Im wondering if they doubled or tripled up on Lee in some cases and excluded Lizzie and Matthew?? I have seen other people report finding Lee's but no Lizzies or Matts!!
Your other finds...you missed Lubewig, Chisaki, Sidewall Shine, Spare-O-Mint and Doc Hudson.
Has anyone found anything at Walmart lately????? Mine have been completely empty of Cars for months, with the exception of each of them receiving ONE case of singles in that timeframe! I had an employee scan them at 3 different stores, and they all said the computers says ordered, but none of them are showing anything in transit!!"I'm a paderbuilt for dags sake!"

Look at it this way. If it saves you from having to drive around for 100s of miles just to find them on the pegs, it is often a bargain. My cars average me a whole lot more than store prices when you figure how often I check, how far I drive, etc. It is fun for me, but it costs a lot of money by the time I'm done. Plus, if I guess wrong on what people might want I'm stuck with a lot of extras. That's why I wouldn't want anyone feeling like they SHOULD help out. On the flip side, Ive gotten lots of rare and hard to find cars in trades by doing it.

^^^To build on that for example...I found and bought 5 Lee Races, 2 Wheel Well Guidos, and 1 Lizzie on Thursday. Those were found at 1 Target and a TRU. But I checked and struck out at a whole lot more places. 4 Walmarts, 4 Targets, 2 TRUs, and a Kmart. Only 8 diecast cars to show for it. Each one of those were duplicates to trade. On Friday, I hit 2 different Targets, 3 Walmarts, 2 Kmarts, and a TRU. All I found was Nigel w/ Flames and 2 Sarges w/ headsets. 2 cars I haven't found yet and 1 to trade hopefully for a Homer car that I have yet to find. If it wasn't for trades, I wouldn't have 40-45% of my current collection.

I almost always pick up extras of the Chase Cars, but I've stopped buying extras of regular singles. You never know if they'll be packed abundantly in future cases or just not be very popular, and then you get stuck with extras that you cannot even give away.

Found all this today at Walmart! I'm happy that I found the new MMs and Planes, but mad that I missed the majority of Case A as well.. Oh well, hopefully I find them soon.
And based off your findings, I checked Kohl's today for the first time in maybe a whole year and saw another Gunnar as well as Ned. There were also some Lights and Sounds Finn McMissiles that I think have been there since May 2011; the dust probably weighs more than the Car at this point.
