Here's hoping we start seeing new Cars soon... although sources who were saying May 12 are now saying June 1...

We had more finds and more posts in April than in the previous months, but many of us didn't find many if any new Cars in April.

Great pics will look out for them

Those look so cool. Unfortunately for us Yanks, not a whole lot of those April scores were found in the U.S. Let's hope June 1st doesn't get pushed back to June 21st, and so on.

Home bargains had singles for Ł1.58 but only had finns and maters.

Hey guys.

Been away for along time as nothing seems to have happened here in the UK since number 27 came out here. Anyone here in the UK finding anything new, haulers or number 28 and above...?

Old style just been restocked. Makes a change from just mater/zen master and mcqueen packs.

Is there any difference between darrell from cars 1 and cars 2?

There are some minor differences between Darrell Cartrip from Cars1 to Cars2... actually, there were changes in Darrell Cartrip during the Cars 1 era... somewhere I have a photo which shows the various Darrell Cartrip Cars.

Here's a photo showing the Cars Darrell Cartrip with the corrected mouth and the Cars2 version:


I know I've got another photo which shows these two along with the Chase Darrell Cartrip with metallic paint and the original Darrell Cartrip with the "clown mouth".
