Zellers Canada And Batch D; It's certainly about time.

Here in Calgary, AB, Canada, I find that my stores often get Matchbox batches about one to two months after the Western US States, and Hotwheel batches one month after.

Zellers, a K-Mart or half Wal-Mart equivalent here often gets new products first (such as RWR) then never stocks for another month or two. This particular Zellers hadn't stocked their Matchbox pegs for almost two months, letting the mainline dwindle to a handful of pegwarmers from batch A.

Then I decided to drop by today, just to kill time.

MB19 - Metallic Blue Jaguar XK
MB54 - Silver/Green DAF XF 95 Space Cab
MB4 - Sky Blue Enamel Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible
MB46 - Red (BEDOLLA) Trash King (I don't know why it didn't get in the picture.)
MB16 - Dark Glossy Blue Lotus Evora
MB3 - Metallic Green/Blue Lotus Europa Special
MB31 - Dark Metallic Red Volvo C30
MB12 - Metallic Orange Dodge Challenger SRT8
MB52 - Grey Enamel Austin FX4 Taxi
MB75 - Neon Yellow Enamel (DFW) Pierce Fire Engine
MB93 - Sky Blue Enamel Volkswagen Type 181 Thing

...Great to finally have, but no sign of the Dodge Monaco yet.

P.S. I wish there was a way for me to track everyone's US State, just to see when they actually do get their new batch.

P.S.2. What a rubbish bin should always look like.

Support your local demo derby.

Nice finds Noir. We just got the same shipment in at my two local WMs within the last couple of weeks after not having anything new stocked for a couple of months.
