Who the heck is Chicks sergeant?

Awesome finds btw!

I think he meant Chick Hicks and Sarge (Sergeant). He might have missed the comma key.

I picked up an Elvis RV at Target. Pickings are extraordinarily slim this time of year. My quest for case U has been pretty dismal. I've found Megan a few times strangely enough, but the others of the case keep eluding me. Walgreens often has the case, just not the right cars. Walmart, TRU, and Target just aren't restocking right now. Grocery stores have not had much. I think part of it is my collection has grown a lot since last year, but last year at this time it seemed like I was finding a lot of hidden gems, and this year, not so much.

Meanwhile, Nelson and Chuck seem to be pretty plentiful.

I think your statement about pickings being extraordinarily slim at this time of year is spot on... not one store in the county has had any 2014 stock - we only have 1 each of Meijer, Walmart, and Kmart and no TRU or Target... I've seen Nelson but not Chuck at a few Target stores in Dayton or Indianapolis - in fact Nelson is a pegwarmer... I haven't seen Chuck... As far as decent new Cars, I saw Acer with headset one time at a TRU and left it...

I've been collecting since 2007... there have been a lot of dry spells... but this Cars spell is as cold as the weather.

2 days to go in January and we haven't even seen the Mattel 2014 Cars poster.

That was a good one haha

And yeah, great description Raginpage, really spot on. It sucks around here and everywhere else.

My father made a point that maybe Mattel isn't releasing a poster for Cars this year. It was just a thought.

Hot Wheels TH & Cars chase in the same store. To bad it was at o'reilly prices. They also had a Mater headset, Acer headset, and carla with flames that I passed on.

Nice finds, All4Mase.
