  • Found a fresh R case of Cars in TRU this morning, first time in ages I have bought more than just the one mainline car.



    I pulled these from the case, no Bob Pulley, is he in a different mix?

    I also saw the RS Classics new box set with Luigi and Guido with paint rollers, no price but I expect it will be over £20. Also 2 boxes of RS Classics with one eye Mater and Timothy Timezone, both on the older style cards.

    • I forgot to add the picture of the new box set, will get it if under £20, otherwise will wait for the sales!

        Bob Pulley is in International case 959S, which has only been found (so far) at Morrisons!

        Those cars from case 959R at TRU look to be Sellotape free!? If so, what were the date stamps on the cars? The 959R cases I've seen at Smyths and Tesco all have Sellotape on them!

          I was told that the RS Classic box set will be IRO of either £24.99 or £29.99. That wasn't confirmed at the time!


          Great finds by the way!

            Great finds! That case is everywhere down here too.

            I've only seen the Bob Pulley case here once. Other cases have been seen here since that so it may be in short supply? We're only know come the end of the year I suppose!

              Yes sellotape free! I was quite surprised and happy to find some cars without the tape, so much cleaner. The date stamp on these is 1586EAA. Thanks for the info!

                    Picked up Max's pitty, j shoesteer and japeth in morrisons today. Not sure if I missed anything else new from the case? Price has increased from £5 to £5.50.

                    • Thanks for the heads up with this case. Found all of the above in Smyths and Morrisons today. Smyths had 2 cases pegged but at £5.99 I got them in Morrisons. Cheers

                      • her idoors spotted me looking at those new rusty cars, cant rem their names, anyway the jist of what she said is as follows

                        see you and your mates are going to be taken in yet again, all you have to do is put some of your old cars outside for a while and they will soon look like these!

                        couldnt argue with that , so kept quiet

                          • I saw the 'rusty cars' (Shoesteer,Japeth) in Sainsbury's earlier which I thought was a good sign and then I hit Morrison's and was delighted to see these guys fresh in stock. Not found the race fans before so walked out with a smile on my face!

                              Wow! You're definitely on a roll at the moment. I'm on a roll too, but it's just cheese and pickle!

                              I've got 12no. large Morrisons within about ten miles or so. Only about half sell Cars and most of them are down to the bare bones!

                              I've nearly managed to keep up with you. I had to resort to getting J. Shoesteer, Japeth and Max Schnell's Pitty at Hamleys. With six cases coming into the market in about a month, it's not clear how many of them there are. It's great news that Sainsburys have got this case (or any new case). Maybe ASDA, Tesco and Toymaster can get their acts together, so all collectors can get a good chance to 'Collect Them All' without resorting to desperate measures (paying over the odds at Hamleys or evil-Bay etc.)
