Great Britain and Northern Ireland 2018/19/20/21/22/23 Finds

[niftynigel]

I hope this works, a list of recent (2020 cardback cases, US and UK compared).

It looks like case 963L is probably Euro-wide as it's been available at Hamleys, Smyths and Morrisons and has the same contents as US 946A.

Case 946B has only been found at Smyths and is identical to Disney 20A. This would appear to be UK exclusive.

Case 946C has only been found at Smyths so far. Again it would appear to be a UK exclusive assortment.

Datestamps:

The UK 962B and Disney 20A case is similar to the US 958Y case. After a long absence, Met at T5AD has started to post case contents again. He's started with a roundup of older cases.

found mood springs micro racer in tesco, pretty nice, bought the no 10 car from demolition derby , the name escapes me, think it no 39, anyone got the latest codes, seem to be up to mid 40s

Nice finds, I got the same ones from Asda. The codes are on page one of the micro racer check list thread, series 4 boxes. Good luck hunting!

cars are 7 quid in tesco and blind boxes are 3, something wrong here

[boogity]

did find dinoco metallic mcqueen in an older box, pleased with that

[cac1959]

thanks chris, wonder what no miss fritter is?

Miss Fritter appears to be in a 3 pack so far, so as far as I know there's no single boxed version, boogity.

I believe you're right as far as Jackson Storm being removed from the 962C case, niftynigel... I'll verify my case contents later...

And the 2020 singles (and 2 packs) cards are definitely thinner, VANDANCE... I like the design of the art on the 2020 cards but with the thin cardboard they don't hold up for carded collectors... what that means is I'll buy fewer duplicates.

The contents of 962C case:

Rust-Eze Racing Centre Lightning McQueen
Cal Weathers
APB
Dinoco Cruz Ramirez
Trainer Cruz Ramirez
Nigel Gearsley with Flames - 2
Fighting Face Mater
Old School Ramone
Jamalaya Chimichanga
Metallic Silver Chick Hicks
Kurt with Bug Teeth
Noah Gocek - 2
Harvey Rodcap
Metallic Silver Jackson Storm
Snot Rod - 2
Paul Conrev - 2
Liability - 2

22 cars!

There were two cars removed, possibly Jackson Storm? Smyths had probably made a deal not to take him this time like they did with LMQ a couple of years ago!

yes thanks Chris, great to pick up some new pieces, I must admit I don’t like the 2020 cards as much as the 2019 cards, but that’s me being picky!

I agree with you about the 2020 cards! I probably liked the 2018-2019 cards too much - I bought more cars than I originally intended!

[VANDANCE]

Glad to hear that you've both gotten great new Cars, VANDANCE and niftynigel! Congratulations!

The case that Smyths have just got is 962C.

I'll post the full contents ASAP.

Suffice to say, I bought seven more Cars!
