Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Chase CARS Spotting (at Retail)
With remnants of CASE H, and a random mix of CASE N, M, R and possibly Q out there – how can you tell what’s on your store shelves, what you missed out on or what probably has NOT arrived at that store’s pegs …
Here’s a handy chart. Obviously if you spot Super Chases on the pegs, that answers the easiest question.
They along with a few others are unique to each case – M is the twin of CASE N so if you spot the Super Chases, your store got CASE N. If you do not, then of course, you have to go down the list as N & M are mirrors of each other than the SC’s so your task is much harder … but if spot a Rip Clutchgoneski and a Nature Drive LM, then you know it’s either N or M versus if you spot a Rip and Snot Rod with Flames.
Of course, if you arrive too late and you find “common” overlapping releases, it’s hard to tell but going down the list might help. Race Official Tom is probably not high on the list of fast sellers and as of right now, the Q case has not likely arrived anywhere so if you see Race official Tom, you have most likely spotted N or M. Seeing Vern will clinch it as N/M is the first release of Vern.
Good luck!
Remember, just keep shopping, just keep shopping (as Butter1 notes) …

Just went to my Target last night that has had bare empty pegs for a week – so I knew that more Cars were coming. Was very disappointed to see that it was full of 3 cases of G last night – ugh! The Miles Axelrod w/open hood was gone but all the other crap pegwarmers from that case were in plentiful supply.
So far I ‘ve only seen 1 Yukio on the pegs. No Takeshi or Hiroaki yet.
They could of made a Chase for case Q… 😕
Just found Victor, must’ve missed the Super Chase.
Victor comes with Chase Francesca as well…so maybe not!!
TEXAS HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN.
The only way the stores in my area (southern NJ) would look like this is if I’m asleep and dreaming or If I just payed 5 – 10 x the price on eBay. Our targets lag behind at least 3 to 4 months from release if they get them at all and just when you give up and buy the whole case to get them. They will magically appear once a year on the Target pegs. The Walmarts are pathetic some haven’t had a new car in at least 6 months, one didnt even have 1 diecast car at all. . I guess I should be thankful for our 2 K-Marts that haven’t closed or forgotten Cars ( tho the employees never know what I taking about on the K-Mart Cars Days). I’m often only one of 2 or 3 that are interested and ask them to open the cases that we will rummage through that are still in the back or under a display table used for something else. If this is your area count yourself lucky.
Would love to find in store
Better than what I’ve found. I hope the stores will have better pickings this week.
We got case m, but no chase car in the case I watched him open the case.
Missed them every time…
once I approached the pegs only to find the cards still swinging on the pegs, with Alex Carvills, Leaf Faced LM…all there…NO Super Chases…damn
Well J. you know who was in your area recently…
I’m frustrated too, Dunroamin. I’m in New Hampshire and I hit three Walmarts and two targets today and could clearly see case N with no super chases left at any of them. Somebody has wiped our area clean and left non for us. I just want 1 of each for my collection, sheesh!
It wasn’t me Dunroamin! Not until Wednesday!
