The Carbon Racers have been out in Canada for a while now, although the pegs may be a little low now after the Christmas rush but if anyone wants or needs them I'll gladly see what I can find and sell and ship them at my cost. I believe they are 7.97 Canadian Dollars plus 15% sales tax...yeah we pay high taxes, but we have free health care...lol...which is around $7.25 US...shipping would be around $9 US dollars for 2-3 cars, I'd have to package and weigh them to be exact on shipping costs.

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.

After-Pizza-Hut-trip to ASDA with my Dad to get NYE drinks (and a quick Cars check) resulted in my 24th new car of the month, Otto Bonn! Singles £5.99, Carbons £7.97.

I end the year on 393 different Cars. At 14 years old I am quite happy with that! This also ends my 10th year of collecting. I usually get around 40 Cars every year, but this year I must have acquired at least 50!

I can't wait for Cars 3 next year, I hope to reach 450 at least by the end of 2017.

Happy New Year and Good Luck with the Cars in 2017!

Headed off to Lakeside today, very successful trip in the end! These are what the stores had in the order I visited them:

Asda - Wave 1 Carnivals at £7.99, few singles at £6. Had a sidekick/bin that had already been picked clean, a couple of Carbons at £7.99

Smyth's - About 40-50 singles. Picked up my 1st new car of the day, Artist Ramone! Singles at £5.99. No 2-packs or Deluxe.

Toys R Us - Wave 2 Carnivals! £7.99 each. Picked up Max, Rip, Nigel and Miguel. Also had loads of RS Classics, picked up Costanzo Della Corza. Had about 10 Terry Gong's at £12.99, so left him. Had the RS Classic pack with Luigi and Guido with Bucket/Rollers for £29.99, left that as well. 5 new cars in 1 shop!

Tesco - 5 singles. All pegwarmers. £5.99 each.

Hamley's - 25-30 singles, £8.49 each. All from early 2016, Justin Partson, Artist Ramone, Andy Vaperlock etc.

The Entertainer - 30-40 singles. Lots of Ice Racers. Picked up Resized Fred for £4.89. Mostly the same cars as Hamely's.

Disney Store - 50-60 singles. Had 2 Coriander Widetrack. Picked up Variant Boost. But the best find of the day, not 1 but 2 Vic Vanleys!!! Got 1, him and Boost £5.99 each.

Sainsbury's - 2 Cars. Sedanya Oksanian and Snot Rod. £6. Left both.

Not a single Toon, Deluxe or 2 Pack in sight all day!

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any of those Carbons today. It seemed as though everywhere had an Ice and Carnival Racer takeover, I only found a total of 5-10 Carbons in all 8 stores I went too!

Oh, ok. No worries
