                Nice finds, lovemini... I hope we don't have to wait long to find new Cars, but with Mattel Cars distribution, you never know... We're just a little over 2 months away from the official 1 year anniversary of the Cars2 Mattel launch... I hope we don't have to wait until May to find new Cars.

                      Went to Dayton (Ohio) today to pick up my son at the airport... stopped at a few stores before going to the airport... at the TRU I found and purchased the No Stall hauler (what a coincidence... I just wrote an article on No Stall)... I saw 2 Hudson Hornet Piston Cup Lightning McQueen but as both cardbacks were bad I left them... the Cars section was 1/3 smaller than it had been at this TRU as well... I'm thinking about turning the No Stall hauler into a custom Dale Jr hauler.

                      At one Kmart store I found 3 John Lassetire/Jeff Gorvette 2 packs and bought 2 of them... of 10 Deluxe Cars on the pegs, only 1 was a Submarine Finn McMissile.

                      At Walmart, my son's fiance found a new Lego set with Max Schnell, Raoul Caroule, and McQueen - I thought about it but decided to hold off on it... it was $29.97... nothing else new except for Quick Changers.

                      One Target had case F singles... and a new Only at Target Siddeley that came with 3 Cars - one piece Lightning McQueen, Finn McMissile, and Race Team Mater... I did take a picture... looks like we know what happened with the Finn and Mater singles that Mattel pulled from pegs.




                      At Kohl's, the newest Cars were the Raoul and Francesco launchers... I was able to exchange a suit that one of my grandsons will be wearing this weekend for a slightly larger one... and I found a shirt for 50% off that I'll be wearing to my son's wedding on Saturday.

                              Made a couple of stops out of town earlier today... at a Kmart, I scored 3 Carla Veloso with rubber tires... at a Target, I scored a set of the Collect and Connect Francesco and McQueen puzzles (with the glue problem)... and at Carson's... a Chase Radiator Springs Ramone! The Chase Ramone was $5.99 plus tax.

                              Store finds: 3/7/12


                              Chase Ramone: Carson's (3/7/12)


                              Chase Ramone: cardback with Carson's sticker:



                              Nothing worth buying at either the Toys R Us or Walmart stores... There were some other Cars on the new cardback at the Carson's, but I've already got the Cars and I'm not buying just because it's on a new cardback.

                              I believe these are the first singles I've purchased in a store since mid-November, when I first saw Hudson Hornet Piston Cup McQueen at Kohl's... I also believe the Chase Ramone card is exactly the same as the 2 I got in January (1 on eBay and 1 in a trade).
