Recent Finds - July 2013 Store Purchases

[niftynigel]

Jeff Gorvette on the short checklane card has been at TRU for over a month or so.

Sorry, my mistake!

We haven't had those (or the Lenticulars) in the UK!

Are the Check Lane singles numbered in the same series or are they not numbered at all?

Thanks,
Nigel

the brislington toys r us had about 5-6 popemobiles yesterday

and seeing taia and taco mater going for about £10-12 on amazon when i paid £25 each reminds me to just stick to what i get in shops and not pay over the odds on ebay

It doesn't always work out that way. Mattel have us over a barrel. You run the risk of missing out and they know it! It's a close call, but think about if they didn't reappear on Amazon at reasonable prices (I paid £8.95 each), but only on eBay for £30-50 each, you'd be glad you got them when you did!

You win some, you lose some; Mattel always wins!

Well the wife beat me to finding another case! She found case F before me now case G! No Miles but still happy to see something other then case C at my Target!!

Awesome find, keonisdad... If I ever find a Taia Decotura on the pegs I won't leave it... same goes for Francesco Fan Mater, Taco Truck Mater, and many other Cars that have never seen US release.

niftynigel - the Jeff Gorvette Lane Mate shows 16/17 on the front of the card.

Great finds, Hunter!

Great find, Scavenger's wife - I'm glad that several of you have spouses/partners that help you with Cars purchases... some of us don't.

went to my local Dollorama....was extremely pleased with my purchase:





(please excuse the terrible quality of the picture. My camera has gone AWOL and I broke my phone, which took decent pictures and bought a new one, that takes not so good pictures)

I'd be happy with that find too! Oh, what I would do for a US Cartney Brakin . That's one car (among many) that never got a release over here

the interesting thing is that I don't believe this guy was ever released in Canada. That's not a Canadian blister. The Canadian one is a multiple language one with the little character picture in the front instead of the character's name.

never seen cartney in the wild, great find.

I found two Chase Miles yesterday at two different Targets. Interestingly, this is the second time I found a Chase Miles at this particular Target where both Mama Topolinos were gone and no stock in the stockroom.
