Kmart Collector Day Action Update
Success in Georgia!
The Kmart CARS Collector Day here in Georgia was fairly well attended with lots of master cases being opened with the internal cases opened up and set on a table for open season. While the tag system was available (see photo below) it wasn’t used. We (the little Tizmanians and I) got there at 10:55 and the cases were already being zoomed over.
Several hard core Ebayers were there but not one of the two people (ok, I was buying sifting and grabbing) I spoke to had heard of Take5! (Hello?! Don’t they know I am a big thing on the internets that filled with tubes?!) Ah, well. Their loss. *sniff* Hee, hee.
Kidding aside, everyone easily got what they wanted with most people grabbing a custom loaded box. My estimate is that within 20 minutes this one store sold about 5-6 cases which means there was/is plenty left over (not to gloat but just to report…with apologies my Canadian and overseas friends). Plus, about eight of us got one of the big posters! Sweet!
I hope your Kmart CARS Collector Day proved just as fruitful to you!
Plus, they were handing out flyers for their Hot Wheels Collector Day on Nov. 7th. Bring body armor for that one… ;^) The flyer looked like this:

(MET:EDIT) I own every car ever produced from this line, including every change in card style, error cars, playsets, you name it. Trust me when I say, I’VE PAID FOR THOSE CARS IN FULL not to mention the ridiculous prices that I’ve paid on eBay in 2007 when it took a while for the line to fully expand to all of the markets. You probably bought 10 of everything so you could scalp them on eBay. Having said that, thank you for your comment and your opinion…cause it is an opinion…not Holy Scripture (MODERATOR: I didn’t start this but I am finishing it)
CutiePie??? Is that you???johnny b wins the loser of the year award!
Not only does he/she openly admit to stealing AND going to Hell. But they also offer to have sex with john in miss. That is just creepy. Grow up thief!!
I think you have a problem that can’t be pronounced. I hope that one day there are sufficient advances in medical science so you can be cured.
I take it Johnny is your first name, b is your middle initial and your last name is knob.
I think you may have actually started something you can’t finish. I’ll be nice but I am guessing you don’t really hang around the boards a lot as you will know how nice and helpful the 2 people you just insulted really are. Be nice yourself and they may be able to help you. You might be surprised how many people stick up for ‘family’ here.
This is your crazy threat reply to John suggesting you be removed???? Looks like someone has mental issues… and it is just sad. Name calling is what 5 year olds do. . . Grow up Child. And get some help!
John is one of the best on this site. And the rant you just left.. that had to get the MET:EDIT, only proves more that you don’t belong here. Go back to where you came from before we make you.
Just received my case which is actually far a friend who is in Kuwait at the moment. Wrong assortment. Hopefully the nearest Kmart (40 miles) will have some left to make a right case. Bummer.
please state the contents and provide photos of the box???
thanks
Are you still believing that these ones are different than the ones in the stores??
well………….what do you think PD doesnt seem this assortment can be wrong?
Of course I believe that Mattel could screw up…problem is I think you are still trying to win the arguement that there will be NO lenticulars AND some other NEW cars in the cases….just face it, maybe you read the email from Dev incorrectly and the Maybe, maybe, Met was right!
if it wouldnt be brought back up, then…… maybe?
Haaaaaaaaaa! That is great!
More money then for Pizza.
It probably cost them 5 cents a car to manufacture in China.
But I would never do that, I’m too honest, well, maybe.
Well, I went to my K Mart the day after expecting to find nothing…and much to my disbelief, they said they set up yesterday, all day but no one showed up for it so they closed up a case and rolled it back to the stock room. Then when I asked about them, they rolled all of the cases out to just me…can you believe it? Little old me, all of those cases were mine if I wanted them…but I didn’t…All I wanted was the racers, 1 each…the stock guy said “That’s it?” I said to him “That’s it” Plus I got the poster too. So as I was cashing out, they wouldn’t scan of course. The girl who was running the register was obviously frustrated and instead of calling for a manager for pricing assistance, she asks me what they cost. Being a law-abiding citizen and having the utmost respect for the retail industry, I politely replied, I think they are on sale for $1.00 She said okay and immediately reset the price for $1.00…I’m going to Hell, but at least I got my racers for next to nothing
All in favor of banning this guy from Take5, say “I”…
Hi johnny b –
Hey next time you’re there you should try actually putting the cars in your pocket when no one is looking and walking out with them – a practice otherwise known as “stealing.” There’s really no discernible difference between that and what you did
Oh! and Samuel, almost forgot you didn’t I? Before you realize that you almost got away from this reply without a retort, next time you’re commenting you should try actually coming up with an original suggestion or story about the day, rather than a witch hunt…because this band wagon is full with you and Zero Boy from Misery…and that’s just sad…and funny because there’s really no discernible difference between you two….really, seriously, you two guys should hook up, pen a script for a pilot, sell it to the networks, would make one helluva sitcom.
that was just sad….
Kids, this why drugs are bad for you. You can see how they fry yiour brain
Ok, my leak less tires look like plastc wheels. Has anyone opened theirs to see if they are “rubber” or hard plastic?
(MET: That’s what some people are reporting … The two I have look fine.)
I have checked my credit cards…
Several orders have been charged now. I assume they will be shipping and or have shipped since credit cards were charged

Hi everyone,
I did some investigating, and the cases are being shipped from our Distribution Center either by the end of the day tomorrow or Friday at the latest.
The delivery date will depend on where you live, but you should expect to receive your order at some point next week.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Just to let everyone know…. I’m not a “cars” collector but if anyone is near Jasper, AL, there are still about 7 cases of the Cars ( rubber tires, bn mater, and yellow ramones) A LOT!!!!
I too canceled my order today… i was able to get the cars I needed today at a local kmart. And after doing some math I discovered it cost more to get the cases shipped to me then getting them from the store with the $5 off coupon. (buying in lots of 14 cars at a time)
Overall I would have kept the cases had they shipped last week.
Report from Long Island, NY ->
more people than usual this time around, but with no real rarities to speak of, everyone just got what they wanted and left. many BOXES (i’d say 6-8 full ones) were left for anybody who missed the event. i think i was the only person to purchase a lenticular car. i figured my son would enjoy adding a yellow ramone to his Ramone army at home
good to know all the local children will have a N2O Cola to play with… but some rare cars should have been sprinkled in here somewhere.
(hey Mattel, nothing wrong with dropping a sidewall shine in each box, eh?)
also sent my parents to other long island location and theres was BIG surplus there also… they were able to walk home with 2 full boxes if they wanted. i told them to buy one of everything and leave the rest.
all in all, good event. my son went nuts looking for an octane gain and when he got it he was jumping up and down. big success there!
(MET: Always cute when kids jump & down
).
So whats up with the preorders? Any eta on shipping?
Im still waiting for them to get shipped. I havent been billed either. Thank fully I was able to go to the event. On my order it stated that they would arrive on Sat or Monday. Has anyone recieved there preorder?
I called Kmart today… all presell cases are backordered…expected soon, but no exact details to be had….
Bummer… but at least I do not need these right away…
Does the hotwheels event on november 7 start at 9 am? Never been to one but I am going to this one.
Yes…but call your local KM to double check the start time and how they will be running the event.
first draw I got one case and took out the 5 Lenticulars. A guy next to me was taking out some of the rubber tire cars and keeping lenticulars(inc. the biggest peg warmer of all time LMQ) so I grabbed one of his Vinyl toupee to make a set of three. I have a preordered case coming, too. They handed out poster and I got one. Then they drew a second round and my number was called again, but I turned down the case and asked for another poster instead. Gave away a $5 coupon. Tried to use my 10% coupon on regular merchandise and it didn’t work. Got them at $3.69 also like most people here. Kind of a bummmer, in one way b/c the retail case price works out to $3.99, meaning I overpaid on my preordered case. Oh well, can’t win them all. Still a good day.
My LEAKLESS has no RUBBER TIRES.
Sorry I didn’t say before but, yep, they are only plastic like the original. So now what? Scream for HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich
Okay I know you spent lots yesterday but there is still a Gaskits available. 100% of this auction goes to Cars Cares and Met is stumping up $100 for any Take 5 member who wins. I’m all ou at $220 but hopefully someone else can get in here and push for $300! Come on guys especially if you “need Gaskits”.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330367737823
So if I win at $245 Met’s going to offset $100 of that?
Just thought I would share this little story because it still makes me chuckle. We are standing there waiting to get started and a couple walks by and has no clue what is going on. So they whisper back and forth and the guy finally goes and gets a ticket. Everyone gets there turn to pick 5 and then it’s a free for all. I am standing at a table with them and they are making sure they get one of each car. But, instead of calling them by their proper names they are calling the racers by numbers and the lenticulars by color. It was really hard not to laugh out loud! So they grabbed an empty case and threw their load in and start to walk away. Then the guy stops and turns to another and asks, “Are they gonna charge us for these on the way out?” The lady gave him this crazy look and told him yes. Then she looks at me and rolls her eyes. Then I see the woman set the entire case they loaded up on one of the tables and they walked away. I was laughing and could not believe they thought they could get an entire case of diecast cars for free!
Nicole I guess some people here in Colorado Springs thought there were free on the last event. The guy working at Kmart made a comment before we started that yes they had to be paid for and they we not free. It is kind of funny. I agree.
They need to hang $3.69 signs all over the place — the same thing happened at our Kmart a year ago.
You mean they weren’t free. Oops.
Kmart.com…sticky K key

Darn it, posts arent stayng up…..

One of our Kmart stores had so many extra cases that I cancelled some of my preorders and just bought them at the store Saturday – don’t have to worry about mispacked cases now either. I wonder how many others will end up doing this though and how many “preordered” cases will end up being left over from kmart.com.
I still haven’t received my pre-order. Anyone else having pre-order issues?
GUYS and GALS
“IMPORTANT UPDATE”
My LEAKLESS has no RUBBER TIRES!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Check your packages.
Rich
you should post a picture, mine “look like” rubber tires. yours are plastic tires or no tires at all?
There were about 10 families hovering around my Kmart. Last time they only had one case, but I was feeling good this time though, because I pre-ordered and was only there to get a set for my son to play with, plus a poster (hope hope).
I was surprised when they wheeled out two master cases. It turned out of all the families there in the toy area, only 3 of us were there for the event.
It was very orderly, we all agreed to scrap the tickets and just get what we want. We each got a poster, and I also took home the large cardboard poster. My son loves his cars!
Thanks, Kmart, Mattel, and Take5!
Didnt bother to get there in time since the 2nd Cars day only had me and another dad on the line. So I decided to go at 11:30am. Seems no one got there for the event, all the cars was on the table all for me for the picking. Then I saw a little girl holding a Dr. Mater set so I went to the shelves to get one for myself only to see nothing but singles. Disappointed, I followed the girl so I could ask her where she got the set. As I was following her, she showed the set to her dad and i saw the dad nod as if he was agreeing that they will buy the set. All hope lost, I just walked away and went back on to the toy isle. Then the I saw the girl back on the isle still carrying the set when the unexpected happened, she placed the set back on the shelf and stepped away. With no hesitation I ran towards the set picked up the set and went straight to the counter to pay. And I lived happily ever after. The end.
Ok, the REAL question is…who spent the most? Come on, spill it!
I’m pretty sure I know who spent the most, and it definitely wasn’t me.
Had a wonderful time here in Oklahoma City (Shawnee’s where KMart is located). Since it’s OU/Texas weekend, I HIGHLY recommend that they do more Cars Days this same weekend each year! 16 cases and only 12 people. We got the two sets that we needed for my sons, as well as found a Gil and Nitroade hauler. Went to Target when we got back into the City and found Bubbles Mater, Puddlejumper, and the other one that I can’t remember his name. Sorry, it’s late and I’ve had an exhausting day.
Overall, this was a HUGE success for us! I’ve already gone out onto KMart’s website and praised our KMart for how they handled it–and I’ve begged them to do more.
Now to find two Salutin’ Sarge so we can be caught up…
WELL today was a LONG day for us! My husband is a band director and today was a band competition but they didnt perform until 2:15 sooo i had plenty of time to go to the event and get back! I took my mom just in case too many people showed up so that i could at least get 1 full extra set and then a few to even out the 2 cases in preorder. So we get there at 1030 and my mom disappears and comes back with 6 huge bags of cough drops and a bag of candy.. im like mom what are you doing!? LOL you need empty hands to get these cars! so LOL i had her go get one of those baskets and she comes back and we are standing there for a few minutes just us and then these 2 ladies that were there before us.. sooo .. here come the cases and 5 master cases so 20 cases and they didnt do tickets because there were like 12 of us.. so they get out the first case and my mom is like “SHE WAS HERE FIRST” about those 2 ladies im like OMG shes like ‘SHE WAS HERE FIRST SHE WAS HERE FIRST’ im like mom be quiet haha just stand here and be quiet hahaha my mom has a habit of being loud and making a scene unintentionally some times hahah SO after that shes standing there and they start getting out the collector posters.. .so they pile them on the table i get one and those ladies get one .. and coming around the corner are some parents and their kids like 3 families… and on the other side of the table is this guy POSING to be there only for his kid when i am for sure he was only there for ebay purposes.. so this guy starts gunning for the posters and my mother goes and TAKES THE ENTIRE STACK hahah and goes and hands them to those kids coming around the corner hahahah i seriously about died right there.. im like O m G LOL .. soo THEN we get to open our cases and im like mom i need 2 leakless and 2 vinyl to even out the 2 cases and then 1 other set of racers 1 of each.. soo shes like what color? im like light purple.. well theres 2 purple .. im like omg hah should have come myself LOL hahaha soo i get out 1 of each racer and then the 4 extra… and then grab a few extra vinyl toupee and n2o… MAYBE 3 AT MOST… sooo we get to the register and check out .. .and i DIDNT notice her putting cars in the basket hahahah just copying what i was doing hahah and i ended up with 11 extra n20 cola and 6 extra vinyl toupee hahaha it was seriously the funniest thing ever.. lol and i can see why she doesnt go out on the day after thanksgiving because i swear someone would get hurt hhahahahahhha .. so theres my cars story for the day i dont ever think i have laughed so hard at my mom lol ..
(MET: Can I ask the store for the security video – this sounds too funny
Thanks!)
LOVE that your mom grabbed ALL the posters and handed it too the kids!! That was GREAT!
ok… so here is my crazy kind of day…
the girls I babysit were supposed to arrive at 0830… I was supposed to be at the gym by 0900… notice the word SUPPOSED…
girls got here at 0855… ok, if I leave right now, I’ll only be 10 minutes late for my Zumba-thon… didn’t happen… while I was strapping the 2 year old in her car seat, the 7 year old said that she had to go potty.. I know, I know…. but I soon realized that that it was a ploy to go primp before going to the gym…unfortunately for her, the brush she was using (mine, by the way) was thoroughly and completely tangled in her hair… so much for being 10 minutes late… I go unstrap the 2 year old, fix some juice and a snack, as I knew the untangling trip was going to take a while…. well, after sliming her hair with conditioner and painstakingly loosening up each strand of hair, I finally was able to unstick her from the brush… 45 minutes later…. change 2 year olds diaper, strap in carseat, help buckle in 7 year old, head to the gym… gym daycare gripes at me for being late per my registration time, drop girls off, kiss them on the head and go to my class…. class was SUPPOSED to be over by 1100… 1115, finishing up with class, pick up 2 STARVING children (who can’t wait another 1/2 hour to get home to eat…), go through McD’s drive thru…. feed children while they are strapped in the car, head across town to KMart… it is now noon…walk back to the area where the last event was held… NO CARS!!!! OMG! PANIC!!! I am trying (note trying…) to hurry to Customer Service, while the 7 year old is lollygagging along asking if I could buy this, that and the other while heading to the front of the store… finally, we make it to CS, and I ask very nicely, with no stress in my voice whatsoever, if the Cars Event was held today…..now holding breath… well, the old bat that was working CS hops on the phone to ask “Betty” if “that CAR thing was being held today, because some lady is looking for them…” waiting…. waiting…. “Ma’am, those Cars you are looking for is in the Halloween section….”…. off we go, I put the 7 year old in the cart as well and we briskly walk over there….. ahhhhhhhhhhh, found everything I needed, picked up some extras for friends, and the girls picked out the pink and the purple ones…. headed home and the girls took a nap….. so I guess it wasn’t a bad day after all….
(MET: Hey, you packed a lot into 3 hours).
Yeah, me too. That’s about how long it took me to read it!
hahahahah….. very funny!!!!
I seem to remember some of YOUR posts that were WAY longer than mine, with a minute by minute “play by play”…. play by plays are not necessary…..
I suddenly got a vision of a Peanuts cartoon and all I am hearing is Charlie Brown’s teacher saying “Wha Wo Wha Wha Woow”.
Is that all you got….. lame!!!!!
At least I don’t live in Monabama!
well you should… you would fit right in!!!!
You know, you’re right. I would fit in… as soon as you teach me how to chew cud and of course, your favorite pastime!!
not even going to comment on this… you are just being down right mean, and you should be kicked in the knee caps…. maybe while I am teaching you how to milk the cow, she will do the job for me!!!!!!!
So is this fight for real or just teasing?
It was not a fight. We email and IM all the time and decided it would be fun to pick on each other a little last night.
Yeesh.
Wow, I am honestly surprised at the lack of interest around the country. I don’t know if it’s because we are close to Canada or what, but we had twice as many people as cases and when it was all said and done there was not one rubber tire racer remaining.
Come on admit it, you bought them all!
There wasn’t a lack of interest…I think “lack of sense of urgency” is a better phrase. It sounds like a lot of people pre-ordered this time.
This one seemed a dud. Though I was unable to go on-time there were TONS left over this evening. They’ll be wading through these for a while (at least through Christmas). The only characters in “short supply” were Vinyl Toupee and N20, maybe Rev-N-Go.
Pixar Event #3 –
The nearest K-Mart store to us here in Northern Lower Michigan had 2x Master Boxes (8x cases) and 8x people in attendance – 5x adults and 3x children.
There were 2x PROMO 2009 posters in each Master Box.
No errors or variants that we saw? One case was received crushed however.
Plenty of leftovers – atleast 9x sets of the exclusives.
NO ONE TOUCHED THE LENTICULARS!
“N20 Cola” exclusive was the most sought-after item!
The store had also stocked 2x cases of “CARS TOONS” diecast – one case regular singles and one case mega size.
No other PROMOS or freebies.
VERY WELL RUN EVENT!
We HOPE all the left-overs do NOT affect how many cases this store gets for future events!?! NOT OUR FAULT NOBODY WANTED THE LACK-LUSTER SELECTION OFFERED AT THIS EVENT – plus, the poor economy does not help!
Since we ONLY have K-Mart and Wal-Mart here (No Targets, No TRU), we are GRATEFUL to K-Mart for sponsering these events!!!
It can’t be that difficult or can it? We don’t have a Kmart in our area so Grandma and Papa headed off to the Kmart in Albuquerque. I gave them detailed instructions to look for the 7 cars with the synthetic rubber tires and get 3 of each if possible for a total of 21 cars. Easy, right! NOT!
First call 11:09 from dad – “How many of each car”? “Dad, I told you three of each and a poster.”
Second call 11:16 from mom – “Which cars again”? “Mom, I told you there are 7 different cars with the synthetic rubber tires”.
Third call 11:22 from mom – Now the tone changes and we begin to bicker. “There are more than 7 cars.” “I know mom but we just want the ones with the synthetic tires.” “There are more than 7 cars with the synthetic tires.” “No, there are only 7.” “I’m telling you there are more than 7.” “Fine mom, read me the names.”
“Leak Less, N2O Cola, Octain Gain, Rev n’ go, Re-volting, Trunk Fresh, Vinyl Toupee, Bumper Save, Clutch Aid, Easy Idle……”
Apparently, some of the cases were from event II. I felt bad for thinking my parents were getting too old and couldn’t handle simple instuctions. I apologized to my mom and told her to get 2 of each car from event II. She got a poster and cardboard sign.
Great Score!!
My husband is a Stage and Lighting Technician, he had a show this morning, and I am incapable of leaving our third floor apartment with my 2-year-old and 8-month-old twins by myself so unfortunately I was unable to attend! But….
My hubbie, who is as sick and addicted as me, stopped by our K-Mart and saw some Evil-bay people rummaging through three big tubs full of all the cars. They, however, had hearts and told my husband all about the cars day (he pretended he didn’t know what was happening) and they offered him the ability to go through their mountain o’cars with rubber tires. And he scored 4, count them, 4 posters so if you are in need of a poster. We already have one from Cars Day 2. E-mail me if you need one for your child(ren) and we shall make arrangements.
I HAVE FOUR POSTERS… IF YOUR CHILD NEEDS ONE E-MAIL ME!!!!
TsSweetGirl@aol.com
Went to the only two kmarts here around 4:00pm. 1st store had nothing, all the way across town to store #2…they had plastic bin upon plastic bin of all the releases. Got ONE of each and came home to a very happy child!!!
A little late chiming in, but good day for me too. A word to the wise, One must look out for sneeky stock clerks during the event.
Arrived at 10:44, table set and kart with 4 master cases and clerk watching over.
Went to check cars aisle, looking for 2 high dive maters and new haulers. No high dive maters.
10:50 Back to the table, clerk and kart gone.
10:54 Back to cars aisle, there she is; store stock kart (not Master Case kart) and tickets in hand, along with other stock clerks, too many people in aisle; so
10:55 Back to the table, clerk back by 10:58 ready to get started.
We’re there, my wife and 5 of our kids (including the 2 yr. old).
Got 6 tickets, needed 5 sets of racers – 17 people total for 16 cases.
All 6 called, got 30 cars
11:15 Free for all, everyone waited for the one who didn’t get their ticket called to select their cars and then everyone got everything they needed. During this I helped several people who were newcomers and advised of Take5aday.com for current event information and advance notice of up-coming Cars releases. while I did inventory count in kart to find out which other 5 I needed – done.
11:18 Kids gone to enjoy toy aisles, Wife dis-appears. 2 tables 6 ft. long each covered with remaining cars layed out in lines and some on top, everybody else gone.
To the tables to get the other 5 I needed plus 2 lenticular Yellow Ramones and the wife comes up and says “did you see this” holding a High Dive Mater? Ok! Stop the operation and “where did you get that?”. “On the peg in the cars aisle”.
“Was there another one?” “I’ll check” and off she went!
11:25 Got the other cars I needed and I hear my 5 yr. old Dad,Dad,Dad from a few aisles over (He goes nuts over these Disney Cars). I turn around and here he comes with another H.D.Mater, Sweet!!!
The event was nothing but fun, but watch those stock clerks!!!! Although they would have probably sold more had the shelves been stocked as we were all waiting for the event to start.
Mattel could have packed some of the Final Lap populars in these cases and there probably would have been more people turn out to make the event more successful. Just a thought! Is it me thinking wrong or does Mattel like to shoot themselves in the foot? There were several posts that stated that the only car they needed was n2o cola and even it was an available promo re-sale on eBay.
Also, none of the 5 Columbus, Ohio K-marts return event cases to Mattel. Most stores here leave them out on tables or in totes thru Sunday then fill any open pegs. After that the rest go to the stock room and they trickle them out along with new product during stock operations.
Glad most everyone did well!!
Similar story here…wasn’t it a good day today?
The manager from toys section said “what am I gonna do with all this McQueens with changing eyes…I don’t like Mattel when they do that”
She couldn’t be more clear!
Hey Shelby,
In the first post I forgot to put the words Rubber Tires after
some of the cars in the list, so I fixed it a nd posted it again,
hoping someone can delete the first one.
I wish this was more like a Forum where you can delete your own mess ups.
I also wish, like a Forum, you could post your own pics but I guess you can’t here. Unless I just don’t know how to do it.
Well I could not make it to my kmart until around 1. When I was pulling in and somebody almost hit me! It made me very mad and when I walk in the store I got even madder. There were no cars in the front where they had been for the last events. I walked back to toys and behind the last isle there was the table full with cars. All the cars where there and there were around 100 or so. I went through every car looking for flaws on them. About 90% of them you can just glance and they were damaged. I ended up getting 2 N20 Cola cars, 1 Revolting, and 1 Octain Gain. I would have gottten more but only had 16 dollars.
Missed the event here in Austin, Minnesota.
I attended #2 so wasn’t very worried that I would miss anything.. there’s still Cars from the #2 event on the pegs here.
Went around 8:00pm and they had an end cap full of the “exclusive” Cars. Got one of each for my son, plus the large plastic/cardboard sign from the store entrance advertising the event. I could have probably gotten the one above the end cap in the toy department as well, but didn’t want to walk all the way back to toys to get it, haha.
The only reason I like these events is that I know there will be something new when I show up to the store. Usually I drive to stores once a week and go home disappointed.
There were only 4 of us and I took two complete sets.
14 cars, One set to open and one to add to the last Rubber Tires Event.
I figure at some point they will let us build a Rubber Tire Set, so then
that would mean that we would still need…

There were only 4 of us and I took two complete sets.
14 cars, One set to open and one to add to the last Rubber Tires Event.
I figure at some point they will let us build a Rubber Tire Set, so then
that would mean that we would still need…

I also found today a “Stunt Diving Mater” which I didn’t expect yet.
So today was good.
Something tells me that IF Kmart indeed is going to rubberize all racers, they will likely take as long to do it as possible, like 2012, when cars2 is out. That’s fine with me.
It comes out in 2011…
