Oye Target makes me want to hit my head against a wall. Went in tonight and talked with two associates apparently they have the 2012 and the 2013 as the same. We did the UPC's for both and the count and location was the same for both. I just need three Cars.

For the second night in a row I checked a random Target and missed finding Rip and the remains of Case B taunted me from the pegs.

Went to Target last night to return the 4 pack with Bruno Motoreau (which I found as a 2 pack in Walmart!). Got $20.00 and change for the return then went to take a peak at the Cars section like I always do "just in case".
Lo and behold I find Holly with Screen… and the gorgeous Lightning Ramone mixed in with old 2011 LMQ's. Upon further searching I then find Petey Pacer and Grem with Weapon and Rusty!!!. Then behind some Miguel's as my heart starts racing and my arms get fuller with new finds, I find Cactus McQ and Kabuto and then behind a Sarge I find………..gulp………RIP!!!!!!!. Shocked I look around for would be swipers and take them to the end cap to organize and evaluate my incredible find. My biggest catch for a relatively new collector. I remember my youngest wanting RIP last year. He's going to be ecstatic. I left other Kabutos and Peteys and Grems for others to enjoy. So I got these 8 cars in exchange and they were 1.99 each to boot and $17 and change total. Awesome.

All 3 Targets by me were a bust for me as only remnant Francesco's and a cactus LMQ were left. Leaves me optimistic of new cases coming.

I am happy for you… but so FRUSTRATED! LOL
I went to a few targets (also sears and Kohls) today and they had NOTHING! One of them had ONE SINGLE. I asked if they had more in the back and she laughed at me! She checked ant they had none…
Uhg… END RANT lol
But seriously, glad to hear that they are out there and that they are being found!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Yeah… I've been on quite a good streak, although it felt like it took me forever to find Rip, now I am beginning to see him more often but Case N I have only seen once and it was at a Walmart months ago, with Fabrizio and Sir Harley missing.
You know somtimes I don't want to post my finds because it might come off the wrong way, I really just want people to know that these things are actually out there and to not give up.
I mean there are a few stores that I visit everyday, you just never know what you're going to find.

Happy for everyone and all their finds.
I feel like it gives me hope.
I just am growing tired of the daily hunt with no success.
Keep posting. Gives me hope!

Oh no Lane Change! I never feel that way! I am so glad that you find great stuff and I am always filled with hope when I read that they are out there 🙂 Plus it is always fun to share cool finds 🙂
Keep up the good work, and keep on posting

As much as I get frustrated not finding stuff on the shelves, (Cartney, Case N, Prince *Thanks*) if it weren't for other people saying they found stuff I would have never checked all my stores and found the latest stuff. So keep posting your reports!
I would love to find Case N. I'll be checking my Targets for sure!

You know what? I say, you go lane change! Don't feel bad about finding new stuff. You give us hope and direct our searches if nothing else. Just don't let me catch you posting that crap about not finding anything in ages again. You are virtually a mattel reseller without having to deal with all of the crap that comes in some of those cases… 🙂 I'm sure you are sharing the wealth with folks less fortunate in their finds, so keep up the great scores … And please keep posting when you find new stuff. Makes me want to go to Target tomorrow. Will I find anything? Nah. But it gives me that initial 2 minutes of hope when I walk in the door, and we live for that kind of stuff.

Lane change nice score.
Just to share a bit more… Case N was found today also in San Marcos Texas.
My son called to let me know. Will be checking my Targets tomorrow.

Looks like Target is the only one who has been resupplying! Ever since my walmarts got the dump bin and a couple b cases there has been nothing! Kmart nothing! And TRU absolutely nothing! So yeah keep those finds coming, only way to get a grip on whats going on!
Lane Change dont feel bad, thats what these pages are for!! Like bubba said it gives hope that there is more than LMQ and Finn on the pegs somewhere!!

So I forgot to mention that I actually brought the Case N box home with me to pack away some extras. While I was looking at the box I noticed a label on it that I found interesting. Notice that it says "purge 12/15/12", not sure if that means anything but thought someone here might know.

I'm just guessing but after 12/15, they might be sending unopened cases to discount store like TJ Maxx or Marshall's. We might start seeing Case N at those type stores!

If the Target Cars singles section is completely cleared out, is that a sign of a restock coming? Has anyone noticed if there are "liklier" day of the week for Target to do a restock?
