f! me Ru5ty's Back!

Hello Bro... how's it going? back for another wee stint lol
I'm blaming this on Roger and my 3 year old for this, I'd forgotten how frustrating this collecting was and now I'm already grinding my teeth lol. Was talking with George (lovemini) earlier, he's still out of the game but tells me all is good and said hello to yous all.

so both international and us versions of radiator springs 5001/2 have now been found in b and m bargains, both at 2.99 , the question I want to know is.... why fillmore and sarge are only included in the us packaged cards and not on the international?
it seems to me that we are getting discriminated yet again by mattel on range and choice, I can think of no obvious reason for this

Interesting points, boogity... it is possible that the RS 500 1/2 Cars did not sell as well as Mattel had hoped and as a result, they dropped plans to complete the set on International cardback... in an ideal Cars world all Cars would be available in all countries on all cardbacks.

There are several Cars in my collection that I would not have had it not been for friends who bought them for me in their countries... El Materdor and Taco Truck Mater and Brian Parks Motors come to mind... while some have now been released in the US (Bessie), others have not... I don't get as many International carded Cars as I used to - the Max Sacar 4 pack and the Rip Clutchgoneski Carbon Racer singles are my most recent ones.

Different store managers can price items at what they want. One of my local asdas has cars at £2 and they are always getting stock. I found a gear grinder yesterday for £2. Gonna ask for a new case when I there next

Sorry chum. We only have one living store here so I didn't think to compare it...thought it would have been national tho...

Pretty nifty info nigel 👍
So what's new in case L? You couldn't give us a quick breakdown as to what these new releases are... just sure I know I haven't missed anything.
Cheers

The latest 959L singles case has now been found at Sainsburys.

I've seen the case in four stores now. They appeared to have two cases each!

A rough calculation shows that 6,000 (of the 8,000) first four cases are now in circulation in the UK.

It may well be that, if Mattel has cut production to 1,500 per case, they are all in circulation. That closes the lid on the first wave.

There are 56 different singles in the first wave across four cases.

There's between 11-15 different singles in the next wave, spread across the next four cases. They should start to appear in early May, possibly a little bit earlier?
