Is there somewhere that lists Hot Wheels case contents?
Are they US cases (long cards) or do the international (short cards) have the same contents?
Thanks,

I know that the cases have 3 letters at the end of the code, the 1st of the 3 is the case.
The cars that Poundland and B&M have been getting is the long US Cards
Thanks,

Thanks Rossibutton, I now know how the Hot Wheels cases are sequenced. I didn't pay much attention before. Morrisons had 937J (NP) (0555N2) and 937L (PK) (1026N).
From those two cases I picked up:
2005 Ford Mustang (Grey); 2010 Ford Mustang GT (Yellow), 70 Ford Escort RS1600 (White) (to go with the Red one I already had), 07 Ford Mustang (Red) and another Beatles Yellow Submarine (on a good card this time).
I popped down to the nearby ASDA and Wilko and got:
2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R (Blue), 2015 Ford Mustang GT and Aston Martin DB10 (Silver) (HURRAY).
Now I know the case contents from hwcollectorsnews.com (may not work with IE11) it makes HW collecting that much easier.
I also had time to work out a pattern of Cars singles releases across the world. My guess is that we might start to see new singles in the UK in early July, possibly cases 959Q and 959R? Let's hope so!

It has been a week since my local Tesco stocked up and they had not sold a single car, which got me wondering
I then spotted the reason why...

£15 for single cars (just over $20)
At first i thought the store had made a mistake so i checked a different Tesco store and they also were marked at £15.

Sainsbury's had the new case of colour changers

I think that all of them are re-releases

Surely £15 for a single car is a mistake on the inventory somewhere, like to think they would price match if there was a car you wanted to buy. So, slow moving stock due to multiples of the same case further compounded by a 200% price hike, could it be the down to the euro vote?!! lol!

...gutted! We seem to have hit a cars brick wall right now with new releases. I was very lucky about 6 weeks back when I managed to find Mater with Balloon and Holley with electro shock but apart from them, I have not seen anything worth collecting since in stores.
I had been expecting to see new RSC at TRU or Smyths (and I am not fussy who gets them first!) new Cars toons singles and box sets at Asda, the rest of the Carnival cup cars at TRU and Asda. New waves of Deluxe at Sainsbury's and /or TRU. And on top of that little lot, more mainline singles. I suppose we collectors can use this break to save up for when new stuff does hit the shelves, especially if singles are priced at £15 each from here on in...eek! Might just have a gander on e-bay to get my fix!

I was out on the road again today.
Both Morrisons and Tesco had recent deliveries, Morrisons after saying they may not get any more Cars until September as they are seasonal!
Both stores had the ubiquitous 959L case! They were the second batch (0186EAA) with the sellotape unfortunately! Morrisons actually had three cases of Cars!
Mattel Europe must've over-ordered the 959L case?
