    Thanks for the heads up Chris!

    I picked up Primer Lightning McQueen and Intro Ramone at TK Maxx. £5.99 each on US cardback (and no sellotape unlike the UK/EU versions at TRU a couple of years ago).

    Smyths have a new case. I'll post full details, hopefully tomorrow. I bought nine Cars there at £6.99 each.

    It's about time Smyths got something new, they have tended to buy too many of the same case - maybe unavoidable as the number of retailers stocking Cars in the UK has reduced dramatically. Maybe Mattel need to do the hard sell a little more vigorously? if there's new stuff, it does sell!

    Found on Saturday November 16 in the UK at TK Maxx and Smyth's by Johnny Hale



    Good luck to our UK friends/members finding these new Cars.

    Awesome find, boogity! Congratulations! I understand that the high price took a little of the shine off, but Kurt's a great Car I'm looking forward to.

    And your previous post where you mentioned Tesco... my wife and I went to see a play called Calendar Girls last weekend... the setting was a town in the UK... they shopped at Tesco and there was a Tesco bag used as a prop... took me back to the days when I received Cars from UK friends and the Cars were wrapped in bags from Tesco and/or Asda... been awhile.

    Sorry to hear that Sainsbury's and Tesco's have stopped selling singles, StuartW... we are seeing stores eliminating Cars merchandise in other countries as well - it's happening in more the the USA and UK.

    Its all very quiet on here. All the Sainsburys and Tesco's near me seem to have stopped selling singles (only have mini racers). Asda and Smyths still seem to be getting new singles.

    well all that case in tescos is away, so it proves that given a good price and good stock cars still sell, its not rocket science mattel, man up!

    Mattel have resumed deliveries to Hamleys in Regent Street. Guess what? They've got more of the 975A case!

    Disney Store in Oxford Street looked like it had a load more of that case too! Even though that case has been around for about TEN months, the newer cars still sell well, leaving plenty of peg-warmers!
