Tru this morning...

I'm glad I saw your post. Now I have another bus to find. I have Emmanual from cars 2. Now I see they have one from Planes F&R. Hopefully hes the same size, even though the mirrors are different.

Friday night we hosted an overnight birthday party for our granddaughter for her 10th birthday... I don't know why they call them sleepovers - they didn't do a lot of sleeping... anyway, I went on a quick Cars hunt in western Ohio Saturday morning... stopped at 3 Walmart, 1 Target, 1 Family Dollar, 1 Meijer, and 1 Marshalls...

Walmart #1: singles are up 15% to $3.76 each:


First time I've seen Paul Oilkley and My Name is Not Chuck in stores... so I bought them... DJ is the "incorrect" version with all blue (no green stripes).

Family Dollar: First time I've seen Dynamite as a single:


Walmart #2: Still working on their reset... singles $3.76 each... I left Sajan Karia and M. Fenderickson... I did buy Larry Camper and Trent Crow-Tow: Deluxe still $5.97.

Target: I found Manny Roadriguez, Scott Motorse, and a 2015 DJ with the correct green stripes - thanks for the heads up, RCcars5!

Walmart #3: I had trouble getting into the parking lot as they had an old car show going on and had shut down the 2 streets I usually use to get into the store... I saw 2 Frank on the pegs... 2 Pit Crew Member Mack... finally found Richard Clayton Kensington on the shelf... and then this, which I pegged for the picture:


Store purchases:




That is only my 3rd Super Chase store find... my other 2 were Long Ge at a Big Lots and Circus Van at a Walmart.

Not a bad Cars day for a quick trip... I got back in time for the family birthday party for our granddaughter.

I also got my Civic back earlier this week after being without it for 7 weeks due to a bad transmission... the radiator was also bad and the manifold was cracked... I guess my Civic was glad to go on Cars hunts again.

The silver racers didn't have a toon but they had a cartoon strip in issue 7 of the cars comic. Rip was not invited to the race!

So to stay canon to the comic, there won't be a silver rip released.

This maybe why Frosty was metallic finish rather than part of the silver series.

That's pretty mean not to invite Rip to the race!

Great to hear this case has come down here. I was worried this case was going to be amazon only.

Yeah, Kmart had quite a lot of Cars. I'll post the ones I can remember seeing:

Cruz Besouro
Jumpstart J. Ward
Hooman
Bert
Determined Lightning McQueen
Okuni
Chauncy Fares
Road Repair Lightning McQueen
DJ
The King
WGP Lightning McQueen
Andrea
Nigel Gearsley

I also saw Mater & Max Schnell at Coles and Terry Gong at Target.

Whatever happened to Silver Rip, it's a mystery.....

Great finds, CarsDiecast08!

I noticed as well, Nitroade, that Cars had moved to the other side of the aisle (and from the end of the aisle to the middle) on Sunday at a Dayton Target store that had completed the reset... the space for Cars and Planes is further reduced.

nitroade, never heard that term weirded me out before, I like it, am going to try to get it into everyday conversation in work in the next day or so!!
