Look right, reach left. A quick way to look for the new stuff on crowded pegs is to sight down the top right hand corner. Each series has a different corner. Final Laps say “Final Lap Collection” in a black circle with Dexter Hoover in the middle. The new chase vehicles have a light blue square; lenticulars say “Look! My eyes change!” and so on.

You still have to check out which character is which and to do this the right way, reach in from the left of the peg. You will have less chance of causing a card avalanche since the “J hook” opens to the right. You can also read the character names of the new releases because they are on the left. With the ‘Toons (which have better hooks and are less likely to fall off the pegs) you can tilt them slightly on the lower right hand corner to read the character number (Burnt LMQ is 1 and the similar Soaked LMQ is 10). Also, the color of Mater’s fender is different dependent on the story (red if he is in fire truck mode, blue in Tokyo Drift guise).

i know this is the wrong place but i dont know where to put this

I have just picked up VERN,JAY LIMO AND ANTONIO UP IN ASDA UK.
i have noticed they card has changed!!there is a picture of eys in the corner, where the target logo would be!
this could be old news, if so sorry

i can send photos

(MET: Someone sent photos – might post in a day or so – thanks!)

Did you ever post that the Mega Size is now refered to as “Deluxe”? Maybe I missed that post. This is a more realistic term seeing that only a few were actually larger in size.

(MET: Megasize is the name Mattel has labeled them (and still does) see Night Skyline latest case – MEGASIZE is front label as they are also listed in the Collector’s Guide 2010. Originally called “Oversized” but that’s actually more confusing because it could be interpreted that it was a larger than 1:55 scale when they are not necessarily larger than the average CARS but larger scale-wise … or just read this post).

Actually, Wal-Mart sells them for $3.50 and I think Target is at $3.54 now. The only cars that are $4.99 are the Final Laps at Target. If you buy a case you are stuck with a lot of duplicates.

I collect them all even the lenticulars but I don’t like the lenticular 2.0 as well.
