        Boogity we're near bath in wilts. Our shops have literally only had mcqueens,maters and fins uptill the past 3-4 weeks.
        On one trip to disney store we spent close to £100 on cars because we figured if we didnt get them when we did then chances are we wont find them again..theyve only had mcqueen/mater,fin/holly and mcqueen/fran double packs since so lucky we did buy them at the time. Theyve had more shu's,mels and lewis's but have left them for other people to find

          Not Cars related... but still, a good find... went outside this morning to check on my outside dog, and noticed that the daffodils are blooming and 2 of the maple trees have buds... and I've been able to ride my bicycle outside 3 of the last 4 days!

          Spring is coming... how far behind can new Cars be?

            However surprising I think there is a slight variation in the molds.

            Good post Cac1959, I hope this spring is a good one, Cars-related and not.

                  Thank you for the heads-up... even though I have all of those it is tempting... I turned my Dinoco and HTB sets into boxed super sets by adding the crew chief and the 3 pittys... I opened my Octane Gain set to put in the display case...

                  There were only 7 of these sets released: Team Rusteze, Team HTB, Team Dinoco, Team Leakless, Team Octane Gain, Team Nitroade, and Team Bumper Save... in my opinion, Team Bumper Save was the rarest one... I never saw it in a store.

                        will do, but wont be at that particular tescos until next week, and they dont keep stuff over

                        was in the local tesco this morning, there must be another round of cuts as cars2 monoply is down to 4.50, there were no other reduced items but I bet there must be more in the bigger stores, i,m off side for a few days so cant look myself, so get looking

                            Well Todd is a car and he was in Cars and had a Cars specific diecast released......

                            In dry times like this I'll certainly argue your case as a cars related find!!!
