In New Zealand (or at least, my city), there had been a 1-125 drought for 2-3 months. We got the first three cases fairly quickly, and then nothing (although some new Sky Busters and Moving Parts did start to trickle in). However, about a week ago, the drought broke rather spectacularly, as I found a bunch of Case D and E vehicles! Lots of new castings too! Got 19 in one haul, then went back a few days later and picked up the Skidster (which I think I overlooked previously, because there are several of last year's ones still warming the pegs).

The McLaren is a particular highlight, especially with the New Zealand connection (look up Bruce McLaren if you don't know what I'm talking about). Love that new ambulance too. I think the Pierce Volterra might be my first electric fire engine (or fire truck, as they're called in the US). Other highlights include the new Mazda RX-7, the Porsche Targa, the dark blue Mercedes (great colour they chose for that this year), the 1969 Camaro and the new Chevrolet convertible castings.

I think the Honda Ridgeline (another new casting) was supposed to be in these cases, but I never saw that. Still, it's fair to say that I'm very happy with this haul after such a long dry spell.
