It was a mystery car though presumed to be a Piston Cup racer … and voila!
It’s Gask-its!
Nicest Piston Cup baggie so far … is that all legalese on back?
Ummmm, creamy engine lube …
Thanks GreG for pic of the form and thanks David for pics of the CAR & baggie!
For those who forgot, Gask-Its was supposed to be the March 1, 2009 TRU Buy 5 CARS, Get a free CAR promo … but canceled for the U.S. – guess they were sent to France.

You may contact us for advertising – SEE RULES IN FORUM.
Wow! currently one for sale on Ebay (UK) at £120! I nearly blew a gasket when i saw it! ;- )
Obama is in France now..Let’s ask to him!!!!!!!!
What website can we buy 5 cars from france from to get gaskits
(MET: Someone in France has to do it – only French receipts …).
Is there a rule anywhere that says someone in the US could not send off for this promotion?
If you look at the first picture below the nasty food, it says in fine print “Ofree limitee a la France …….. (can’t read the rest).
I am assuming that it might say that the offer is limited to residents of France or something of the like. Whoever posted it may be able to give us the fine print which will establish the rules. You know how it goes. Get people excited, and then show them the small print.
Limited to France is exactly what it says. Also 1 per household. The rest is the typical legal mumbo-jumbo i.e. incomplete forms will not be honored, allow 8-12 weeks for delivery, while quantities last, etc…
Thanks for the translation. I missed that. Bummer.
will try this posting again:
(I guess my keyboard had a meltdown yesterday and the day before)
French Collectors:
Utah Collectors are looking for Gaskits promos.

I would be interested in trading some things out of the 6/20 case to get my hands on a Faux Wheel Drive and Gask-Its car. Please email me if you’re on the other side of the pond and can help me out. I would greatly appreciate it!

Cool!
That green biscuit thing is a lil scary looking; but the promo is nice.
Didn’t know there was that many Disney Cars fans in France. At least they left the offer open for a long time, so there should be plenty floating around this summer.
Ah, Met, only Tach O Mint, DaleJr Variant and Apple are left unreleased from the 36 Speedway cars?
(MET: Yep. Tach-o-Mint was to be the October TRU promo … might still happen?).
wow…we’ve nearly made it…the full speedway of the south set…If I had only bought it for 300 bucks at hotwheels.com 2 years ago..but then again, I wouldn’t have met all these great people at TFAD !
Isn’t REV N GO still missing? Or has he released outside of the Sots sets?
Rev N go will be in the October KMart Collector Case. So technically not released yet, but scheduled for release. Also a wheeler launcher too if memory serves.
Correct. Rev ‘N Go is scheduled for both.
will the launcher version have regular tires or rubber?
my son hates the rubber tire cars as they can not make the turns on the Piston Cup race track!
(MET: Regular)
I have him in my Speedway Set and he is cool and perfecto, but would like another as I have collected all the promo cars. Parle vous francais?
Oh and another thing. The baggie is bilingual (English/French), so it meets all of Canada’s language requirements.
Made in China, shipped to Mattel Canada, then across the other pond to France. Gask-its sure puts on a lot of mileage.
Could have kept these babies in Canada and save on postage, especially seeing how Canada will NOT be seeing ROR singles. Yes. You read right. We’re going to Lenticulars in July/August. But don’t fret, Mattel still has plenty of WOC singles case A-F on hand.
We will at least get the new launchers? EVER???
Hungry American looking for this CAR….will trade extras of Kmart CARS to trade!!
feel free to email me at im4ujeffgordon@yahoo.com if you can help me out
Which Car?
Never mind! I forgot which page I jumped to!!
Ok I was putting off my trip to France seeing one of the seven wonders of the world wasn’t enough for me but now they have done it!! 😉
i guess its only fair seeing how the u.s. had 2 promos, overseas gets 2. well, anyone live in france and would like to help me out, thanks
WOW, that is awesome . . . I wonder if REMY has any spare time on his paws. Maybe he could help some of us! 🙂
i have a cars question….
…what will happen to them when all the feul runs out?
Okay so who has them and what are you selling them for? Email me at service@pitstoptoyshop.com
Hey I could use 2 Gaskits
My collector club In utah could use some too
nascarnbroncosfans@msn.com
Can Americans send in our receipts to france for a Gask-its?
awesome news for collectors and traders! i need three for those of our European CARS collectors. Hopefully we in the US can help out after the June 20th K-Mart Collectors Day!
Thanks for the info and here is to future trading!
I’m not surprised to see that Gask-Its is turning up Europe… The FWD promo was very popular, and I would have thought Mattel would have had Gask-Its ready for the TRU promo that was supposedly going to start March 1… Hopefully it will expand to other countries… and that our friends in Europe can help us out.
Meant to say turning up in Europe…
Whaaaa? I don’t speak Canadian eh.
Sadly, neither does Mattel….
When they make a Poutine Racer, Canada will get a promo!!
lmgo
*Sigh*
When are they going to make a Canadian promo! We need something exclusive that we can trade!!!
Cool! I was first!
Never .. there is to much stupid rules and law here !!!
