In theory, the mail away offer for the 2 free Deluxe CARS is straightforward. Buy 5 CARS singles between 10/19 and 11/16, mail in your receipt and 5 cardbacks to the Mattel website address (fill out the form online), include P&H, and you’ll receive 2 free Deluxe CARS in a few days. The MAIN problem […]

Cardinal Pitty #1 & Cardinal Pitty #2 is presumably joined by Father Burke in a Movie Moment 3-pack? Or is Father Burke considered a “deluxe” and so it’s some other 3-pack but there are no listings for those so it seems more plausible they realize the wide hat does not really make these “deluxe” and […]

“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 […]

Yea, the Cardinals rule! (Not the St. Louis ones, this one below). Along with the other one. The other Cardinal Pitty, “Cardinal #2” Blessed it are the CARS Collectors. We might need to consult someone in removing these from the card. One more in the set coming tomorrow.  

The sales of Radiator Springs Classics seem to have slowed down quite a bit. This is the first case assortment that did not just fly off the shelf – and after about 3 weeks, most still seem to be on the shelf. But it’s still nice – for newbies and kids, it’s a chance to […]

Remember, it now starts at 9 AM, Not 11:00 AM. Yes, your local time zone so fuel up early – either you will face a madhouse of Mardi Gras like crowds fighting over a few cases of CARS or Ghost Town USA in your local Kmart USA. If you have never been, arrive slightly before […]

Collectors of the Kmart CARS Day posters will be ever so slightly disappointed … Ta-da! Collect ’em all! At least it’s 2-color. And a poster fitting the CARS Day #10 extravaganza … event … cart in the aisle that this is. Hopefully it’ll at least be a cart in the toy section. So, just to […]

The Kmart CARS Day #10 case assortment seems pretty confirmed. The photo from “Jack” essentially matches the unofficial “official list.” So, while we were pretty certain it was a Gold Metallic Rip, this pretty much removes any doubt. What is interesting is it does NOT say Kmart exclusive so I guess only Muggsy Liftsome & […]

While we knew the October offer would include the “Green Epilogue” John Lessetire Pickup truck, it was a mystery about Muggsy Liftsome – especially since they mailed one out by accident. One of a kind until October 30th, then 1 of 5,000 or so. The offer is different this time. Buy 5 singles AND get […]

Ruka has arrived early. Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” One of the last CHASE CARS of 2013 – also in CASE Q along with Ichigo. Nice detailing on such a tiny CAR. She was supposed to the last CHASE CAR of the year in the Kmart Case – one of their “early to […]
