Disney Stores have got a new 2018 case, their first one for over a year! It's got Lizzie, Maddy McGear and Metallic Mario Andretti in it. Dates around 1988EAA. I grabbed a Mario at £6.29.

Nice find on the new Singles case, StuartW... many of those have been hard to find... now if only we can find in stores new Cars we don't have.

found that case in disney, at 6.29 left them where they were, sick of getting ripped off by that mob in town

nothing much about apart from the blind bags, a fair bit of price difference between stores, spotted a lady looking thru them in tesco with a list of codes on her phone, got chatting, she asked me if was the legendry boogity or that ginger ru5ty, I told her I was the former, she was well chuffed!!

I am interested to hear this case has hit Tesco! How much are they? I found the same case In Morrisons last week priced at £7 each. I also picked up Carl Clutchen, Adam Parke and metallic Dino Draftsky. All the Tescos near me still have racing centre LMQ and all the assortment from the first cases of cars 3. Been a tough year for collecting but glad to see new cars are about.

The 2018 cases we have had so far in the UK are:

Amended 02.01.2019 - Information from European collectors and dealers. Thanks!

974U (Similar to US 9565) (3197EAA) - Initially at Smyths superstores in September but followed by Disney Stores. Smyths refused the 3no McQueens and the cases were overstickered 8503.

974W/923W (US 957A) (3337EAA) - Again Smyths only so far. No McQueens and overstickered 8502.

974Y (US 957B) - A very limited number appeared at Disney. I've only seen the remnants. Hopefully the case will be more widely distributed in the new year now that 975A has been seen everywhere? Like the early 2018 cases, manufactured at the end of 2017, the cars have Sellotape on them.

975A (US 957F) (0408/1308/2818EAA) - Initially ASDA, then Smyths (8501 no McQueens). Recently, this case has been found at ASDA, Morrisons, Tesco and Hamleys with the later date. The Cars are selling well!

975B (US 957G) - Europe only so far.

975C (US 957J) - Europe only so far.

975D (US 957P) - Disney Store only. Quite a lot still around. Selling well.

975E (US 957R) - Reports that this has just appeared at 'small' stores. Like the 974Y case, I'm looking forward to seeing this case!

975F and 975G have been reported in mainland Europe. I guess they must be US 957S and 957T?

I'll try and post contents for cases I've not reported so far! Later today or tomorrow!
