Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Kmart CARS Collector CASE K UPDATE #3 – MORE PRE-SALE COMING!!

UPDATE#3

MORE COMING TO KMART.COM!!

June 4, 2009 9:45 AM PDT UPDATE

600 more cases are on their way to Kmart.com’s warehouse!! Just got the news – CONFIRMED!


So SOLD OUT for now but check back … NascarBroncosFan got word from a customer service rep that they show they are coming in today to Kmart’s warehouse. Whatever their internal processes are so that they show up and available to order are another question – it’s it’s quick – maybe it shows up early tomorrow morning (like last time) or maybe it might take another day but it should be very soon. Last time it went on sale a little after 5:30 AM EDT (2:30 AM PDT) so it would not be surprising if that happened again.

:-)

It’s ..

Finally!

The Kmart Collectors Day cases are now available to order.

Click on the graphic or the link to go to Kmart.com.

If you click on the link, you get this page below – which is definitely weird – major web stores will list something as SOLD OUT or CHECK BACK but to delete the page, that’s weird so maybe they are going to re-load it elsewhere? Or put up a new URL? Don’t know. For now, we’ll have to guess it’ll be the same url as before but until something goes back up? …

Price by the way is the same for a case from last year – shipping is probably $7 per case but there is an offer of free shipping for purchases over $75 but no additional info or code required (it seems) s0 it should show up automatically when you buy some Martha Stewart dinner gongs and a case of CARS. :-)

Now for a limited time only, you can purchase all of the actual Kmart Collector Store Event vehicles on Kmart.com. We are offering a limited supply of the Cars Character Cars cases (18 per case) packed especially for this event online! Better grab ‘em while you can as these cases will disappear fast! These cartons will feature a unique mix of Cars Character Cars and will feature Kmart Exclusive Cars Racers Vehicles with Real Rubber Tires including: #33 Mood Springs, #35 Shifty Drug, #90 Bumper Save, #79 Retread, #51 Easy Idel, #123 No Stall, #117 Lit Torquey, #121 Clutch Aid, #4 Tow Cap and other highly collectible Pixar Cars Character cars as well.

They only ship to US plus US territories. Plus tax but you’d pay that anyway … except for states with no sales tax, of course.

And great news – available for GIFT WRAP so if you want to be 7-years old and celebrate the year end holidays in June … :-)

Some people have asked why are they doing this?

Because they love you with all the hearts?

Okay, a more realistic answer?

Why not?

They get to sell you a full case at full retail – saves them a lot of work.

And they probably noticed that in some cities & stores, they simply had too many cases for too few customers and those stores had to mail them back to the fulfillment center (save 1 case) to resell online after the event. So, this way, they can ship less to their stores and more directly saving and making them more money.

So, now – when will pre-sales be “up?” Last time, the “email me” feature was up for about a week before the CARS were available to order so check back … don’t fall asleep on us, soldier!

When will they start shipping? They seem to offer shipping info that it will arrive as soon as June 4th indicating it will ship out today but elsewhere says it won’t ship until June 20 … so I guess for those who ponied up for overnight, we’ll know in a couple days :-)

Post with rest of details HERE.

Thanks NascarBroncosFan-Kevin for your non-shut eye for 72 hours? 96 hours? 120 hours?  … and for being the lonely sentry at Kmart Hill. We salute you!

So how many did you buy?

As a CONFIRMATION of your order, you should receive an email that looks something like this (with your info, of course :-) ).

thank-you-readcated

You should be fine if you received this email. But if you typed your email address incorrectly or you thought it be funny to give out a fake email address :-/ … you can always check on ORDER STATUS of order by going to the top right hand side of the front page at Kmart.com and type in the email address you listed and your order number.

Or as NascarBroncosFan did on one order, he received this email (with personal info removed) – clearly the order was canceled.

UPDATE -SOLD OUT (for now?)

How many cases did they pre-sell – a thousand or two?

According to NascarBroncosFan, it went up at 2:28 AM PST (5:28 AM EAST) – and a sellout at 7:30 AM PST (10:30 AM EST?)? What’s the earliest attempt to order and you were turned away? Time and your time zone?

As Jericho1 points out, no email from Kmart.com – never received mine – anyone else? Last time, the email notification system seemed to have worked.
