Great finds, Silver Frosty and Homercleez!

I made a trip to Indianapolis yesterday morning for a doctor's appointment...stopped at several stores before and after... Found a few Cars and Planes I hadn't seen in stores before... as well as several Otto Bonn... I saw and left 8 Transforming McQueen and 3 Haiki.

Here's what I brought home:


I hadn't seen Andy Vaporlock or Mood Springs in a store (or Octane Gain) - saw them at 1 Meijer and Andy at 1 Target... Roscoe and Zed Custard were at 2 different Walmart stores... I saw Otto at 3 of 5 Walmart stores... The local Meijer is one of their smaller stores (1.5 size) - the Indy Meijer stores are 2.0 size "super stores" - however, ours now has much more space for Cars and Planes than the super stores.

I saw 2016 movie moments at 1 of 2 Toys R US stores and 2 of 3 Target stores I went to.

No sign of case D or newer singles.

And best of all, the report from this new doctor was very positive... I've been fighting a problem for almost a year and a half - it looks like it may finally be almost healed.

Holy bananas look at all of those Ottos!! And congrats on the food news Chris!!

This toys r us was strange as they had a Porto corsa Finn on hydrofoil. I've never seen a deluxe at toys r us down here!




Maybe they're deporting them from here (U.S.). My closest TRU has 25 Porta Corsa Submarine Finns.

Could be!

Makes sense to move stuff around. Something some stores don't do enough of!

Nice one HC!

I saw most of case e in Toyworld and left them including mater with balloon and Vitoline but didn't see holly.

I did buy the new RS 3 pack which I'm very pleased about.

Picked up a Holley with taser today and noticed how much brighter her colour is compared to the 2015 model

I found 2016 case C singles at the local Meijer yesterday... I was quite shocked - Meijer only got 2 2015 cases in during the 2015 Mattel year.

Here's what I found yesterday:


I bought the McQueen with sign and the Nitroade.

My local Hot Wheels friend bought these for me at Meijer yesterday - I got them from him today:


We have very few stores in the county that carry Cars - 1 Walmart, 1 Meijer, 1 Kmart, and 1 Elder-Beerman... Walmart has gotten in Cars from 2016 singles cases A and B... none of the other stores has gotten in new singles, Deluxe, or Movie Moments... pleasantly surprised to find case C singles at Meijer (Meijer has stores in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky)... the 2016 singles are not in the system - had to have them manually entered as toys although I suppose I could have scanned an older single and put the new Car in the bag.

Got them in Coles at The Glen. Still need to check a few local kmarts and Coles. Target still have no 2016 cars, in fact Southland has just got the Brent Jay W case [emoji85]. Pick up your game Target.

Coles has been hit or miss for me this year. Woolworths hasn't had any 2016 cars near me and I've not seen any new cars in target since before xmas. Kmart has been King for me over the past year!

[Homercleez]

Superb! Which shop did you find them in? Kmart?

Found Case E March release cars yesterday. Only 8 new cars for 2016 in this one found 4 so others were gone already and so were the 2 transforming LMQs
