Just got back from a short vacation to the Myrtle Beach South Carolina area... 18 stores in South Carolina and North Carolina... I bought Broadside and Pushover at an Aldi grocery in South Carolina... I bought nothing at multiple Walmart and Target stores (although 1 North Carolina Target did have 2018 2 packs but since the Gabriel/Aiden 2 pack was gone I didn't buy any)... I saw the 2018 Deluxe Arvy at 2 Walmart stores... no 2018 singles anywhere.

Bummed that the only TRU I went to had only McQueen, Sarge, and Guido/Luigi singles.

Distribution is absolutely pitiful.

I scored Mini Racers 3, 4, 5, and 11 today from Target.

Only now need 2, 6, 7, 9, and 12 to complete Wave 1.

Scored Mini Racers #2, 7, 9, 12, and 13 from Target today. I now need Cal Weathers to complete Wave 1. Also, you can see that update in my collection (page 3, post #29)

Me old mate and forum member Stuart W hooked me up with this in the week. Thanks pal!! I have a back door ebay version I got from China about 4 years ago and apart from the extra detail in the hat, it’s the same model.

[GotFrank]

Eh... There are subtle differences. Most notably the chinstrap\bumper. The retail release has finer detail and a smaller buckle. The eyes are different, the windows are slightly different in size. And the headlamps and indicators are swapped. To mention a few. But I'm sure the backdoor was from an earlier factory sample. After a side by side comparison. So either the factory "lost" the first mold. Or Mattel had some concerns and had them remake it.

[SamB2003]

Scored Scott Tiller from TRU today while I was in Sydney for my appointment. I now need Sally with Tattoo to have all the RS Classic diecasts.

Awesome finds, VANDANCE and SamB2003! Congratulations!

My recent store finds are not exciting at all... On 2018 cardback Dinoco Cruz Ramirez.

Cars 3 Cardback Cars (at various TRU stores):
HJ Hollis, Rusteze McQueen, Phil Tankson, Louise Nash, Terry Kargas, Ed Truncan, Herb Curbler.

Birthday cardback Cars:
Sarge, Radiator Spring McQueen, and Yellow Ramone - I left them all - I don't need any more of those on any card.

And in unrelated news, today is April 9 - we have had accumulating snow in eastern Indiana 4 of the last 9 days which is crazy.

[GotFrank]

Where are all the Vitoline haulers? There's a tom on eBay. All my WM's are gridlocked with last Christmas' Dinoco, RPM & Wallys.

[Raginpage]

RPM? Do you mean Octane?

[GotFrank]

Yeah, yeah. Bobby Swift's. My bad.
