TakeFiveADay “The Monica Contest”
Monica has graciously offered a SDCC Rescue Squad Mater for our next contest!
If you can guess the date and state when & where the Target FINAL LAP CARS will arrive on the pegs, YOU WILL WIN!
Contest starts RIGHT NOW.
To enter, write in the COMMENTS BELOW
CONTEST ENTRY and the DAY you predict the Final Lap CARS will make their first U.S. appearance on pegs or shelves.
The tiebreaker is to guess the which state will receive them first.
And to the first person who sends me PHOTOGRAPHIC proof of the FINAL LAP CARS on the shelves (or pegs), they will win either a SDCC t-shirt or TakeFive Checklist magazine.
The winner will be the person who guesses closest BEFORE the date of the first arrival. And of course, if others guess the same date, the tiebreaker is the US state.
Contest ends Sunday, August 30, 2009 11:59 PM PDT.
You may enter once every 12 hours.
So, thanks Monica for the gracious and generous prize!
And don’t forget the OTHER CONTEST is still ongoing, courtesy of Action Figure Authority-ToyGrader.

If I score big you know I got you covered!
But from what I know only Skip Ricter and Polly Puddlejumper will be in the first case and I am sure they will be very limited in the beginning. Plus, Tyler always gets the first one, even before my collection.
When is your birthday Ev? I get to be another year older on Monday (31st)…. Hopefully some cars items will come my way!!! 🙂
9/11 – We can celebrate on both days!! 😀

Today I found some Lenticular cars at Target. I thought the weren’t supposed to have any. Hopefully, they won’t be getting them in other targets. I want Final Lap and I want it now. I also saw what seemed to be a couple new movie moments 2 car packs. Culver City, CA.

Met, can I PhotoShop a Target aisle with Final Lap prototype packaging, and then put today’s date and “my computer” for my entry?
(MET: I will need a receipt and a photo of you enjoying a Target churro also 🙂 ).
Met, based on your comment, I will not be PhotoShopping a Target aisle with Final Lap prototype packaging!!
(MET: So, you’re saying you don’t enjoy packing peanuts doused in cinnamon and deep fried? 😉 ).
Met, my Target still has the same hot dogs on the Roll-O-Matic from when we were collecting DB Cars, so I don’t think I’ll be venturing into the Churro arena very soon!

Any relation to Pirate Dad or Juice Pirate?
No relation to ’em, Yar!!! They won’t be claimin me at the gallows, but will have to pry the Apple car I have yet to plunder from my cold dead fingers…. “Avast! There be CARS!!!” ‘Tis the cry of many a Take fiver with sealegs or landlubber alike. When we go to a Kmart CARS Day event, we lay waste to the lot of scurvy, pestulent dogs. “Take what ye can, give nufink back!” ARRRRRR Times five, every day.

hey jake u should have this nailed dude shouldn’t u know the route they have to take?
It’s complicated. Plus these are exclusive to Target so there’s no telling which Target distribution center will ship them out first and to where they will go.
in what state is the mid-west distribution warehouse?
If you’re asking about Target, I have no idea. The one for Mattel is in Texas.
