My Targets have restocked on the Final Lap a couple times: the same exact assortment each time, with nothing but re-releases. I've found some of the new general releases, but this line is starting to look like, well, basically other line Mattel occassionally releases actual product for.

And it makes no sense to let it die off; it's been one of Mattel's very few bona fide hits over the past few years, and there's a new Cars movie out next year. Be nice to actually hold on to the shelf space and then expand it when the movie hits rather than having to take it back from competing lines.

I think there may be more cars dealers at my walmarts than hotwheels dealers.
They do run a little slower now though.

Just found the newest Final Laps (LM with Shovel, Flo with Tray, Artie, and Bert) here in South Carolina last week. It was the first time Target's around here had stocked Final Lap Cars since January.

Found Bessie here in South Carolina at Kohl's...

At last a ray of hope and something to look for! Newest items we've seen here in Chicagoland area is Jamie and Johnny but mostly tons of color changers and those annoying moving eyes cars.
Bessie will go great with Lightning McQueen w/shovel!
