Amazing finds! Pinch me Guido, pinch me! So current Deluxe cars are being found in the U.K. Didn't Mattel state that demand was not strong enough to import these? I am sure not complaining, not at all. Lets just hope supply will continue and it's not another series we have no hope of completing in the U.K. I am up for the challenge if Mattel can deliver! Great to see these available in more than one chain of stores and gives us hope for this year.

I spoke to Mattel on Monday explaining that Deluxe had been found in Sainsbury and I could vouch for that as I had a set. The response was that was news to them as it wasn't planned although nothing should be ruled out!
Make of that, what you will!
I can't believe that wasn't planned. If they'd said that they were importing a few to test the market and demand, I would think that would've been a sensible policy with some reasoning and thought behind it.
I hope they release all the planned Deluxe and Double packs in the UK.
Without getting ahead of oneself, it would be great if they could import some 2013 Deluxe into TK Maxx, TRU etc, at bargain prices for the benefit of those who didn't want to personally import them from abroad.

I wonder how popular the Deluxe will actually be tho, at a tenner a time I think it will be more collector's buying them. Be nice if it's a sign of things to come for 2014 as the UK have been long over due the stock that the US has seen.
