well after looking at a wants list a few days ago a fellow member of this site posted that he'd seen a good deal for a set of cars on the wants list for a good price off a very large and well known online retailer.so i thought i'd have a looky at the site and see what i could come up with.
this is the result of that nights searching.

If you purchase from amazon uk, will they send to the US?

no i do not think they do.you could try to contact a 3rd party seller on amazon to do it,but i think amazon itself won't

Conrad and I split the cost of 4 Pit Crew sets from dailysteals.com... it came today:

From the box, it was packaged on day 299 of 2009... over 2 years ago:


2 Octane Gain:


1 HTB and 1 Dinoco:


I saw very few of those in Target stores when they were out... most were stuck with the Team Leakless hauler/racer/pitty sets... This was a full case...

Here's the newest Quick Changers which I saw and left in 1 Indianapolis Target store on Saturday night:


I can't help but feel there are more cases somewhere in a warehouse... the Bumper Save set was very rare... I saw the case with 2 Nitroade, 1 Octane Gain, and 1 Team Rusteze at both Big Lots and Gordman's stores back in the winter of 2010.

Sorry for the poor photo quality... I was in a hurry to get to work and took quick photos using my phone.

[djjd21]

nice score with the team sets,i was really tempted to take up the offer and buy a few myself,i wish i had now,team dinoco and team htb are to die for.
the 2 x nitroade,1 octane gain and 1 x team rusteze case has been appearing in our local tru for the last couple of months.i don't know where they keep appearing from.

[cac1959]

Thanks, Jason... that case that you mention is one of the Target exclusive sets - Target ended up canceling the order... Did you buy any of the Nitrade, Octane Gain, and Rusteze sets from your local TRU? I'm curious as to whether they re-did the box and removed the Only at Target logo.

The Team Crew Sets with crew chief and 3 pittys are another canceled Target exclusive... Some of the Final Lap cases (that were another US Target exclusive) appeared in the UK at Disney Stores - Target had decreased the number of those cases that they ordered after Mattel had made them, which is why they showed up in the Disney Store.

[djjd21]

yes have them all chris and still 2 x nitroades down in store i think.
and again have all the team crew sets as well,also down in our tru.only leak less,nitroade and bumper save there last i looked.

I found a Lewis Hamilton single at the Richmond (Indiana) Meijer last night and bought it this morning... What's special about that? Other than seeing one case F (Nigel Gearsley and Hydraulic Ramone) there back in November and 1 case E (with Miles Axelrod), there's been nothing newer than the B and D case singles there since last May.
