Awesome finds, boogity, rossibutton, and niftynigel! Congratulations! Case AB had an extremely limited release... I ordered a case through Get Me Collectibles when they first got it... I only saw remnants of the case at a few Walgreen's (pharmacy chain) stores and never the Racing Red Mater... it's not even been available in quantity on eBay.

And yes, I've opened Pam Wheeldarrow as well, VANDANCE - the drum kit is a great accessory.

ASDA have entered into a partnership with The Entertainer. Initially, five stores including the huge Kingston Vale store are part of the experiment. The Entertainer will be responsible for product range and pricing. As The Entertainer don't generally sell current / mainline stuff, what does this mean for the current singles?

Kingston Vale had two cases of Rocket Racers on Saturday at £5 each. No other Cars products in store.

Good range showing up in supermarkets around me, AG case in both Sainsbury’s and Asda, also picked up a metallic Snot Rod from Sainsbury’s. Shame haven’t seen any AB cases...

Finally found a Faregame at the Disney Store too at the weekend!

Thanks for the tip off!

I went to a few local Sainsburys and ASDA last night. It appears that Sainsburys have at least two AG cases per store, with a couple who clearly had more than two cases.

Anyway, I picked up Lizzie (one of my favourites), Muddy Rust-Eze Racing Centre Lightning McQueen and Hot Rod Louise Nash to go with Pam Wheeldarrow and View Zeen Racing Tractor that I picked up on Saturday at an ASDA in East London.

The only case that hasn't appeared so far is the AB case or a variation of it - Disney Store quite often get a their own assortments. So far this year, their AA and AC assortments have mirrored the general circulation cases.

After reading Nifty Nigel’s recent success - congrats on the finds btw! I dropped into a few Asda stores today. Only 1 had new clip strips. I scored Pam Wheeldarrow, muddy racing centre LMQ, Fast Fong, Hot Rod Louise Nash, Jimmy Cables, Blindspot and Brian Spark. Happy to get a number of fresh releases!

Congratulations on your new Asda finds, VANDANCE! Case AG is a great case!

As can be seen from my previous post, the UK cases are 96 rather than 95 in the US. I don't know whether 96 is unique to the UK and Ireland? Probably the whole of Europe at least?

[niftynigel]

Case 96AF has been found at ASDA and Smyths today. I purchased Robert Jam Jones, Brian Spark, Joe Don Johnson, M Fast Fong, Saludos Amigos Ramone, Lightning McQueen with Cone, Todd Marcus and Racing Red Sally.

Todd Marcus was actually released a few years ago in the UK. He was in the truncated case that appeared at TK Maxx, just before Cars 3 was released. There were just a few. I never saw him, so it's great to finally get him!

Great finds, nigel! Congratulations! I have never seen the Sputter Stop Tractor in a store... Hoping to find case AG singles soon - they are the only ones I still need from the Spring 2021 poster.
