    The cards look like the European clipstrip cards. They quite often appear as a stop-gap before proper singles cases appear. ASDA had two clipstrip assortments last year and earlier this year. As they sold so well, I guess that ASDA decided to purchase regular cases?

    Cases 976D and 976E were UK only assortments.

    Hopefully we might get a 976F to round up some of the unreleased singles!?

    If there are to be no more 2018-2019 singles released in the UK, my final tally purchased was 78 singles. That was many more than I had intended to purchase, especially as many of them were £7.50 (GBP). I really like the card design, possibly my favourite so far, plus the excellent quality of those made in Thailand, encouraged me to buy almost the whole of some of the cases!

    I'm warming to the 2020 card design, but I can't help thinking that Mattel should've continued with the 2018-2019 design to complete all outstanding touted cars.

    It's really encouraging to see some new posters on here. It's even more encouraging that there are new collectors too!

    You never know what might turn up! Bentalls (Fenwicks) were stocking the Mud Racer singles. That was a surprise.

    Stopped at Meijer this morning before work... was shocked to find my best store finds in a long, long time on the pegs... the "missing" made in China Scavenger Hunt Case... I paid $15 each (shipped) for Cruz, Cal, and Jackson last fall on eBay... they'd been found at a handful of Target stores but hadn't been found in months.


    Cal Weathers with Rubber Tires



    Chick Hicks with Rubber Tires and Trophy - the hood says Chick Hicks and not Hostile Takeover Bank.



    Cruz with Rubber Tires



    Jackson Storm with Rubber Tires





    Scavenger Hunt Marilyn is the Made in China metallic version which is different from the Made in Thailand version... I didn't have this Car before today... there's 1 in the case... there are 2 each of the other 4 Scavenger Hunt Cars with rubber tires in the case.

    The rest of the case of 18 includes 1 Conrad Camber, 1 Rich Mixon, 1 Guido/Luigi, 2 Mater, and 4 assorted Lightning McQueen Cars.

    I was just so excited to see these this morning... I'll check more stores in the coming week(s) and have friends looking as well... they've been on Amazon but temporarily out of stock for months (at least 6 months if not longer).

    Checked the local Walmart at lunch today... it paid off... first time I've seen 2020 2 packs...


    Here's what I bought... I have some coming in a package that hopefully arrives next week.


    The Waitress Mia and Tia are supposed to be unibody variants... I'll have to verify.

    I bought the Hydraulic Ramone single - I intend to use a Fan Favorites Team 95 Ramone with the Hydraulic Ramone body to create custom Hydraulic Team 95 Ramone once I pick up a single - I'm going to keep my Fan Favorites 4 pack in the box.

    Good luck hunting!
