Presale online has always been for cases. (the first and last 3 Kmart days) But occasionaly there are those on TFAD that take preorders for single cars, example 1 of each, 2 of each Racers only…etc etc etc..and split cases up and OR buy the singles at the events in case you cannot attend.

So it looks like the pre-sale is for upcoming K-Mart Days & cases only? Collecting K. Kahne & Herbie the Love Bug is so much easier on the brain, LOL! I need a bigger house (or get rid of half the junk in this one)!

Thanks!

Okay, I’ve seen “presale online” mentioned a few times. What’s the story on this? Also, how do I find collecters in the Springfield, MO area? Yeah, people I work with and others I have contact with are familiar with CARS (some only because of Rt.66 running through Springfield), but they just can’t grasp my facinations.

Thanks!
Rob

Yes and there are plenty of people in other states that have TFAD members that meet up too, sit by the computer for hours an days on end waiting for the presale online to go live

I’m new to Take 5 A Day, so forgive my ignorance. Does Take 5 give us advance notice/e-mail of the K-Mart Days? There are several K-Marts in the area, but naturally all the other side of town; so I rarely get to see their window sign announcements.

Thanks!

(MET: Yes, you’ll get plenty of warning The next one, if there is one might be spring 2010 …).

I agree Brown Fury – I am usually not so picky.. but since I was buying for others at this event… it took me a Looooong time to find the good paint job ones. Lots of cracking and dust all over the cars inside the package.

The promo’s are not “releases” in the sense that you can buy the car at your store. And even for those who bought extra (or even duplicate) CARS just to get the promos (or bought them on e-bay), they weren’t packaged properly to display with the other blister packs. While some of these cars may have been available in launchers, I know many people (including myself) who don’t buy the launchers, so having a car by itself in a package amounts to the release of a car that has not been available to us before. So, for those of us looking to build a collection of just the carded characters from the movie, there were six new releases at K-Mart this week. The other two people who showed up with us on Saturday must have agreed because they walked away with just the same six cars that my daughter and I each got.

(MET: As a general rule, even as a singles only collector for any line, a tire variant is a significant release change so it is always considered ‘NEW.’ An accessory inclusion is less important but it is still considered a significant variant. You of course are free to collect whatever and anything you like but by all regular measurements, it is considered ‘NEW.’ (not to mention – an exclusive and packaging limited in the US).
