Matchbox Basic K and L Case

After what seems like an eternity, a large order of die cast arrived from the USA. The last two boxes were a sealed Matchbox K case and a L case from the 2016 basic assortment.

After purchasing a few Hot Wheels sealed cases in 2012, I vowed to never ever purchase any sealed cases of basic product ever again as the number of wanted cars was always significantly lower than the number of unwanted cars, and trying to sell the extra cars was normally a painful exercise.
On top of the rule of not getting cases, as an even bigger rule of not getting back to back cases due to the significant carry over between the cases which normally increased the number of unwanted items.

In this case I broke my rule about getting the Matchbox K case because of local stock in my area - after getting F and G cases back in May, the next restock contained C cases in large numbers. As a result I was not expecting to see anything new for a while.
The L case was purchased in order to get two cars, which were going for the around the cost of half a case on eBay, so I decided it was worth it to get a case for these two cars.

Hopefully I can find some of these cars locally as well in order to get some openers.
