No particular reason. Pick up some fiddle-faddles, get your picture taken with a cardboard standee of Martha Stewart and oh, I don’t know, look at some CARS on a table.

Edwin Kranks, Fred (re-scaled, no stickers), Shiny Wax, Sputter Stop, Transberry Juice, View Zeen & SpareMint & more will be there … Will you?

UPDATE: All the 1:55 CARS listed above will be as singles – that answers the mystery of the listing of Piston Cup racers without an accompanying case assortment.

It’s the first CARS Collector Day.

Kmart’s – October 18, 2008.

11:00 AM

UPDATE #2: They ask us to call their local Kmart to DOUBLE CHECK the time, they might be starting earlier so check – otherwise we might read a story like:

CARS COLLECTOR GOES HULK ON KMART,
THEN CURLS UP IN FETAL POSITION WHIMPERING
SOMETHING ABOUT 'TRANSBERRY JUICE."
SPEAKING OF WHICH, HE WAS THEN TASERED ...
BUT FORTUNATELY IT WAS A KMART TASER.

UPDATE #3: KMart is getting a special CASE CODE 9998 (normally it ends 999T – for example) so are these 7 CARS the only ones in the case? As others have noted during Hot Wheels Collector Events, when your number comes up – you can buy the case or you can look through it … guess we’ll find out on the 18th though it may depend on how many people show up …

And please don’t touch the cards with your fiddle-faddle hands 🙂

The new re-scaled Fred – (top one).

More Piston Cup photos and links, here, here & here.

To find if your store is participating, the list is too long to list – over 2,300 Kmart’s participating so check our EDITGRID list.

Another reason to check the list is that some ARE Sears stores (same corporation) that were recently converted from a Kmart.

Have fun and see you in line! 🙂
