I wish I could be so frugal boogity, I saw all the new cars today and in the excitement I bought the lot! £50 later I got to take home all the new cars from the ‘on the road’ releases. I did get one bargain - the Snowmobile from last year was in stock and reduced to clear at £2. So I felt a little more comfortable with that purchase!

The final 2022 (UK) case 96BM first appeared at the end of November at the aptly named B&M stores. There appeared to be no rhyme or reason why some stores got them and others haven't so far. There are three stores on my routes, the smallest store get a regular supply of Cars and Hot Wheels, but the medium and large stores appear to keep getting the XRS Mug and Drag Racers, lots of them!

Smyths followed B&M by getting the 96BM case this week.

I got the six new cars we wanted.

I believe, unless someone can confirm otherwise, cases BE, BH and BL have not appeared in the UK.

This means the following new cars haven't appeared in the UK ...

Damaged "The King"	BH/BL	HFB70	1 94735 03634 9	R13A
Finish Line Lightning McQueen	BH	HFB46	1 94735 03664 6	R13A
Keith Kone	BH	HFB67	1 94735 03636 3	R13A
Spin Out Lightning McQueen	BH	HFB57	1 94735 03652 3	R13A
Racing Centre Cruz Ramirez (Metallic Gold) (COTR)	BL	HHT69	1 94735 07652 9	R27A
Kay Pillar (COTR)	BL	HHV04	1 94735 07651 2	R27A

Boogity, your perception is spot on. I have already found lots of the On The Road singles as well as the new cars releases in B&M over a week ago. Got George New-win and Fliped over for the price of one single. Keep a look out!

Congratulations, niftynigel! I've yet to see case BK in a store - I have received a few of the Cars from a friend and have another friend sending me the remaining Cars that I want from the case.

[niftynigel]

Sainsburys have just got the BK case, two of each per store.
.
I tried to buy one of each of the new cars, but they hadn't been put in the system.
.
The first store flatly refused to sell them and promptly removed all cars, about 60 plus, from the shelves!
.
I went to another store. The helpful customer service lady found a barcode and scanned them in one-by-one!
.
Those eight cars lightened my wallet by £56.

I too was in oxford st on the day before the london marathon, walked from british museum to disney shop, Oxford st was packed out, disney shop was pretty poor I must say, didnt venture to hamleys as I knew what the outcome would be , plus I had enough to do the following day
went to B and M when I got home to Belfast, found Colin, nice car and on the road Mcqueen, at 3.99 each , ye cant beat that, clearly they got the march on Smyths.

[niftynigel]

I was in Oxford Street the other day for the Uriah Heep concert at London Palladium.

I popped into Hamleys.

They had singles case BF, priced at £14 each! With the current exchange rate that's about 15-16 USD / Euros!

They had Colour Changers at £20.

Disney Store had loads more 2021 cars at £7.50.
