Wow! What a fabulous find. Hopefully, this'll be the start of a run finding new stuff after the line killing four months in the UK!?

A few weeks ago my local Toymaster group received ten cases of singles, their first delivery containing 2016 cars. Unsurprisingly it was the ubiquitous 959L case they got. I popped in there last week and they said most of the cars had gone and they had enquired about getting some more cases, maybe half a dozen to tide them over for the school holidays. They told me that Mattel have said that there won't be anything new for a few weeks, probably September!
Apart from a handful of the 959Q cases that were found at Morrisons at the beginning of May, there hasn't been a new general release case since 959L first appeared at the beginning of April. That could turn out to be FIVE months with no new cars! That's even worse than the Cars 2 era of 2012.
Unless Mattel either cut production of the remaining eight cases or have special assortments for the UK, it looks highly unlikely that we will see all the 2016 singles over here!
Some double packs appeared at Hamleys but as yet, there have been no reported sightings of any international deluxe.
From my recent travels, I have seen blank shelves and pegs at ASDA, Morrisons and Tesco. Sainsburys and Smyths have a few singles, whilst TRU still have loads of 2015 singles, deluxe, Silver racers and Carnival Cup racers.
My last purchase was the two RS Classic 3-Car packs at TRU on 11.05.2016. Singles was early April.

I never thought i would see the day that i would be completely fed up of finding the Autobahn society car.
I did find the Mater the Greater 3-pack at ASDA and the RS Classic 3-pack with Derek "Decals" Dobbs at Toys R Us.
Toys R Us and The Entertainer had the new Wheel Action Drivers assortment.

Like everyone else, nothing new for ages. None of my 3 local Asdas have the rescue squad mater 3 packs which is a shame as my son would love that mater! I did however find the carbons down to £4 in sainsburys and the silvers for £3.50. I had all the carbons but picked up most of the silvers as we only had two in the collection from the first run and I wasn't going to pay £7 each when they went down to clearance prices the first time around.

interesting fact that I did not know, or ru5ty either
was watching a stupid game show called the chase, its on in the uk, the chaser was that big fat bloke, anyway the question was what dog is associated with fire engines, naturally smarty pants knew the answer and then elaborated, the answer was a dalmation, so .......thats why mia and tia in fire and rescue are white with black spots, clearly disney aint that dumb, ru5ty then said there was some other cartoon with a fire dog in it and it was a dalmation too, cant rem what he said it was
so there ye go!
