Is anyone else haveing a hard time finding new cars/castings?
Back around Christmas time the cases with the 55th Aniv. Bronco were hitting everywhere.Now this same assortment is clogging the pegs everywhere. Shoot, I could have 100 of those 55th Bronco's by now with all I've seen and left on the pegs.
The newest I've found were bad carded scraps left by others like the wrecker,VW Thing,Cougar repaint and Caddi.I did find the Chevelle the other day but have no idea where it came from. It was the newest car I've seen for some time and the rest hanging with it have been there for months.:rolleyes:

Not really just found the new scraper, and a few new colors of the chevy p/u, 2 benz', and a few others escaping me right now. Found @ target btw, wait they will show up they always do.

Other than the Dollar Stores, Target is the only place I've found anything remotely new.

You know it's bad when Dollar Stores get in new stuff before Wal*mart.

Havent seen anything past batch B in this area.

That is right, Bill, give 'em air...I openly solicit bad card backs to get the one that I need - DLM them I say!...I am currently up to date with 2008 1-100 Series. I am finding a lot of re-colors as well...So chin up and rip them "bad carded scraps left by others..." and forge ahead...Go luck finding the ones you desire, olesarge90/Gill

Ive noticed a drought as well. I agree with the Dollar store delivering well too.

I've only found the last pictured in Gill's reply. Other than those that I found in the first two months of the year, it's been a drought ever since. Kind of a shame when I was so looking forward to this years MB lineup. Guess I'll just have to wait for toy shows later this summer.

Sir Crafty

i think its just what is popular in the area, meaning ppl are buying what you are looking for before you get there maybe. i havent seen any 55th Ann. cars around western NC, but i also havent seen ANY VW things. I would like to see that chevelle. and it seems like the pegwarmer at my local stores is the volvo c30 ?and the audi a6?i think my local target must have 10 each of those two :(

I see the same thing here in Jacksonville, Florida. I did find at the time new ones at the local Kmarts here. I don't know if you guys all have Kmarts in your area but you may want to check there.

I saw a couple of the VW Things @ a Giant grocery store in Arlington,Va. More than I have seen @ home here in So Cal.

Drought finally ended. Wal-marts around here STILL have the SOS but got to open 2 cases today at the Doller Store and scored the Cougar repaint, a couple older Caddie's,1 Tow Truck and a couple of the stepside Chevys.
Now to just find a fresh assortment with the Chevelle.

Anybody know what all castings are in the assortment with the Chevelle?

I just passed up a repaint on the Citroen (green), and a lime green TVR Tuscan that I haven't seen before... so some new items must be showing up.

Here you go...hope your luck improves, olesarge90/Gill
