Recent Finds - March 2014 Store Purchases

[cac1959]

Found at Meijer this morning:



The first new 2 packs they've gotten since 2011 case C (with corrected position Darrell/Brent)... they weren't in the system... I told the customer service person the price and I was able to buy them; bought the John/Nancy and Shu/Mach sets.

Nice finds Chris!! Looks like remnants of the Lizzie case of singles hanging there too.

Went out and hit a TRU and 2 WMs, found only Kaa Reesue in the Tokyo 3 pack at a WM, didn't want the Yokoza or Dragon Mcqueen but haven't seen single Kaa anywhere else so...

Nice find! I really want Shu & Mach Matsou since I already bought Nancy & John off ebay! My Meijer apparently isn't as good as yours, mine still has 2012 releases, no 2013 or 2014.

I feel your pain, RBCars77... most of the diecast Cars product in this and other Meijer stores is from the May 16, 2011 product launch... They did get in a few 2013 singles for Easter 2013 and before Christmas 2013.

The second wave of launchers, Hydro Cars, Riplash Racers, and other items just aren't selling... Meijer purchases toys at the corporate level... I'd like to be able to offer them hints on ordering merchandise.

Went to a bunch of stores, but found nothing. Though, both Walmarts I went to had two new Plane 3-Packs which are exclusive to Walmart. One had Rochelle, LJH 86 Special, and El Chu. The other one had Ripslinger, Ned, and Zed.

It's no big deal for many of you, but I found the pit crew Sarge (non-sound version) yesterday at WalMart. I haven't been following the new Sarge's lately as it didn't seem like there have been any new ones for a while. It was nice to see one I had no idea existed! So now I have three pit crew ones the same size; that one, the one with sound, and a European one in solid plastic...
If any more Sarge's come out, I'll need more room!

[Raginpage]

Do you already have saluting sarge?

[carslover]

I found these guys at target today

Finally found a Walmart outside the city which had the elusive dump bin, but of course it had been thoroughly picked over. Did find one lonely little Chase Magen near the bottom, however.

I ended up finding that dump bin at a WM out of town at the back of the Toy department against the wall (where like no one would look) and only found Vern the taxi, I got her cause I want to replace my lenticular eyes Vern. Their peg display was literally empty so, I took most the cars left from the dump bin and put them on the pegs.

Check TRU RBCars77, I just found them there today. Expensive though, so bring an ad or show them a picture of the prices at Target & Walmart. $4.99 for regular Cars is ridiculous.

I saw wheel well Guido at TRU, no sign of Lee Race though, guess I missed him again.. but I'd fight against paying 5 bucks for him definitely

Oh, wow I didn't know TRU price matched. Also someone must have returned a Nigel w/ Flames to a Target because there were absolutely no signs of the rest of that case when I found it.

With my Targets, they never seem to overload the pegs, even if it means just putting out a car or two from a full case. Were I to see just one car from a new case, I'd probably assume that they've still got the rest of it.

[Scavenger]

Yep just scan the Car and see if it says there is stock in the back, if yes ask an associate if they can bring them out!
