Free CARS 2 Backpack With $10 Purchase
So I was digging through the seven (yes, seven!) master cases at the Kmart Collector Days this weekend looking for some extra posters for some of my fav-O-rite readers on Take5 when I saw a pad with an offer and grabbed it for later reading.
Turns out that Mattel is offering a FREE CARS 2 backpack with a $10 purchase of CARS 2 product!
The form above doesn’t specifically say “Kmart” but “…this retailer” so I gotta wonder if these are popping up elsewhere around the U.S. retail space. Anyone else see these forms before?
It may be possible this is the same backpack offer Metro talked about here.
Certainly beats hoofing around looking like this:
While not entirely FREE (what is?), the backpack is $3 for postage and handling along with your ORIGINAL receipt (keep a copy!), the UPC symbols of the CARS 2 product purchased, and the completed form above.
The deal is good on purchases from 5/15/11 – 9/30/11 and must be postmarked by 10/15/11 and received at Mattel no later than 10/23/11.
Limit one (1) ‘free’ backpack per person, per household so if you have more than one Take5 Jr running around your abode like me, this makes it tougher but not impossible to accomplish. I think it is safe to say the Take5 community could outfit a few entire schools from just our past weekend purchases. 🙂
Am I right?
Oh, yeah….I know I’m right.
Viva CARS 2 and Take5!

Do you receive any confirmation or anything? Or does the backpack just show up randomly within 6-8 weeks? I’d really like to know, I’m very impatient, lol. Thanks guys.
I got an email telling me my order was shipped and will arrive in 10-14 days. That was a few weeks after I mailed in the request. It took about a month from request mailed to delivery.
But did you include the bar code or not? I almost forgot it too..
No, I didn’t include the bar code but they sent it to me anyway. I was really surprised 🙂
Weird, I don’t remember writing my e-mail address. Maybe the forms were different?
You’re right, there is no place on the form for an email address. The email I got came from “Consumer Service Center ConsumerServiceCenter @Fisher-Price.com”. The link in the email went to “Mattel Consumer Relation Support Center”. The only thing I can figure is since I am registered at Mattel.com, they used that email address. I’m just glad they sent the backpack since I forgot to put the UPC bar code in with my request form.
Ah, that makes sense. I probably won’t receive any confirmation, but I did include everything. I guess I will just be patient. Thank you!
A tale of someone who doesn’t read instructions…
I sent in the form, receipt & check without the bar code. Wonder if I’ll ever see the backpack or if they’ll just put my request in the circular file LOL.
DOH!
Got my backpack a few days ago 🙂
My son got his in the mail last week and loves it! It’s a pretty nice backpack!
Cool. I was waiting until someone actually got one before I sent ours in.
I have seen them at Vons as well.
i found mine at giant foods pa.
I’ll try that, thanks.
In Big Lots, they were on the back of the large tray which held the singles.
Where in the store are people finding these at the Big 4?
Haven’t seen them in the big 4. Didn’t really look either.
We need a Big Lots in the Neck, nearest ones are Eldersburg, G’burg & H’town…
Great feedback you guys! Happy to hear there are multiple points of retail to get a backpack. Certainly helps those that don’t have one of the major chains nearby…
At Big Lots there’s a pad attached to the rear of each display tray.
Got mine at Big Lots and send it out couple weeks ago…
I found this at my local Thriftway (locally owned grocery chain) sent it in about a week ago.
Only one per address? Guess I’ll have to have some sent out to both sets of Grandparents too so each kid can get one!
I’ve seen them at Kmart, Big Lots & Target so far. Sent 1 in with my moms address and will work on getting the junk together to mail in another here. I did this with the Toy Story lunchboxes and they’re in
the garage — with the nine hundred and eighty coolers we have purchased over the years. I have a feeling the backpacks will end up there too ! 🙂
I have a few of these, taken from several Hess stations near the house. Rumor has it they are also available at CVS, but I have yet to see any.
