Beats my Luck.

found 2 w/Charlie Checker, 1 w/Mater and HTB pitties, and one Chick/Mia/Tia 3 pack (I got that one). And those were at TRU.

The two Targets I went to had zilch. I swear, i’ve developed this nervous ‘grabbing’ tic…anytime I see a Cars product that I have yet to see…I snatch it from the shelf (this tic first showed itself in 2007 when I saw Dinoco Mia/Tia for the first time. Recently, it manifested itself when I first saw Sven).

The ONLY red-tail-lighted Pace Cars(Charlie Checker) that I have ever seen and owned were the WM version where he was labeled as the Pace Car.

Anything since then has had yellow tail lights, and I don’t that will change.

I have seen what John in Missouri has seen on my local Texas walmart shelves over the last 10 days.

No, I just like to riff on Mattel’s typical assortment blandness as
well as their typical corporate missteps.
all I can say is that when these go 75% off at target or where ever,
Mattel still must make a tidy profit.
I mean look at the gauging collectors took when Movie Moments were well priced over $6.99. It cost way more money to by two than to buy each one, if available, singly.
IN the past I have bought Movie Moments after Xmas for a buck.
Recently I have seen items like the old vertical 3 pack of Gold Tia and Mia at Marshalls related stores cheaper than they were at WM or Targay. Obviously overstock. Nobody wanted them.
Not many collectors will buy Case F, IMO.

What about Coke with cane sugar, is that worth stopping in for?

That photo of the WM in Maine…so clean and uncluttered..quick, buy something. Oh wait, nothing to buy unless you need paper towels or detergent. Nevermind!
