apart from one or two there was just one each on the shelf
they also had 5 or 6 boxes of queens/funny car mater/the sumo ref though no cars actually out on the shelves
US case B or case W1938-997P will be exclusive to Disney Stores, if they (DS) are to be believed!

Fantastic find and photos, yuffie... I see several Cars I like... want... need...
Would you be able to take a picture of Dexter Hoover with Checkered flag at an angle where we could see the mouth? I'd like to see how it compares to the Final Lap release.
To answer your question, Fillmore Bully has often appeared as the name on the UK version of Fillmore going back to the earlier days... I should have a carded one that I can take a photo of... Lightning McQueen is called Flash McQueen... I have several international carded Cars... I like them.

Originally posted by niftynigel View PostAnother couple of collectors contacted Mattel UK regards the launch date for the 2013 mainline standard singles, deluxe and doubles. They were told the same as me, the end of March at the earliest. That's Mattel's date for shipping, so unless stores get stuff directly from Mattel, expect 2013 stuff to hit the shops in early April, a full FIVE months after the US, FOUR months after Canada and THREE months after Australia and the rest of Europe.

Seems Target have greatly reduced the amount of shelf space for Cars merchandise across all stores so I'd be amazed if any 2013 singles were about to hit soon. Looks like they are making room for TMNT merch instead!
Do you get yours on a US card design and international card designs? I know Canada have a mix, being a predominantly English speaking country, I thought you might do to?

Great photo of Dexter Hoover's mouth, yuffie... thank you... I agree with carslover - looks just like the Final Lap Dexter Hoover with checkered flag (coming soon to an article on PCD...)
From left to right: WOC Dexter Hoover with Yellow Flag, custom, TRU Dexter with green flag, Final Lap Dexter with checkered flag):
Congratulations on finding 2013 singles, niftynigel... You mentioned that Erik Lanely has Fiat scratched out on the bottom... there have been posts on both TakeFiveADay and carsthetoys.com about that - we'll post on that same topic one of these days.
And OzzieMum - I hope you find 2013 Cars soon...
