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.

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.
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!
I left carbon rip at a different TRU

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.

Been watching our 2 youngest grandchildren (almost 3 years old grandson and his 8 month old sister) the last 6 days... needless to say, that's kept me busy... they went home today so I went out for a Cars hunt... drove 150 miles around southwestern Ohio:
Here's what I bought:
Bought Andy at a Meijer... got the Carnival Cup racers and Snot Rod at 2 different Target stores... bought the rest at Walmart stores... I could have bought more but didn't.
Andy at Meijer:
I saw these new 3 packs at 1 of 6 Walmart stores:
Here are UPC numbers for the 3 packs:
And I've finally seen the Precision Series Playsets at a Toys R US store:

Stopped at the local Meijer this morning to meet up with my HW buddy... he had a few Cars in his hand - Meijer had put out a singles case D... that's the first time they've had 2 new cases in a row since the Race O Rama days!
I bought Stefan Gremsky and Tank Coat... all of the case D singles have tape on them holding the blister to the cardback.
