Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Kmart Deluxe Mail Away Bonus Box
“Fernando V.” offers up photos of his upgrade for the Kmart CARS Day mail-away …
Yep, his came in the fabled white box treatment for Radiator Springs John Lassetire & Muggsy Liftsome.
These are boxes generally created by Mattel for exclusives. In the last mail away for Ivan, nearly all just came on card in a regular shipping box – a few select people got theirs in a white box also.
It is pretty nice upgrade fancy packaging. It comes with a folded piece of cardboard so the top of the card stays pristine – plus a free wedding invite tissue!
There seems to be no real pattern to why some people receive the upgrade – these should be packed like this leaving the factory so they might take them out of the box to fit more in a box to save on shipping? And if you get a lazy packer, they just put the entire box in? There seems to be no real pattern.
Anyone order more than one set and get these?
Thanks for the nice photos, “Fernando V!”
You still have about 2 more weeks to get your order in.

A bit late, but I just received my 9th order,(it went to a friend who sent it on to me a couple of days ago) and the very last set came with the “fabled” white boxes. Perfect white boxes and with the free white tissue paper and triangle cardboard insert as pictured.
So one of 9, but must say I didn’t ask for the white boxes until the last order.
If anyone has unwanted white boxes for Ivan, John Lassitire, Muggsy, let me know, I would take at least two sets that are in good to great shape.
Mine didn’t come with a white box. But the plastic blister on the John Lassetire is coming away from the card. Not enough glue? It hasn’t been handled except for removing it from the box. Then I was putting it away this morning and the blister is now coming off.
I called Mattel customer service and asked for white boxes. The lady said she would add a note to my order which shipped yesterday. Will see if this worked in about a week.
My first Ivan (not Ivan Muggsy) had no white box. My second round of Ivans did come in the white box.
Just sent my receipts/ card backs in for Muggsy and Lassetire. Hoping for more white boxes!
Just got 3 sets in today, all ordered in one order. Came in a large box UPS Ground not from the post office. Was thinking they would be in the white boxes because the shipping box was so large. Just 6 cars no white boxes and a good amount of packing bag things. Lots more room for White boxes. Can’t be upset because the last mail in for Ivan I had three orders of one car each and the last two came with no packing just sliding around in the box.
No white boxes for me.
Neither promo this time or Ivan came in the white box for me, wouldn’t mind one either, Mattel did not pack our first sets of rebate cars very well. Soft corners here.
