Got a full Kmart set for myself and three more for two other folks from the site. I wish we could find some cars in the wild without a pre-scheduled event like Kday.

Its funny how they are listed online yet none of the stores seem to be stocking them. Noticed they've also had Finn/Leland twin pack listed but states currently out of stock. If they've had the stock to put online why not send it out to the stores rather then just 'click and collect' Also noticed Boots.com has had them listed but ive yet to see them in any stores.. always the usual mater/master pitty

Ive ordered the helmet acer/prof z off Amazon as the delivery is free.. Should arrive this week

[carscrazy]

My twin pack of prof z and helmet acer has arrived today. Good job i planned on opening these as amazons packaging is very poor the plastic on pack is all creased and dented.

Off shopping later so will see if the supermarket has anything new

Nice find on the Prof Z/Acer 2 pack... sorry to hear that you had problems with the packing... I've ordered some boxed sets (and Blu-ray) from Amazon and they don't do a good job of packing them... we should probably start mentioning that so people who collect carded will be aware.

Good luck at your supermarket - one of these days you'll find new Cars there... hopefully it's today...

Just found the pope in Asda

[djjd21]

amazon are indeed terrible for packaging,the only way i had an order consisting of nice carded items was to order multiples of each one,they all came in a big box instead of the dvd shipping packages they sent my first order in.

great score in asda as well millimoo

Had to go to TRU in Reading for a couple of things today. Nothing much doing in the cars aisle as expected, the only odd thing was about 10 Padre's from the Toon line shoved on the shelf.

Also checked out DS and found they had some new 1:43 sized two packs, no Prince Wheeliam but they had a Nigel/Raoule and a Holly/Rod that I haven't seen before. I was tempted but left them in the end. Nothing doing in the mattel line just finns and maters.

Checked out a couple of independents as well but nothing doing, all in all not a good hunting day . Ah well at least I have a package from Conrad to look forward to .

Just found Chase Radiator Springs Ramone at Kohl's. $6 a piece but they were buy-one-get-one half off so I grabbed a Lewis with Tooth Gap that I was needing. Along with a 20% off coupon I paid $7.50 for the both of them.

My wife found this at Hobby Lobby on clearance for $10 a few minutes ago... I asked her to buy it... I'm hoping she did...



Originally $49.99, now on clearance for $10.00...

And here's a cool Route 66 sign for $29.99:



Great score, Bumper Save... You're the first one I know of who's found Chase Radiator Springs Ramone at Kohl's... and great price for 2 Cars...

Found nothing worth mentioning whilst shopping today.. Still no sign of anything new in the way of cars
