Just got Shriram from Target today! Only need four more cars from Case R now (Tailgate, Rust-eze Cruz Ramirez, Marilyn and Race Tow Truck Tom.)

What all is in case R? Is there an up to date case listing list on here?

Righton, thanks.

is there a notable variance between a China Markus and a Thailand one?

The Thailand Markus supposedly has a brighter paint job (all the Thailand Cars do from what I've been told)... the eyes are also different.

I'll try to do side by side comparison photos after I open them - I've been busy with lawn mower repair and trying to get our central air conditioner system working the last 2 week - the mower is fixed but not the AC... probably going to have to replace both the AC and furnace - both are 28 years old.

I found Marilyn at Target in Lakewood ohio today. Any idea what case she is in? It wouldn't even ring up in the target system.

Awesome finds, sbdolan and SamB2003! Congratulations!

I did find the Thailand version of Markus Krankzler that you found once, SamB2003..I haven't found the new deluxe in stores that you found, sbdolan.

Scored Markus Krankzler (The Thailand version) at Target today!

Had a decent find today in Rocky River Ohio at Target. I left CB behind as i already have one, but i was happy to find both Franks and Dan Haulin. Picked up another Murray Clutchburn to go with.

Made a quick trip to SW Ohio this morning... bought Cars at 3 of 4 Walmart stores... nothing new at the 1 Target or 1 Meijer that I stopped at - Target had gotten in another of the 2017 cases with Taco! The Thomasville Cars have yet to be distributed at most Walmart stores and the Fireball Beach Cars sold out at Target weeks ago and have not been restocked... still no sign of the newest Target 11 pack either.

Here are today's finds and purchases:
Walmart 1:


Walmart 2:


I bought the Speedy Comet Launcher and Frank at Walmart 3; left a Speedy Comet at Walmart 4.


All in all, my best day Cars shopping in a long time.

Congratulations on finding Charlie Cargo on 2018 card, SamB2003... even though I have only seen 3 2018 singles in stores in my county, I've seen Deluxe and 2 packs... Hopefully we all see new Cars soon.

I made a quick trip to SW Ohio after church today... I had my best Cars day in a while...


I stopped at 3 O'Reilly Auto Parts, 4 Walmart, 1 Target, 1 Meijer, and 1 Kroger... I'd never seen Florida Ramone in a store so I bought it at the first O'Reilly... and then saw it without a collector card at 3 Walmarts... the 2nd Walmart had a Speedy Comet, Thomasville Jackson Storm, Scavenger Hunt McQueen, and Rich & Sheldon... Walmart 3 had Tom W, Rich, & Sheldon... I left a Scavenger Hunt McQueen at Kroger - it was $4.99 and the card was not good... I had hoped to find the new 11 pack at Target but they didn't have it... all in all it was a good Cars day... even though the regular singles at Walmart were now $3.72 plus tax each (they had been $3.47 each since the launch of Cars 3 toys back in 2017).

[SamB2003]

Scored Charlie Cargo (2018 card) yesterday at Myer! The only 2018 cars we’ve got in Australia so far is the Deluxes. Hope singles arrive soon.

Found at the local Meijer before work this morning...


I bought the Tailgate/Pushover 2 pack and the Dinoco Crew Chief Pitty 2 pack - the Dinoco 2 pack may turn into a custom Rev N Go Crew Chief and pitty.

I left the Deluxe - I have them all already and don't care about cardbacks.

[GotFrank]

A tiny consolation prize.

I found these 2 new 3 packs at the local Walmart this evening, July 25, 2018





No Thomasville Legends singles... no new singles... no Speedy Comet launcher... no variant 5 packs... at least I found something new in the store.
