Well, there are obvious clues and not so obvious clues …

Uh, not reset … or SlicePie was just here …

Not reset … or the Target is all tilty and everything is all askew …

Yep, the reset has begun.
As Target prefers to keep their employees busy and have the shelves look full but not crazy full [...]

The Gift Packs (aka: 3-packs) did not get off to the best of starts. The first batch featured CARS packs that were not just terribly un-exciting but frankly, the card design was dull, dull, dull, dull …

The nice new look of Race O [...]

The blow by blow of the Haulers distribution situation is just another bizarre happening when it comes to CARS. The easy is never easy.
When Haulers were announced, there was much rejoicing.
CASE A was announced - 2 Mack’s, 2 Chick Hicks Hauler & 2 Gray, the Dinoco Hauler.
