I am sure Nigel will give us the benifit of what he knows and hopefully give us a insight to what is going on behind the scenes...

Does anyone know if the U.K / Europe stand a chance of finding the first Super Chase for 2014? Trike Feldman was supposed to be in selected V cases (Magen Carrar and Carla with flames) which hit stores in Jan /Feb this year. Have we missed the opportunity or are Super Chases going to be exclusive to the American market? Any info is appreciated! Thanks

Surprising though it may appear, the UK is ahead of schedule with 2014 cases. We've seen three of the first four cases, missing the first one (as all the cars were going to be repeated in later cases).
We've had W1938-998L, 998N and 998P. We missed 998K. Europe got 998M (which was essentially the same as 998P with Kabuto instead of Boost/Flames).
Both cases 998Q and 998R are listed so one presumes they are the equivalents of the US 998A and 998B?
The third UK case (which turned out to be 998P) wasn't due to be in shops until W/B 17 March, but came in about two weeks early!
The fourth case isn't due until W/B 14 April. Usually Mattel sell cases at around 500 / week, hence the four week intervals between cases. Unless they ramp up production, the current 998P case will sell out, leaving a gap!
Tesco have reported that they made large order of Cars products including new products for their Spring resets. I've speculated that they are Double Packs, but may just be new products for Tesco's, maybe launchers?
At least four local Tesco stores said that they were due new singles cases by now, but I haven't had a chance to go out and see what's arrived (or not).
It would be great if we got Super Chases in the UK, but so far they've only been found in the US (and Australia). It's not impossible, but Mattel don't usually mix US and International cards in the same cases!
Toys R Us told me that their RS Classics have been allocated new SKU numbers, presumably in advance of new deliveries. Again, I haven't had the chance to check!
