TRU(ly) great find! First UK 'Classic' with the Disney World of Cars logo on it.

Did TRU have any other 3-Car Gift Packs or have the UK missed the last two?

TRU told me quite categorically, that the 3-Car Gift Packs had been discontinued.

Sometimes (?) TRU don't appear to know their @rses from their elbows!

Were there any new Classic singles?

Great 3 pack! Would love to find that one instore

Shouldn't there be the 3 pack with yellow pick up (can't remember it's name off hand) in the same case?

It was the TRU at Cribbs in Bristol
There was another 3 pack there but it was an old one that's been around for a while. Can't remember exact contents other than Green Ramone.
They had no other singles apart from LMQ and Francesco and some silver cars.
Also had Neons and almost forgot the Xmas singles at 8.99

[StuartW]

While out at Cribbs I checked Smyths which had usual peg warmers.
All old stock

Argos had 40 cars which included a cola, Fiber fuel and Matthew True Blue Mccrew
Left them if anyone needs them at 5.49

The TRU Radiator Springs (Classic) singles aren't in regular case number / letter assortments like the standard singles as they are imported by TRU directly from Mattel Asia.

Marilyn was in this assortment in the UK:

Released in the UK - 28.11.2013 (2183EAA) - This was the seventh known case assortment, although not every one was released in all countries!

RADIATOR SPRINGS LIGHTNING McQUEEN - 4
RAMONE (Purple) - 2
MATER - 2
CHICK HICKS - 1
THE KING - 1
LIL' TORQUEY PISTONS - 1
MARILYN - 1

She had previosuly been released in Europe and the US in the fifth known case assortment:

Not released in the UK (Europe - 30.04.2013)

BUG MOUTH LIGHTNING McQUEEN - 5
RAMONE (Gold) - 3
MARIO ANDRETTI - 2
MARILYN - 2

The case the UK got, was the fourth known case assortment:

Released in the UK - 29.03.2013 (3562EAA)

BUG MOUTH LIGHTNING McQUEEN - 5
RAMONE (Gold) - 3
DINOCO HICK HICKS - 2
MARIO ANDRETTI - 2

The latest case in the US, the eight case assortment:

Released in the US - 08.12.2013 ~ Is this coming to the UK soon?

LEROY TRAFFIK - 2
FABULOUS HUDSON HORNET - 2
BRAND NEW MATER - 2
SHERIFF - 2
BUG MOUTH LIGHTNING McQUEEN - 4


TRU have allocated new SKN numbers:

Singles: 903000

3-Packs: 903019

Presumably this now means there are plans for further new cars?

[BirchTiger]

Thanks Nigel, I'll keep an eye out for Marilyn/RSLMQ and hopefully that next case with Leroy and FHH! I've only ever seen the bug mouth LMQ cases which do nothing but add to the existing row upon row of LMQ's and Dusty's that TRU are famous for!

[BirchTiger]

Saw a disney plane (Bravo) in a TKMaxx today (in smashed up half opened packaging) for £7.99! "Always upto 60% less!" Lol

[millimoo]

I think they mean '60% less tidy & cared for than any other shop'
