  • Missing 2017 Cars (Pre Cars 3), Found?????

    When the Cars 3 Diecast's started being released, we didn't see the rest of the 2017 collection and numbers were missing from each individual collection, now it appears that some are showing up at TK Maxx stores in the UK. I haven't found any completely new models yet but have been finding some 2017 carded singles that I haven't seen any carded photos of before.

    The Mattel and 3+ logo on the bottom left of the card is much larger on these newer 2017 singles than the ones we found earlier on in the year.

    TK Maxx doesn't get cases of cars but only gets a few randomly at each store so there could be many more out there, has anybody else been finding these?, also does anybody have a list of the cars that never got released into the 2017 collection that should have done?

    With 2018 around the corner I doubt we'll be seeing any other stores stock these cars.

    I'm visiting a few more stores tomorrow so I'll see what I can find, if anybody needs any of these message me and ill see if I can get hold of any more.

        Hope we can also find the missing 4 from the Piston Cup Pit Crew series, and Todd Marcus (10/11?) in the Piston Cup series.

          BTW, what are the numbers on the four singles you found and the last two?

            Nice finds, rossibutton.

            We missed a few Cars in the US as well, this year and every year... Mattel has always put too many pegwarmers early on in cases for the year and then we either get end of year cases with lots of new Cars (2012 case P, 2017 cases L/T, etc) or we don't see all announced Cars released.

            This year it looks like the Deluxe case with Stu (flatbed truck), variant Al Off Lightyear Blimp, and Jocko Flocko Mack (cab only) has turned up in Europe but not the US... I have a Stu in transit but chose not to buy the other 2.

            TJ Maxx and Marshalls, which are US stores in the TJX family (UK equivalent of TKMaxx) are the same way - a few occasional Cars be it singles, Deluxe, or 2 packs - I've only seen complete cases one time.

              A little strange that this post is only viewable in the app. And not on my PC browser.

                There are a few strange things going on... I was unable to view this post at home using Chrome on my Windows 10 desktop PC but I can view it fine at work using Firefox on a Windows 10 PC... I haven't tried my Windows 10 laptop at home recently.

                I now usually reply first using the Tapatalk App on my iPhone so I can add photos... dang Photobucket.

                  Like other users, I was having trouble viewing the newest posts!

                  Anyway, after a lot of hassle I managed to sign up to Tapatalk.

                  After reading this post, I've visited a few TK Maxx. I've found 13 different cars plus a few RDTRIP singles. It looks like all the cars are from the touted 974E case. They all have recent datestamps on them, so maybe the rest of the case will be found?

                  The final Cars 3 singles case 965K (overstickered with 966D) has been found in Sainsburys and now ASDA. I'll post the full contents as soon as I confirm all 24 cars in the case!
