            Awesome finds, VANDANCE! Congratulations!

            I saw Towga, Jason, and Alex (along with MA Brake Drumm) this weekend ... Missed out on the Super Chase J Low Lee... I've seen the new Carnival Racers at 2 different Target stores.

            Hopefully you continue to see new Cars over in the UK... it's frustrating to be a collector and not find new Cars to collect.

            • Thanks for the tip-off VANDANCE. I popped in ASDA on the off chance after seeing your post and found the whole case on the top shelf with a couple on display. I picked up M A Brake Drumm and left the rest. The had restocked with Hot Wheels and Matchbox too so it was quite a productive trip!

                Good for you! Glad to be of service. I also captured M.A Brake Drum today but in Morrisons. The best of the rest had gone but none the less pleased to add another new character into the fold! Cheers folks

                • Had a very busy couple of months with school and whatnot but for my birthday the other day my parents were able to get me 4 new cars for the collection - Coriander Widetrack (always wanted her but unable to acquire her when she was originally released), as well as the Mater The Greater 3-Pack containing - Mater The Greater, Lug and the buck tooth seller (who's name has disappeared from my head!) Hoping to get another few for Christmas and planning a big cars hunt in the coming weeks!

                        That's great news that Mattel have managed to finish the 2016 singles (in the UK) once again!

                        The approximate number of cases in the UK for the themes is as follows:

                        2013 - 22,000 ~ There were 2,000 of most cases.

                        2014 - 23,000 ~ There were 2,000 of most cases.

                        2015 - 18,000 ~ There were 2,000 of most cases but some early ones were limited. Jumstart J. Ward was especially rare with only around 250 case 959H at Disney Stores only.

                        2016 - 16,250 ~ There were only 1,000 of some cases. The year will be remembered for sellotape-gate!


                        Expect the first 2017 singles to be shipped to stores around mid January!

                              Those are AMAZING cars! If you find any extra carbon shu, Carla, Francesco, or Jeff, I would love to do a trade someday.

                                Awesome additions... we are waiting for the new Carbon Racers to arrive in the US... there was a report from carslover in August and that's the only time they've been reported in the USA... I really thought they'd be out for Christmas.
