My wife and I started to collect Cars 2 singles at the beginning of February this year. I was rearranging some displays and I found a Supercharged RS Lighting McQueen that my wife had bought some years ago. It was still in it's card/blister pack, mint! When I was on a lunch break at work, I popped into a Sainsbury supermarket and saw some singles cards. Out of curiosity, I bought one of each one they had, not knowing how many there were in the series! There was No. 1 - Mater, No. 2 - Finn, No. 4 - Francesco and No. 26 - Lightining McQueen. It was only when I got home and showed my wife, I noticed the numbers! Not knowing there were websites dedicated to Cars collecting, I looked at Amazon to find other models (and their numbers).
We had no idea how many cars there were (outside the Cars 2 range between No. 1 and No. 26).
I was in London that weekend and purchased seven in Hamleys. Within a week we had 15. I then found Pixar.wikia.com/cars! Oh boy! We were hooked!
My wife decided to collect Desert and Supercharged and I'll collect just Cars 2 singles!
I went Bentalls, Kingston-upon-Thames. Out of curiosity, I wonder what their toy department is like? They had a sale on! I bought 24 World Of Cars models at £1.99 / £2.25 GBP each!
Frustrated at no new Cars 2 stuff, I started to collect Cars 2 Deluxe and Doubles as they were being sold in sales at TRU and Model Zone respectively!
We now have about 250 Cars models and about 70 Cars 2 models!
We've tried to be consistent. Desert/Supercharged (US), World of Cars (US/UK same), Final Lap/Night Scene Lenticular (International).
Cars 2 singles (International), doubles (US as there are loads of US only), deluxe (1-8 International, 3,4,8,9 US).
