in all, it was a good morning!

Yep...I've been stalking the Targets around Raleigh for case H over the last few days, but it seems we're not quite past case G yet.

Were the Kmart deluxe cases the FFMater cases, or something else? I haven't seen any restocks of that case here in quite a while.

FFMater Cases. I thought maybe they were done with them as I had not seen any for a few weeks.

Store finds today... bought 1 Mama B set and traded it an hour later when I met up with a friend...

3 of 4 Target stores had these 4 packs... if I can find them tomorrow on payday I may buy another one.


Case G remnants at 3 of 4 Target stores.

At one of 2 Kmart stores:


Could not get $20 worth of decent Cars... this is the first I've seen of 2013 singles at Kmart.

[jestrjef]

WOW! 2013 Singles at Kmart! I have only seen a couple of those in 1 Kmart EVER.

I've been trying to find the Mama Bernoulli and Alloy Hemberger set for a while now, but no luck.

[cac1959]

This is the first I've ever seen the Mama B and Alloy 4 packs in a store... I paid $30 for a 4 pack when they were first available online... I actually paid $60 for 2 sets and awarded one as a prize in our 2nd Anniversary Contest in June.
