Our Walmart got in 5 fresh Mel Dorado Cases and there was a 6th in the back. There wasn't even any room to put that one on the shelves they were so full. 

BUT there were 3 Leland Turbo 2 Packs there! No Mama Topolino's though… but I'm glad I found a Leland! And there are more Take Flights coming in soon, at least that's what the employee that helped get that 6th Mel Dorado Case told me.

Same thing in my part of FL. No GGG, no Kabuto, no Bindo, no Prince 

I finally bought a GGG on ebay. I just couldn't stand it any more

Mel case …. boy do I know THAT feeling …. same thing down here in North Central Fla … I know we are not getting cases from the same warehouse, but gosh it feels like it!  How is is some places are getting Prince … some GGG … some Kabuto …. and we are getting MEL?!?!  CRAZINESS!!! LOLOL

Ever since the Don Crumlin/Becky case was released in March(I think), it has been this way for me.  Only saw those cars once and bought them.  I only saw Prince and Bindo once and bought them.  It used to be once I found a car, I would start seeing it everywhere.  Not so with those two cases.  I had a bit more luck finding Gear Grinder.  He was 2 to a case and pretty easy to find for about a week.  But because of how hard it was to find the two previous cases, I bought him everytime I saw him.  Made some great trades for stuff I didn't have.  I think all the new single cases have been hard to find for the last six months because stores aren't ordering as many.  Hopefully with putting old characters from Cars 1 in with the new cases coming up will increase sales and stores will start ordering more.

I've driven a total of more than 200 miles in the last month to strategically find a fresh case at Walmart, Target, TRU, Carson Pirie Scott, and Sears, and have JUST missed the Prince and 2 Bindos twice, and the GGG's twice, and have still not seen one RS Classic Fab hudson Hornet.  I think I'm pretty much done looking.  This is the most difficult time ever for hunting new characters in my opinion – much harder than the Target exclusive Final Lap days. I know there's trouble in my area when I can find a Hot Wheels Mystery Machine but not any new cars (I've never ever found a HTF Hot Wheels car before).  Since the main cars fan in the house doesn't play with them any more, I've resolved to wait for Mama Bernoulli, Otis and Rip and that's it.  Sorry to be a bummer, but does anybody else feel this way? 

 

We have a full Case V if anyone wants to buy it. I opened it only to check the contents. (has one Price Wheeliam and two Bindos)

Went to my local Walmart just to check it out. They haven't had any new Cars in weeks. The last new case was the one with Becky Wheelin. I saw the pegs were filled and started frantically looking for GGG or Bindo or the Prince but nothing. Then in the very back I saw Cartney Brakin, then another. I couldn't believe my eyes. This Walmart skipped the case with GGG and the case with Bindo and went straight to the Cartney case. I'm not complaining, just thought it was curious 

I had to laugh when I read this. We haven't seen anything new in months. I've been reading on both sites how every one is finding all the new Cars and here in FL nothing  I got lucky today but I'm not expecting a windfall coming any time soon.

It seems like Florida gets the newest Cars first.

That's an awesome find Micky!
I saw the toy department manager at my WM today and asked about new Cars as there selection is really bad. She told me they had plenty and walked over to the Cars section to point out all the LMQs and Sub Finns. I asked if they would be getting anything new pointing at the singles. She said those had been recalled due to a packaging problem or them being a danger to children. Either she was completely ignorant or just really didn't want to be bothered. Either way I was quite disappointed.
