        on fire this evening however, dandered into a local toy and book shop whilst her indoors was in pandora,
        first find was a book "victor, the best of alf tupper , the tough of the track", britains favourite comic book athlete, for 2.50, this was pretty appropriate as I had entered the 10k under my other alias "alf tupper", didnt even know this was out, came out for the 2012 london olympics, flammin beezer
        went on to the toy dept, they normally have very little or nought, found patokaa, never seen this before and just behind it was the super chase luigi and guido, bought them both (ok a bit of humble pie on the latter)
        then remembered I had a 6.99 credit note, which helped and just as I paying for it neil youngs heart of gold same over the speakers!

          Was Patokaa on a US or International card?

          For some of the Toons, the front of the cards are identical with just the one (English) name on it. The US carded Toons have pictures of the whole series on the back. The international Toons have the usual blurb found on the standard singles.

              • Found the 2014 two packs in TRU today, they had most of them but I'd already imported these from the US thanks to a forum member. I don't really want to spend £10 on the scientist pack (as one is a pitty) and £10 for gorvettes pickup also seems steep (with an extra Jeff we don't need). The massive selection of planes that were down to £2.49 had dwindled to a very small number.

                • Asda had just put out 12 cars from whatever case this is tonight so picked up a couple of wants. Presume this was half a case?

                    It looks like the other three cars (of the eight 2014 Toons singles won't be released in the UK). The first case with the first five cars are still being delivered to ASDA!

                    Thanks,
                    Nigel

                        Wow! They look like nice cards!

                        The 959E case has started to appear over the last week at ASDA stores.

                        Some stores have been putting out just 12 cars in their Easter displays, whilst others have been putting the cars (sorry stuffing the cars in their bottom shelf trays). As a result, many of the cars I've found at ASDA over the last few days have been damaged, which I refuse to buy!

                        The 2015 cases released in the UK so far are as follows ...

                        W1938-959D (Smyths 22.01.2015; Disney 19.02.2015; Tesco 02.03.2015) (3074EAA; 3334EAA)

                        • No new cars in my area, but Tesco have reduced prices to £4.50

                          Comment


                          • Although all the Tesco's in my area got one each of their new 2015 case, they still have an abundance of old stock, singles and deluxe on the shelves.

                            Along with Sainsburys (who have their new case in the warehouses gathering dust), they need to have a blow out sale to shift the old stock, then decent amounts of new cases can then be sent to stores rather than the trickle we've had since the 2015 cars were released in the UK!

                            C'mon Sainsburys and Tesco, the ball is in your court now!

                            • Found 2015 carded items for first time today.
                              It was in WH Smiths.

                              They just had a WGP and Cruisin LMQ. This represented the best selection of cars in the whole shopping area.
