    • Went to Smyths toys today and got these



      They had 2 unopened boxes of cars on the top shelf there,they were both full of 2012 cars 2 porto corsa cards and was the case which contained don crumlin,mel dorado,Lewis,etc.
      Also got to open 3 different planes cases looking for rochelle and ishani,but sadly no joy,they had a few chug cases there.
      On about to leave the store the manager pulled me to one side and said that there were more cars in the stockroom,and the cars I had are in the pic provided

          • couple more home bargains finds,
            more light and sounds, finn, francseco, axelrod and rod
            picked up a nice 1.32 ish scale pull back raoul, reckon I could covert this to run on the scalextric track - nice car and nice size
            they only had schu and probably more were there at the beginning

            nigel , how do you think hb gets all this stuff?

              I don't know too much about Home Bargains and other similar outlets, but I guess that there could be a number of reasons?

              1). They have a defined market, being cheaper than elsewhere on a lot of end of line ranges.

              2). They have aggressive buyers / negotiators.

              3). No one else wants the ranges they sell. What stores are willing to stock up on Cars 2 Lights & Sounds and sell them at £8.99 or more?

              4). Mattel UK sources lots of overstocks and rejects from all over the world, often at knock down prices. TRU and Smyths have taken Cars 2 Deluxe, Doubles and some singles. ASDA and Wilkinson have too.
