According to the TRU website singles there are now £5.99, and double packs at £10.99. Given the stock they have, perhaps they are trying to create a museum rather than sell them.

Great finds everyone
TRU are always a joke when we go there.. Only ever have really old stock (hundreds of McQueens/Francesco/Mater) The only double packs we ever see are Mater and zen pitty.
They definitely will not clear the stock at those prices!
I am still waiting for them to reduce the '3 way tie' set from £50 to something a little easier on the wallet lol
Edit:
What is going on with the McQueen in the boxed photo ....

Originally posted by foxrfc View PostA day of success, my local Sainsbury's yielded Cartney Carsper and Cora Copper. Same first case of Deluxe. Nothing in Tesco's just the first case of Deluxe at £12, singles at £5 but all 2013 carded stock
The local Asda a few Neon's which I avoided, hopefully get them in Sainsbury's at the cheaper price. No Deluxe at all
Another Asda and success, Lee Race, Wheel Well Guido, Matthew True Blue, N20 Cola and Fillmore with headset, all still £5. Left Lizzie, as already had her from previous. No Deluxe here either. Interestingly they had a box W1938-998P on the shelf, but had only a few peg warmers left in it. I thought the Lizzie case was 998M, but maybe I missed something.
So think just need to Fiber Fuel and No Stall now.
Great finds. Thanks for the news on the case number, as they are subject to change. It makes sense that this one is 998P as at least they are sort of coming out in order! Was Lizzie on the 'Disney Pixar Cars' error card?

I see Tescos have brought down the price of singles to 5 from 6, I would like to think my e mail to them was the reason, but probably not......but then again!
Your e-mail may well have been influenced their action?

Found a No Stall today in a different Asda, no sign of Emmanuel anywhere even at £12. Although not paying that for it.
The Lizzie if I recall correctly was in the incorrect style package
I have been tracking what has been in each case (and the missing cases too). Strange though it may appear, but there is some logic in Mattel's case assortments. Mattel usually import two cases together. The 998P case actually hit the shops about nine days earlier that I had been told.
Generally, Mattel work from lowest to highest in series (unless a case is cancelled).
Those likely to be in the next case or two are:
Repeats:
Marlon 'Clutches' McKay
Hydraulic Ramone
Luigi & Guido
Wingo (with Flames)
Timothy Twostroke
First on 2014 card:
David Hobbscap
Sidewall Shine
Spare O Mint
Boost (with Flames)
Nigel Gearsley (with Flames)
Doc Hudson
Sally
Usual suspects:
McQueen (of some sort or another)
NEW cars:
There should be a couple of new cars per case, categories Lemons, Race Fans, Allinol Blowout, 95 Pit Crew, Mel Dorado Show, Paris Tour and RSN. Plenty!!
