Happy New year to all!!

I can confirm the contents of the UK version (96CK) case, currently at Smyths (S23A)...
.

Mallory Karhut	1
Cruisin' Lightning McQueen	1
Dexter Hoover with Green Flag	1
Doc Hudson	1
Drift Party Mater	1
Greebles	2
Lightning McQueen (Cars variant)	1
Lightning McQueen with Racing Wheels	1
Mario Andretti	2
Mateo	1
Mato	1
Nile Speedcone	2
Patty	1
Quadratorquosaur	1
Road Trip Lightning McQueen	2
Road Trip Mater	1
Sheriff	1
Tailgate	1
Tubbs	1
Vladimir Trunkov	1

.
It would appear that Westfalanapus was removed from that case to accommodate Quadratorquosaur. That makes sense to me. They could effectively be the modern day equivalent of the old Chase Car (one time only releases), although we have recently seen Lee Race, former Super Chase car reissued!

Thanks for the case contents listing, I also came across this mix in B&M yesterday afternoon

New finds this morning were most unexpected. I found Mallory Karhut, Mato, Quadratorqdosaur (I think that’s his name) which was a real surprise! Quadratorqdosar is not as heavy as Westflanapus but just as cool! All found on international card.

Those cars are from Case 96CK (v2). One car from the original (US) assortment has been removed and replaced with Quadratorquosaur. These are appearing at Smyths in the UK. I picked up the three you noted plus Cruisin McQueen, Dexter Hoover with Green Flag and Mario Andretti. The paintwork looks great!

good finds you two,
at lunch I spotted cars in our tescos, 7.50 , they were displayed in a wee cardboard display holding about 8 cars maybe , had the taxi and the gold dinoco cruz.... and finn mcmissle, how exciting, still its a start, we heading to whitby next month so lets see whats there, did notice a toymaster on one of those walking videos you can watch.
got the ligier js 5 1976 f1 car yesterday in the shop yesterday, real chuffed, had the foresight to order the fag decals a few weeks ago , so once on the flying teapot is gonna look cool,, just google it if you dont know what i,m on about,,

Great find boogity - I agree, the Deputy Sheriff McQueen is a great Car... I don't have the mini version - I think a photo showing the 1:55 scale and the mini version would be great.

[cac1959]

Awesome finds, VANDANCE... Congtratulations! A friend found Mallory and Mato at a Walmart - they are part of the 12 Car half case but the dinosaur is not... I'm falling further and further behind.

update on Nigel’s post- all of these are now in Morrisons

Case CH has appeared at B&M. It would appear this case has only appeared in Northern England and Scotland.

I picked up Jeremy and Mateo along with Cryptic Buster Mater.

I had seen a listing for this case on the internet, that claimed that there were two different cars in the case, one of them being Quadratorquosaur (currently a Colour Change single).

The contents appear to be:
.

Cave Lightning McQueen	1
Chisaki	1
Crusty Rotor	2
Cryptid Buster Lightning McQueen	2
Cryptid Buster Mater	1
Doc Hudson	2
Gearsten Marshall	1
Griswold	1
