Just been to my local tesco extra which I work next to so stop there most days. past month or so all they have had is the usual silver cars, McQueen and Francesco. But today they had a few iv not seen before. They had Darrell cartrip with head set x2 miles axlerod with open hood x1 Edwin kranks x2 sputter stop No92 x2 cactus McQueen x3 and mama topolino x1 I only had enough money on me to get 2 so picked up Darrell and sputter. I've got the rest except open hood axel hopefully they still have him later when i get chance to go back over!

Same case spotted in Sainsbury's Taplow. Left Miles as we already have him but did get a Charlie Checker.

There's no case letter as these are directly imported to TRU from Mattel Asia. However, let's call it case *F* for simplicity!

The contents of the Radiator Springs Classic case that's currently being delivered to TRU is as follows ...

RADIATOR SPRINGS LIGHTNING McQUEEN - 2
RAMONE (Purple) - 1
CHICK HICKS - 1
THE KING - 2
LIL TORQUEY PISTONS - 1
MATER - 2
NICK STICKERS - 3

The last three are first issues into the UK. The case I saw today had a date stamp of 1783EAA.

The RSC cars that haven't been released in the UK are as follows ...

FLO
N2O COLA
OCTANE GAIN
RON HOVER
SHERIFF
MARILYN
SPUTTER STOP
RACE TOW TRUCK TOM

Catching up on this thread and then looking at the general (US) one make for a very depressing comparison!

We're being punished by Mattel UK for buying too many cars. They obviously don't want or need our money!

Question for Mattel UK ...

We have money.
We would like to swap it for cars.
You manufacture more of what we want.
We give you more money.
You make a bigger profit.
What's so difficult about that?

Best place to look for a 'fresh' case

Nicely priced at £3 each too.
