Seeing a few XXRs and WNTs. As well as some M__ plates left. According to some insurance brokers I've talked to, the new format should be out within September
X and W series are older than the M series. M is the last batch before they move on to the new combination.
This is because they went into the M reserve that was set aside for the Olympic plates just to keep the run going for a bit longer.
Good info can be found here which was listed on this thread a while ago:
Anyone get new plates recently? Any estimates on how many places still have the old format?
I'm about to cancel and re-purchase my insurance for the last time (finally) sometime next week, and I was hoping to be able to pick up one in the old format..

This place most likely still have old format plates, they usually have a bunch of leftovers from earlier letter batches everytime I call.
If not, try going to further places like Chilliwack or Abbotsford. They go through plates alot more slower out there.
Meh. I should have never gotten rid of my 666 plates. Make sure you really like the vanity plate you get, cause I pretty much hated mine the day I picked it up. I've grown to not care anymore, but when I first got them the idea of people thinking it meant FiXED UP annoyed me. As the original intent was actually for the plate to be a twist on "F*CKED UP"
I'm still waiting for them to:
A. Move to 7 letter vanity plates (will probably never happen)
B. Eliminate front plates in BC.
If anyone comes across a Triple Number, or 335 xxx (I don't care about the letters), let me know. I'll buy you lunch

So the new format has been out for a month already and since there isn't much info atm on how these new plates are being released, I have come to the point that ICBC is now releasing plates by the whole letter group instead of the previous distribution method with the old formats, based on my observation with the new plates that I see on the road.
In the past two formats (AAA-000 and 000-AAA), the letter blocks were split into two groups (A-K and L-X) and serves as breakpoints. Therefore, we will see a letter reappear again in the 1st slot/4th slot as the series progress throughout the years.
Spoiler!
1st series (alpha-numeric): LAA - LKK, MAA - MKK, NAA - NKK, etc., through XAA - XKK.
2nd series: LLA - LXK, MLA - MXK, NLA - NXK, etc., through XLA - XXK.
3rd series: LLL - LXX, MLL - MXX, NLL - NXX , etc., through XXL - XXX.
4th series: LAL - LKX, MAL - MKX, NAL - NKX, etc., through XAL - XKX.
5th series: AAA - AKK, BAA - BKK, CAA - CKK, etc., through KAA - KKJ.
6th series: AAL - AKX, BAL - BKX, CAL - CKX, etc., through KAL - KKX.
7th series: ALL - AXX, BLL - BXX, CLL - CXX, etc., through KLL - KXX.
8th series: ALA - AXK, BLA - BXK, CLA - CXK, etc., through KLA - KXK.
9th series (numero-alpha): AAA - AKK, BAA - BKK, CAA - CKK, etc., through KAA - KKJ.
10th series: AAL - AKX, BAL - BKX, CAL - CKX, etc., through KAL - KKX.
11th series: ALA - AXK, BLA - BXK, CLA - CXK, etc., through KLA - KXK.
12th series: ALL - AXX, BLL - BXX, CLL - CXX, etc., through KLL - KXX.
13th series: LAA - LKK, NAA - NKK, PAA - PKK, etc., through XAA - XKK.
14th series: LAL - LKX, MAL - MKX, NAL - NKX, etc., through XAL - XKX.
15th series: LLA - LXK, NLA - NXK, PLA - PXK, etc., through XLA - XXK.
16th series: LLL - LXX, NLL - NXX, PLL - PXX, etc., through XLL - XXX.
However with the new AA0-00A format, I have seen letters from the two blocks (A-X) in the 6th slot, which means there are no breakpoints. Therefore, the distribution of the new format should look like this:
17th series: AA0-00A to AX9-99X
18th series: BA0-00A to BX9-99X
19th series: CA0-00A to CX9-99X
20th series: DA0-00A to DX9-99X
and so on...
I could be wrong as it is still too early to be sure, who knows? maybe ICBC would skip a series later, jump back and fourth or whatsoever?
If anyone has more info or ideas, please do share.
