      Great Finds

        The good thing about most Walmarts & Targets is that they're set up just the same, making it easy to find the toy sections. You could tell me that photo above is from my closest Walmart and I would completely believe you. Exact same setup, but I haven't been by lately to see if mine has that nice dump bin yet.

        Oh, and I forgot to mention that I was in my closest Target last week and unfortunately they apparently got stuck with a leftovers repack case (or a return from a collector). There were 10 Alex Carvilles and 5 Mildred Bylanes hanging on the pegs, out of about 30 Cars total. The pegs had been practically empty since Christmas.

                We made an offer on a house last night... waiting to hear back... there will be room for my Cars... but I'm still going to downsize part of the collection.

                Thanks for the congratulations... it had been so long since I'd found new Cars in a store.

                Thanks for the info, boogity... every so often I think it would be neat to have a topic where we could inform others as to what words are what in various countries.

                    Here's what I bought:

                    I see they have raised the price of singles
                    and i'll be interested to see if this dump bin is found by others
                    no sign of it in my walmarts
                    I talked to the toy mgr at one walmart and she said she knows nothing about the dump bin
                    and needs the singles to fill her empty pegs
                    so I don't know if i'll see them or not

                        For those not on the Facebook page, we found these today at kmart. $8.99 though!

                        Also had a fresh case Q that I filled the pegs with for the employees. Left Ichigo and Ruka since we had them already and are going really cheap on eBay.

                            Even though these are the first buses we've found, I was hoping for it to be a jungle miles case because I read somewhere on t5ad that it was supposed to be first to market at a kmart.

                              I have a feeling that when kmart gets the jungle miles case they may have more of Emmanuel

                                Man, I need to get out and hunt for that bus and more Case U extras. That dump bin looks awesome...they should fill it up with the new cases, W and Y too.

                                Incredible finds guys.
