Disney Pixar Cars - Oversized Seen In Small Quantities

I called a Wal-Mart yesterday that I suspected may have gotten in some Oversized Cars and talked to the Toy Department manager Linda. She told me that she got in a couple of cases a week or two ago, and that they sold out in a day. One of my Kmart Collectors Day reporters was in a Wal-Mart today. I asked her to check the toy department while I was on the phone and she came across the Oversized Dinoco Helicopter. So, I was lucky to get that because of her. Nothing else was in site. They are showing up, but being snatched up faster than Mater can whip his tow hook onto Lightning! Searching for these toys is a pain in the #$$! How have your searches gone of late?

I also came to understand that Wal-Mart orders high quantities of Cars from Mattel. They then warehouse their inventory in a big dark cave distributing it in slow drips to the stores. This is why they are so far behind the Newest releases. I'm still seeing cases from months ago showing up in the Orlando stores. Maybe this explains why I see so much Batman stuff in their stores. Ya know, bats like caves! ;-)
