    That's the feeling I get sometimes, but ASDA are a bit of a mystery. They get a few in stock (at a few stores) then nothing! Then, almost as if they forget they had these (stashed away) loads of them suddenly appear all over the place!

    I haven't seen any of them in any my nearest ASDA stores, indeed 2016 has been a pretty lousy year for ASDA in my area. I've got 12 Morrisons within ten miles. I was reading all these reports about cases coming one after the other, nothing for weeks, then hey presto, all my local stores got the 959W case in!

    I'd already bought the cars at Hamleys at £8 each. I took three old/spare cars back and got a refund. The lady then took the £8 stickers off and re-priced them £10 in front of my eyes! Any feelings of guilt at getting my money back, quickly evaporated!

    • well fair play to ye for paying 8 quid for them in the first place,

        • that price does suck

          but with the current exchange rate of the pound that is only slightly higher (about $2 more ) than it costs in the USA

          • So they are about $18 in the US then - prices must be going up across the board! When I was in the states last year, singles were only $3.47 in Walmart at regular price (I thought that was crazy cheap compared to UK!)

            • yes the 3 packs went up a while back and are around $18 with the tax
              and the regular singles did go up to around $4.25 with the tax
              the carbons, road trips, ice, carnival and neon singles are about $6 with the tax
              and the road trips with trailers are about $11 with tax

                    Great finds, boogity... I think we're probably at the point where retailers are going to try to keep prices high in advance of the Christmas season...

                    • Found remains of case U in Tesco today.

                      • Found case w in sainsburys yesterday, was able to pick up brad (£6) but widetrack and darla were both already gone. It was a shame as it looked like they were the only ones missing from a full case fresh out.

                        • nothing recently, but did get the 2016 f1 ferrari for 10.95, so thats me up to date 1949 to 2016

                          on the subject of f1, hamilton needs some luck to beat that finnish/german/monoco based rosbore(g) hope he takes him and knocks the grin off wolf and herr lauda

                              Awesome finds, boogity! I've yet to find those in a store... Congratulations on finding them at a great price as well.
