My sainsburys had two more Ivan's in if anyone still needs him (at 9.99 tho he is expensive!). They had also reduced the neons down to Ł2.99 each and had the Todd case in.
My Asda's seem to have DLMQ, DPM and Komodo as peg warmers at the moment, plus sometimes manji but patokaa and kyandee are always gone (I've yet to see patokaa on a UK shelf!).

Saw a full new jungle miles deluxe case in sainsburys. It's the first time I've seen this set since I bought a set quite some time ago. The deluxes seem to have dried up most places around me; Asda sold off their overload of waiter maters for Ł4.49 and no longer seem to stock deluxes at all. I wonder if waiter mater burned them sufficiently to stop the deluxe line altogether...mattell strikes with another mater/zen that was probably the cause of no more doubles in the UK!

I finally got a Louie Larue, David Hobbscap and Holley Shiftwell. I found them at ASDA (Long Eaton, Derbyshire).
I looked in the toy aisle and there were loads of Toon singles (case A), Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars stuffed in the bins on the bottom shelf. When I stepped back, I noticed that there was a singles case (opened) on the top shelf.
There was a member of staff nearby. She was on her lunch break, but voluntarily offered to get a ladder and get the case down! Now that's customer service - TRU take note!
Although the case had been opened, it had all 24 cars in it. The case was 988U (but over-stickered with 998U). Datestamp was 1084EAA.
The contents were confirmed as follows:
HOLLEY SHIFTWELL (with Screen) - 1
NIGEL GEARSLEY - 1
WINGO (with Flames) - 1
MAX SCHNELL - 1
RACE TOW TRUCK TOM - 2
DOC HUDSON - 1

Had a good look around this weekend, on the normal cars front, nothing, no sign of case 998U anywhere. All Tesco's and Sainsbury's visited had lots of the previous cases and a number of clip strips. So not expecting to see new stock anytime soon. My local Asda only had a single clip strip. Asda in Slough appears to be having a major toy reset as the main toy isle was closed off.
Neon's in both Tesco's and Sainsburys at 2.99
Radiator Springs classics found in Disney, Smyths, Toymaster and another local toy store all at 7.99
Deluxe range only seen in Sainsburys and basically was only the first two cases, and none of the newer cases.
As for the Tokyo series, found in one Asda, so finally got Manji and Drift Party Mater, which were the last two they had

On a different note I found the case Nigel mentioned with Louis in, oddly the only car I did to see or missed out on was holly with screen.
This was found at asda living
