Does anyone know if the mama topolino 2pack was a certain store exclusive (like Walmart, target, Kmart, etc.) or if there were only a small amount made? I have been looking since November everywhere and have yet to see one. 🙁

Don't waste your gas  There have been no reports of finding one on store shelves anywhere even though it was first released online in November. Same with Leland Turbo. It's a normal 2 Pack like Finn and Tomber (well, besides the Pegwarmer part) and not an exclusive like Jeff Gorvette and John Lassetire.

I wonder where they are all at and why they never made it to stores. 🙁

Stores never ordered the new 2 packs because so many were left from May of last year. The Security Finn and Sal 2 packs have just now started showing up in most places and I'm sure the Mama Topolino and Leland Turbo 2 packs will show up in the next wave of 2 packs or they will put those 2 in a box set or something. Mattel will not waste those molds.

If you really want them now instead of waiting to see if and when they appear at retail you have to buy a case from an online reseller store like Children's Toy Closet or Rob's Palace of Cars, among others. I have no idea if the resellers are currently stocking the case or not. Per BMW's thread on the CTT site, here are the case contents for 2-pack cases E and H:
Case E 2 Pack
[1] Darrel Cartrip and Brent Mustangberger
[3] Francesco/Mcqueen Party Wheels
[1] Finn/Tomber
[3] Acer and Security Guard Finn McMissile (NEW)
[4] Race Team Mater and Sal Machiani (New)
Case H 2 Packs
1 x Fillmore/McQueen Travel Wheels
3 x Leland Turbo/ Finn
3 x McQueen/Francesco
2 Mama Topolino/Uncle Topolino
2 x Mater/ Zen Master Pitty
1 x Mater/Sal Machiani

I don't order cases because I have no idea what I would do with all the other cars lol but thank you for the idea. I'll just wait it out and hope I will see them at our stores soon. I have only seen the security Finn 2 pack in the wild once, it was at a belks and they had so many car singles we didn't have (no queens or maters, it was amazing) so I bought all the singles and left the 2 pack there and I have been kicking myself in the butt for it ever since then. But in my defense all the cars were over priced (almost $6 for a single) so that's why I left him there.

It's not ethical, but you could return the extras to a box store. Nice story about the Belks finds and sorry about the Security Finn. I left Storytellers on the pegs at Target when I first started finding Cars for my son a few years ago. I imagine I left Bubba and the Showstoppers without a second glance.

They'll be coming around the mountain when they come. LOL. Seriously with the Security Guard Finn 2 pack out there at retail now I don't think it will be long before we see the Mama Topolino/ Leland case. Could be any day now.
Just keep reading the forums and someone will post they finally found it. You could probably make a fair trade for the new 2 packs as well pretty soon, with a collector here who will grab extras.
Mama, she should be a comin as Francesco might say.
