Stoped by Pineville, NC TRU but nothing too exciting but the same singles/deluxe/2-packs. Had a couple Take Flight mater/lightning and one lonely Ramone from the Classic line.

I did my duty of trying to free up shelf space by buying a Francesco/lightning party wheel 2-pack with the $5 off coupon that's out now.

How did you get that coupon? I showed them the email I've got, but they couldn't take it…

Yeah, what Mike said….reminder that the coupon expires today.

Nooo  it just took me to the 'weekly add'

I hit a toysrus is Frederick,MD and one in Gaithersburg, MD today.  Frederick had a king and a chick RS classic.  I left them both.  Gaithersburg had a full set plus an extra Ramone.  I grabbed them and stashed them at my parent's house so my son won't see them before the holidays.  Both stores also had 2 each of the new 10-pack.

Wblaze, I sent you a PM…

Sorry to hear more bad news to add to my own.  After visiting the closest 6 TRU multiple times, some even visited strategically on stock-days, I've now seen all of the RS Classic releases; except the singles pegs are always empty already.  I'm done searching, as the gas money and effort isn't worth it just for an extra Fabulous Hudson Hornet and yellow flag accessory for Dexter.  Happy hunting all!

That's interesting news about your area, BMW.  Around here, they are either coming and going lightning fast, or not here at all, I'm not sure which.  It's hard to trust the word of stockroom employees, and the Chicago club doesn't talk with each other as much as the good ol' Final Lap struggle.  That's very interesting about Dexter's expression.  So it's not just the same yellow flag Dexter casting re-released, but rather the GReen flag dexter with yellow flag in hand?  Ironic for me, is that the Manifold boys actually have that multipack green flag Dexter and none of the others.  Our checkered flag is actually a green flag with a sticker over it.  TRU saved me $ again this evening with lack of RS Classic singles.  Wallet still half full.  Happy hunting!

Mike,

Here in Houston some TRU's have not gotten any RS Classics at all, they have the green dots on the pegs, no shipments.

I had to go to a TRU in Baytown Texas which was the only one that had them.

I never could find the Hornet, even after cleaning up and arranging the Cars section since it was in disarray.  These were strewn all over the shelves and cubes. That store did not have any pegs for them but the classics were there.

I did get all of them minus the FHH.  The Dexter is worth hunting though since he is the classic Green flag Dexter expression – the one that was in the Piston cup race day 5 pack. (Why didn't Mattel release him with the green flag??)

Funny stuff right there.  Is the NASCA truck actually bigger than Dustin Mellows and Miles?  He looks pretty hefty.

Oh, thanks for clarifying it.  It's hard to tell from the checklist magazine pictures for this particular character.  Good luck with your flag swap. 

Columbia MD TRU had the Radiator Springs Classics 3-packs out today.
