Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I'll have to check today for the Dinoco Chick... maybe I can find a Supercharged Chick so I can have three in their packages and one opened.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Well I tried Toys R Us, K-Mart and Target yesterday, and none of the new Supercharged Cars are in, although TRU seemed to have a fresh new stock of Supercharged 1.0 so I picked up another Chick Hicks. It's been taken out of its package and is situated next to Dr. Drakken and Syndrome on my bookshelf. I shall wait patiently for Dinoco Chick, which appears to already be on eBay.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss I just got back from a midnight run to WM, where N cases were on the pallet. These contain Tex, RPM #64, Bling Bling McQueen, and Ferrari F430. Cruisin' McQueen on a single card is also in the box. M cases have Ferrari F430, Dinaco Chick Hicks, Red Ramone, and for the completists, Snot Rod, Sarge, and Fillmore on single cards.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 well just got back - they had squat -- as did Target.... it is frustrating to see the cars idling outside these stores at 7 - 8 AM waiting for them to open, so the low lifes who buy all the new stock up to sell on ebay can rush the toy aisles.....
