KA, do you actually have that ferrari guido? I was wondering if that set came with a third figure, or if it was just luigi and guido.
Well, after buying a load of characters that I didn't have yesterday following a stock refresh at my local Woolworths, I went back today and the whole lot was gone. Just a heap of Maters left. Either these are really popular with the kids, or scalping is happening here too. The same thing happened in Tesco last week. The only ones I have to get now out of the waves that have been released here are Dinoco McQueen and the green version of Ramone.
Dude. There's a Mattel store in Fort Worth. When I decided I wanted to start getting these, I was like, "Ooh..I'll go there..they'll have more than just McQueen and Mater!" which were always the only ones left behind at regular stores. My God. There must have been like, 200 of EACH. They had this huuuge chunk of wall dedicated to Cars cars...and that was IT, save for one measly Wingo that I spotted only because I was "OMG..green!" Needless to say, I didn't go back there. Got everything from trips to WM and random finds on other trips. Found 2 Kings at KB one day after not seeing him in the assts turning up at WM. Gold Ramone at Target. I found a lone Mack sitting in the wrong section at another Target and was all "Scoooore!"...and then they started showing up in droves in the new packaging.
I only got the race cars. Got McQueen, King, Nitroade, Leak Less, and Dunaco McQueen. I am missing Hicks. That's the only one. I saw Hamm, the metallic red McQueen, and Hudson Hornet but passed. Also saw Lizzie and Sarge a lot a few weeks ago.
I want Hicks, too. I have only seen McQueen, Doc, King, Sally and Luigi etc 3pack here. We must be so behind
