Went on a short vacation to Branson, Missouri last week... I did find and purchase a few case P Cars at an Indianapolis Target Wednesday night.



I saw the newest 11 pack for the second time but once again decided not to purchase it.

I checked a handful of Walmart stores in Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri but found nothing else that I wanted to buy.

Thanks for the details on the new Cars case at Morrison's, niftynigel!

I stopped at Aldi and Walmart stores in 2 small towns yesterday... 1 Walmart had case M singles minus Scavenger Hunt Rex - I bought Barry DePedal... got the Mater and Michael Rotor at 1 Aldi... found Scavenger Hunt Marilyn at the 2nd Aldi - she will be opened shortly.


Here's SH Marilyn - I'll try to take better photos later.

Is it Normal Nick or Metallic Nick?

Normal Nick Stickers is in the US 958M case; the Metallic Nick is in case 958E and 959F.

My grandson and I rode with GOMATERGO yesterday to go to a couple of stores so I could do some walking as part of my rehab after suffering a heart attack last week... Found and purchased a few Cars at the Target store we stopped at (as well as the Avengers Infinity Wars and Captain Marvel Blu-ray movies):



After a couple of stores we had lunch and headed home... it's going to take a while to build back my strength.

All the best with your recovery cac1959, hope that it will be a steady one

I've seen the remnants of the US 958M case (possibly 976F in the UK) at a number of Morrisons. One very small store had over 50 cars, so they've have probably three cases! Anyway, I picked up Barry dePedal, Greta, Vandon Kerr plus a couple of Cars 3 repeats. I haven't seen all the cars supposedly in this case yet. I haven't seen Kevin Ryan, Nick Stickers or Maddy McGear.

Quick trip to Indianapolis yesterday to take 2 grandchildren home... after lunch and IKEA, I checked out a few stores... Found and bought these Fireball Beach singles at the one Target store we went to...

I decided not to buy the new 11 pack or the latest Fireball Beach 4 pack with Cam Spinner...

One Meijer had the case of Mud Racers with Speedy Comet but I already have Speedy Comet Mud Racer - it's the only Mud Racer I've purchased.

The new 11-pack design feels very bland. However it does resemble the old ice racers packagin

Awesome finds, nice to hear Steve Hearsal and metallic Nick are about, locally we have a pop up Disney Store at Cribbs Causeway but they have taken all Mattel diecast away and replaced them with the larger own brand products.....may have to take a trip to Cardiff!!

I've bought 13 cars in the UK today. It looks like there are three new cases doing the rounds in the UK. One of the cases, including Steve Hearsal is at Disney Stores. Other stores to get new stuff are Morrisons and Smyths. As they've only just started to arrive, I guess they'll be around for a few weeks! I'm at a concert tonight, Styx at London Palladium! More details about new cars tomorrow!

Great finds, niftynigel! Congratulations! Styx was big when I was in college... hard to believe all these rock bands are still playing.

Looking forward to finding out which Cars you bought...it's been a long time since I bought 13 Cars in 1 day... update - looks like you bought 17 different Cars... that's brilliant! I've only seen 9 of those Cars in US stores and chose not to buy Cam Spinner and Jet Robinson.

Nice price, boogity - hopefully you can take advantage of that sale price.
