ELvis, your next!
I received my Elvis case a week ago. I ordered it before Christmas. It looks like CTC shipped out their first shipment and is waiting on their next that says in transit on his site. Patience everyone. CTC has never let me down. I received my case F a long time ago too.
It has said “In Transit” for a couple of weeks now. I also ordered mine around Christmas and haven’t received it yet.
The transit date has changed. You can tell it is a different shipment. The first transit date was late February and now it is 3/4.
Here in Alabama we are hoping for them in late 2099!
ME NEED ELVIS!!
“LONG LIVE THE KING OF ROCK & ROLL” I’LL HAVE A BLU-UUU X-MAS WITH OUT YOU UUUU I’LL BE SO BLUU X-MAS WITH OUT YOUUU (TACH-O-MINT)
I tried that code, it doesn’t work.
Wish I had my Elvis. I pre-ordered the case and still not here. So sad, so very, very sad!
Join the “Waiting for Elvis Club”, we haven’t even received our SINGLE Elvis that we ordered, not to mention the case with 2 in it that we ordered as well.
Ill join. im waiting till easter for it!
Hey Elvis has been dead for a long time now . . . what’s a few more days . . . . he will RISE UP and sing to you soon!!
Elvis is dead??? What??? Are you in on the conspiracy too? Elvis will never be dead!
We are waiting, too 🙁
Has anyone that has been waiting received their Elvis yet? It showed the other day that the case was in stock and now it isn’t showing up at all.
Ladies and Gentlecars,
Yeah, Elvis is a big boy. Wait till you get a load of the big RV’s. Pun intended. As I said before I’m guessing they’ll be packed out like we did the Haulers.
Our plan could be to trick out Elvis for Matty with real rubber like tires, soft touch paint hair do, gold VUM shades and rims. Just a thought for now but he could look really bling’d Liberace’d out.
AWESOME!!! 8) I can’t wait to see pics of the Matty version!
That would be great!
Traver is apparently holding Elvis hostage in our case. My wife is a little ticked off, to say the least.
(MET: I forwarded the rest of the note to him – all customer service issues should be directed there).
Repeated emails failed to get a reply. I have heard multiple takefivers who have already received their Elvis RV, what’s the problem with answering an email when a question is asked?
Met, could you please dust Mr Mellows? He has lost his luster in your eyes, Mr Fickle man… always a new favorite then the others just turn into another cars toy?
Dustin is so retro, his simple lines, he is elegant.
This version is more canon, as he had to drive thru Radiator Springs, which is a little dusty itself.
Apparently the race codes are now unique to each individual piece… my Elvis code is different from the one above… only the first two characters are the same.
Is this the first of ths like this? I also noticd that I couln’t ntr the letters in the woc sit, only th numbers, so the code didn’t work. I hadn’t really usd the site before, but I was testing it out as I saw this was the first with letters.
RPM Semi is the same…
I will have to check this out when I find these guys. I have not seen the RPM or Elvis yet. Lots of Gray, Hicks and Mack
The only thing I would change is I wish the gold paint was “sparklier” more metallic or glittery. Just a little more Liberace-ish. He feels more like the later, fat elvis era so that would be more appropriate. Maybe its a production thang.
Other than that, he rocks!
You women are always trying to change us men…why can;t you just accept us for the fun loving fat Elvis’ we are?/?? 🙂
He definitely looks cool. I just hope the paint quality on him is better than some of the other releases lately.
I found one in Victoria, Australia! This was at a pretty small KMart compared to the others I usually check, so wasn’t hoping for much. Turned the corner, saw a lady pick up the one and only Elvis on the shelf. Held my breath, and after she put it down, I scampered over like a starving mouse to cheese. I’ve also being seeing a number of RPM semi’s so I’m guessing the KMarts have being opening the G-Cases for us.
Also saw two Octane Gain Haulers in Target, but that was all.
So all said and done, Australia just needs to start ordering some of the current main-line cases and we are on track with our Yank cousins. 🙂
(MET: 😆 ).
We need our stores to order the new cases too!
Lucky dawgs getting oversized Case G early!
For all the aussies, Elvis is also being sold at Big W for around $17.00. Toyworld also has the oversized vehicles for $6.99. But still no race o rama singles. Yep also saw RPM semi at Kmart in QLD.
very well done. I’m yet to actually see him in the stores, so maybe he is is selling out quickly like all the other cars. The Mega-sized and Haulers are trickling in though which is great news. I am just still counting my blessings that Jeaks was able to hold one in a case for me. Looking for another already!
I got him last week too. He is great!
Thanks Traver!!!!
No sightings at any store in WA. Only case A & B of the oversized…
is this Australia or Washington?
Washington. 🙁
Love him, got him last week!
Oooh so jealous! You’re in TX aren’t you? Friday is my hunting day so wish me luck!
Sending good Carsma your way!!
This one definitely has Carisma… 😉
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, in Houston. But I ordered the case F, as I did not want to chance finding him on the shelf.
Another day of bupkis darn it
Have there been any Elvis sightings on the West Coast? Anyone? Someone tell me that Elvis is alive and well in California?!? I’ll take the state of Washington just for some reassurance. Please!
